This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

This week at Democracy Docket: On the ground in Chicago to bring you exclusive election news Unlike a lot of media outlets that cover politics, at Democracy Docket we invest in original reporting. This week was a great example of why.

NEW: Democracy Docket’s @jaknutson.bsky.social spent the week in Chicago covering meetings of a key federal voting panel.

Meanwhile, the DOJ racked up its fifth loss in its voter data lawsuits when a court dismissed its case against Rhode Island.

Catch up on the week’s biggest headlines below👇

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6’3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat

On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat

If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.

No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.

The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

“Don’t believe your lying eyes”—the Trump administration pushes a reality that doesn’t match what Americans are feeling at the pump or seeing in the courts. Meanwhile, efforts to rewrite January 6th are sparking outrage on Capitol Hill. Scott MacFarlane has it all in his evening report.

I think if I went to the moon and came back my cats' greetings would consist of "Where the hell have you been all this time, and when is dinner?"

Just kidding, they'd be loving on me. And then asking where the hell I'd been and when was dinner.
