“Mr. President, if your handling of the economy is so great, why aren’t these numbers being released & celebrated?”

If we had a press corps with integrity & grit, they’d ALL be asking him this question nonstop until he answered.

If democracy dies in darkness, we have seen that the legacy media is willing to turn off the lights. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to shine a spotlight on the most important fights for democracy— those taking place in court.

MAGA stands for freedom of speech for Nazis—but not anyone who opposes them.

That’s…not called freedom of speech.

That’s just simple, old fashioned fascism.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

Republican lawmakers are in a no win situation of their own making. They can never be radical enough for angry MAGA and the rest of us now think they are pedophiles or think pedophilia is okay. 😳

I love the "return home after this Congress" language. As if it's 1825 and he's not seen his humble farm since he rode off on horseback to serve in the nation's distant capital. Cue plaintive fiddle music.

This a thread about one feature of the Trump Admin's EO regarding the Smithsonian that I haven't seen much explicit discussion of. The stated purpose for reviewing Smithsonian exhibits and collections is to ensure they align with something called "Americanism." That term has a notable genealogy.

Same approach as the War on Terror. Throw them all in Guantanamo and sift through them until you find the actual bads. Past is prologue.

They aren't trying for violence, they are going for volume and by statistics alone, they are getting some violent people along with thousands that are innocent

"As ICE officers continue to arrest the most violent criminals nationwide"

Any news article, that uses these words isn't a serious news source.

They are arresting innocent people left and right to meet quotas, and they are getting violent ones by accident.

Re-read that last line twice.

Tesla scales back Robotaxi fleet goal in Austin

The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin has only about 30 Model Ys in use. When we compare 60 vehicles to the 500 cars promised just weeks ago, the difference is huge. Tesla will miss its year-end goal by almost 90%.

The announced doubling of the Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin only brings the total number of supervised EVs to about 60, a massive shortfall from the 500 vehicles the company promised just weeks ago.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Sen. Mark Kelly says a president demanded lawmakers be **hanged** for telling the truth. That’s not anger—it’s an unhinged bid for power above the law. America survives only when leaders answer to the Constitution, not one man’s rage. And we cannot afford to look away.
