⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law.

I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

Every day brings more signs of cowardice and capitulation. I stated Democracy Docket in 2020 to be independent and pro-democracy no matter what. If you value media that will never compromise, bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

And not a single mention in the Times about Michael Ellis installing himself as CIA general counsel. Fascinating.

If State Farm is truly interested in being a good neighbor, it should be transparent and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Other insurance companies work with us on this, but State Farm has refused.

Without the data, homeowners have no assurance.

Cult of brainwashed people, who now think that good people are bad, evil people are cool, lies are true, science is fake, magic is real, abusing those weaker than you is strength, love is weak, hate is power.

Sorry, MAGA, America Will Never Be a White Nation

A racist Trump Administration is abusing all of its power to make America white again, but the majority belongs to a multiracial nation that opposes white supremacy and wannabe Kings.

PPA

Oct. 15, 2025

STATEMENT

Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.

The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.
