He acts like he doesn’t care. I don’t blame this young lady. She’s paying to educate herself.

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections.

This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.

VA Senators seek to stop the immediate expenditure of $85M to move the Space Shuttle from Virginia to Texas. Ultimately, the move will cost ~ $400 million. I can think of a hundred better ways to spend these tax dollars.

There was no characterization. That’s what he said.

But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

Supreme Court allows Governor Lisa Cook to remain at Fed. SCOTUS signals that the independence of the Federal Reserve is unique. Every living Board Chair and former Treasury Secretaries appointed by both DEM and GOP Administrations weighed in to support Dr. Cook. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
