We need a new crime category beyond felony called "high crime," which involves attacks on democracy like this. Speedy trail by a tribunal, long prison sentences, limited appeals, and no chance of pardon.

Kristi Noem must be removed. PERIOD.
Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

My favorite scene from the fantastic movie that is Sinners: Vampire River Dance. I don't get it. It shouldn't work. But it does...

Trump is the least of our problems. We have a system that creates Trump voters. The next wannabe dictator will be worse unless we act decisively.

CBS News has capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without any corporate backers or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The ultra-rich have amassed disgusting amounts of wealth by exploiting the working class.

It’s time to put the working class first and fight for our right to live.

Elon's trillion-dollar comp plan is corruption pure and simple.
Tesla's EU sales were down 48.5% in October, and are down 30% in a year-to-date when EV sales are up 26%.

Tesla's China sales fell 35.8% in October, for an 8.4% decline year-to-date.

Tesla's US sales fell 24% in October, after incentives expired.

IT'S HAPPENING!
