We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.
Asking them to defend their positions as SURVIVORS is like TELLING THEM THEY DESERVE TO BE MOLESTED AGAIN.
WE HAVE THE FILES
RELEASE THEM 🤬😬😬
Clears it up a lot.
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
I’ll never get used to the president being a petty, whiny little bitch
Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?
Mark Rufalo warns Congress against the Paramount-WBD merger:
"You don't have to watch 'Citizen Kane' or read '1984' to understand that the concentrated oligarchic control this merger represents is a threat to a free press, an informed populace & democracy itself."

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich
Well, today we're taxing the rich...
NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.
The president’s new attorney general today swore that not one single more Epstein file would be released. This is probably because the last AG got fired because she released credible allegations against the president by a 13-year-old child.
Colorado's wealthiest man owns Coachella.
He also bankrolled Project 2025, and the right-wing machine that killed Roe. I spent 20 years organizing to protect the rights he spent millions trying to erase.
That's why I don't take corporate PAC money.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
(I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)
I am proud to say that Democracy Docket does not publish on Substack. www.democracydocket.com
My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.
Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?
EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS:
Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy.
🧵
Man. Person. Camera. Jesus. Doctor.
I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
🚨 Euphoria in Budapest!
Tens of thousands of people are flooding the streets to celebrate the opposition’s stunning victory. The scenes in the metro are absolutely incredible.
What a night! 🇭🇺✨
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
If you don’t think this post is batshit crazy see your doctor ASAP
Péter Magyar victory speech:
"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."
He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.
all over the world, these guys are just exact xerox copies of each other.
in this case, "istvan" is pronounced "JAYR-id"
Dear maga “Christian’s”
Trump is now violating the first commandment
The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.
Activists hold sign TYRANT
Today, the people of #Hungary toppled their tyrant.
America, our return to democracy requires our full attention.
We can see it can be done!
At a packed Budapest metro station, crowds of Hungarians are chanting: “Russia, go home.”
It’s our turn now. #Vote
I don’t think a lot folks understand how massive Péter Magyar’s election was today in Hungary over Viktor Orbán.
It was a massive 33% swing in votes. That’s insane. That would be like a Democratic supermajority being created in Congress overnight.
Holy shit.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
