Finally got a Bluesky account (I have been reading my fav profiles for a while), but Schumer ticked me off. I had to share info about the CR. But he and 9 others vote yes anyway. They didn't listen to us. https://www.epi.org/policywatch/house-passes-con

After the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi supported raising the age to 21 to purchase assault weapons in Florida.

But when asked yesterday, she avoided the question. This is what the gun lobby’s influence looks like.

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @judiciarydems.senate.gov · 1d

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Do you support raising the age to 21 to purchase assault weapons?

Bondi: I won’t discuss pending litigation.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Your views are not pending litigation.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

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.
