Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 8d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Federal mortgage-fraud prosecutions are exceptionally rare. The amount allegedly at issue in the Letitia James case is so paltry that it would not normally draw the attention of federal prosecutors, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

The Indictment of Letitia James and the Collapse of Impartial Justice

The question raised by the prosecution of James is: would any other federal prosecutor have brought this case against any other defendant? The answer seems to be no.

In 62 years, the only time I didn’t feel safe was when I stood up to a gang of Neo Nazi Skinheads. Why isn’t trump sending in the Guard to states that have a strong White Supremacy presence?

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

When Pres Biden came into office in Jan 2021 they discovered that Federal Court Filing Document system had been hacked into by Russian hackers. Why would they do that? Were they looking for Epstein docs of money laundering for blackmail? 1/2
