Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

The last 24 hours have made clear that independent and pro-democracy media is more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.
I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.
I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.
This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.
Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

Criminal charges anyone? Trampled human rights, protocols for how prisoners should be treated… and I’m just guessing here, corruption?
A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.
