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.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

Wait till they start doing this around your polling stations during an election.

Whoops, we detained a few hundred people from your most closely contested immigrant "looking" districts and scared away a few thousand more. I guess they didn't get to vote. Sorry.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Trump: “I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. They don’t even have stores anymore”.

Portland: Busts out the inflatable frog, raccoon, bear and unicorn for a late night dance party.

This isn’t a city of dangerous criminals.

It’s a city of artists. Of writers. Of weirdos. Of resisters.
