A person is not a people. If you are saying ‘them’ for the actions of ‘him’, you are wrong.
And inevitably when the mob expands, ‘them’ will include ‘you’. And it will be too late for us all.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

The people of Texas are speaking truth to power. Listen to your neighbors explain why they’re fighting against manipulated district lines that threaten to divide our communities.
These are the voices that matter most in the redistricting process.

10. You might lose health insurance entirely, meaning that a trip to the emergency room could bankrupt you.
The money you lose will be handed directly to a handful of giant corporations and billionaires as tax giveaways.
We still have time to stop it.
