Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Senate Republicans just voted to shut down the government — blocking our bill to fund it responsibly, protect health care, and stop Trump from getting a blank check for his lawlessness.

They’d rather please their Dear Leader than deliver for the American people. Shameful.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

At 2:00 a.m., Texas Republicans passed their gerrymandered congressional map.

At 8:00 a.m., with the support of the National Redistricting Foundation, my law firm sued.

Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

One of the most under reported stories in the legacy media is how many states the RNC and DOJ are suing right now to access their voter rolls. It is a frontal assault on democracy that Democracy Docket covers every day, while legacy media both-sides Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
