The After Action Reports write themselves.

"ICE officer Dorkworth was twerked upon (sic) by a rainbow unicorn, then offered donuts by Godzilla.
We believe RJ the Raccoon from Over the Hedge was also present but we were unable to confirm ID as he would not stand still for an iris scan."

The president of the U.S. is cognitively declining, unstable, attacking American citizens and cities using the military, taking away our healthcare and our vote.

And that not the craziest and most dangerous issue.
That award goes to the GOP Congress who stands by and watches.

Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

This was genuinely not-horrible from Jeffries.

No rescission. No impoundment.

But the tax cuts works.

Jeffries: "Republicans enacted permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected. Permanent tax breaks. And now the nerve of these people to say to us that 'we do not have the time or inclination to address the ACA tax credits for working-class Americans'"

Whitehouse: "It obviously makes a big difference when you have a professional DOJ and there's no alleged involvement of the president in a sex trafficking operation. This is different. This is a MAGA DOJ conducting an investigation into a trafficking operation in which POTUS may well be implicated"
