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.

If your church is turning away people who show up to your doors in good faith, you don't have a church. You have a very expensive book club with scarcely any wine.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

The Epstein saga is a confluence of everything wrong with the world. Wealthy people using their power to victimize and exploit women and girls, the influence they have on politicians, the way people overlook things to be near power, and the press abandoning their responsibility to inform.

Jeffries: "It's incredible that Trump & Rs have decided to weaponize hunger & starvation by unlawfully withholding SNAP benefits from 42m Americans. But this is not surprise when you consider that in their one big ugly bill, Republicans already enacted the cut to SNAP benefits in American history."

Great @gbbranstetter.bsky.social read on how throwing trans people under the bus is not a winning political strategy and in fact the opposite is true. Democrats have an opportunity here to not be craven cowards succumbing to transphobic messaging.
Democrats Can’t Blame Trans People for Their Own Failures
Despite the attempts by so many in the party's establishment to paint trans rights as a toxic issue, transphobia was soundly rejected across the country this week.

Republicans have no money for SNAP to feed Americans, but when this guy needs $40 billion to bail him out before his election, that becomes Trump’s #2 priority after his ballroom.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.
Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?
That’s really what you are going with?
That we hate the United States of America?

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.
