Remember, the FBI reportedly created a spreadsheet of the all the references to Trump in the Epstein files. It's imperative for Democrats to demand that the Trump List be released along with the files. Otherwise you can rest assured that they will redact every reference to him.

It is late and I have a lot of work to do. But the excitement of today's big victory in Texas has me writing instead about how we got here and what is next. Become a Democracy Docket member to receive all my writings and to support the 21 person team. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

How busy is the fight for free and fair elections in court?

My law firm is currently litigating 65 voting and election cases. 12 of these relate to redistricting. We have four cases pending in the U.S Supreme Court -- including one I am arguing this Dec.

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

NEW: I tried to explain why there are so many victims of spyware, despite the fact that its makers have been telling us for years that the tech is only intended to be used in limited cases.

There are several reasons, including how the spyware systems are designed, and how powerful they are.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
