Boycott CBS News
Today I wrote about 60 Minutes' decision to obey in advance and why it represents the sad end to the storied franchise.
We are in desperate need of strong independent media. You can help Democracy Docket be a part of it by becoming a premium member today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Update: President Pedo Manbaby didn’t like the jobs report in the wake of his insane and chaotic policies.
Rather than figure out how to stem the decline caused entirely by him, President Pedo Manbaby decided to fire the person overseeing the jobs report.

If, as CNN reports, the war council went on for hours—and if, as CNN has written, the White House was keen to keep it secret from us—the number of foreign and domestic Trump associates who could've dipped in and out of the council is extraordinary.

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

Yes, and if the history of military conflict teaches us anything, it's that shooting the people in your own trenches is definitely a winning strategy
I don't give a shit who says it, but Dems need far fewer conflict adverse geriatrics that don't have the energy to fight. It's a political war right now and we need more people that act like it.
