"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records."
@sanders.senate.gov on the opportunity cost of war: "All over this country, people are sleeping out on the street, can't afford housing, can't afford healthcare. We are the richest country in the history of the world... We need to provide a decent standard of living for every man, woman and child."
If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.
So much “winning.” 🙄
Good news, Trump won't sign any more bills. See you next year
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Yes
We used to be a country that could summon outrage and turn it into courage. Now, MAGA watches Trump bomb a girls’ school in Iran and lie about it. Here are some ideas about what we need to do about it. joycevance.substack.com/p/bloody-sun...
But brings evening dog walks into the light. 🤷🏻♀️
Democracy Docket is expanding its team and broadening its scope and offerings. What won't change is its mission to provide independent pro-democracy news, information and analysis. It will never bow down or bend a knee.

Fair enough.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
The price of oil surged higher and showed no signs of halting its rapid climb a week after the U.S. and Israel launched major attacks on Iran that escalated into a war in the Middle East.
Feelings aren’t facts, Karoline. Remind your boss.
NEW: Idaho became the latest state this week to push back against the DOJ’s attempt to access states’ unredacted voter data.
But the Gem State isn’t alone — the tide is beginning to turn, with the effort even sparking opposition from some Trump supporters. https://bit.ly/4cwKV55
The "leader of the free world" is a 6 year old boy.
Those who don’t learn from history…
$217 billion a year is enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid and SNAP cuts AND fund the enhanced premium tax credits that Trump let expire.
A free press requires independent media.
If allowed, the Ellisons would have a stake in CBS news, TikTok + CNN.
We joined a coalition calling on state AGs to scrutinize the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger: www.americanprogress.org/wp-content/u...

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
Reckless and avoidable, yes. Also, unethical, unnecessary, and foolhardy.
Trump's reckless & avoidable war on Iran and it has already cost taxpayers more than $5 BILLION.
$5 BILLION down the drain in less than a week on a war Americans don’t want.
But somehow we don't have money for health care or housing.
Maybe I’m too demanding but I’d really like a definitive answer on why the United States started a war in Iran and what we are trying to accomplish.
Yeah, right. Utter hogwash.
