Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

White House correspondents, D.C. bureau chiefs, and media execs: The German government expelled Dorothy Thompson from the country in August 1934. She's remembered and respected today for her important coverage and analysis over the next decade of the German regime. Be like Dorothy Thompson.

As we end another long day, Democracy Docket is tracking three cases in the Supreme Court that could affect the 2026 midterms: USPS mail-in ballot restrictions, Missouri redistricting, and DHS voter lists. My ask is simply this: Support Democracy Docket by subscribing now. demdock.com/4w6emld

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Thanks to you, I reached my initial goal of 250 new Democracy Docket subscribers in 6 hours. So, now I am doubling it to 500! Democracy Docket won't send you spam or sell your email. It's not on Substack or ActBlue. Free and premium options available. Link and thanks! demdock.com/4w6emld

We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.

Also a good reason to continue to support local farms. Look into farm shares in your area. I have been part of one for six years. It's a great way to support local farmers and have the first crack at nutritious and delicious produce. #CSA #FARMSHARE #ShopLocal

RFK Jr. made Cyclospora tracking optional, gutting a CDC program used to detect outbreaks. Now cyclosporiasis has hit 31 states. That's what happens when you dismantle the systems designed to keep us safe. www.npr.org/2026/07/12/n...
