🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

It's time for Speaker Johnson to quit stalling and swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva to secure the final vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

And let’s not forget:
this festival falls on the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Nothing says “honoring the journalist your hosts dismembered while he was still alive, screaming” like trying out your edgiest new masturbation jokes.

Riyadh isn’t a "comedy festival." It’s image-laundering with dick jokes.

📌During his campaign in 2015, Trump said he would replace Obamacare with, quote: "something terrific, phenomenal and fantastic" that would "save money and result in better health care."
Ten years later, he's still got nuthin' and has decided to kill the entire United States government instead.

Trump furlough’s thousands of government employees only to near immediately rehire them.

This is nothing short of an intimidation move from a tiny little orange man in search of absolute power-by-fear.
