It’s times like these I’m more grateful than ever for @atrupar.com’s work, and why I’m a proud PN subscriber!

Kash Patel’s phony manufactured stats that he uses to cover up his gross incompetence.

This is the book corporate America does not want you to read — which is exactly why you should pick up a copy.

"Gouged" is OUT! I started this book angry about all the ways corporations are ripping us off. I finished it hopeful, because once you know how they're doing it—you can start to fight back. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this. Now go read it.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Once again, political cartoonists tell the truth by keeping things simple.

NEW: Food banks across America are being overwhelmed by surging demand. Scott MacFarlane went inside to see the crisis firsthand. Here’s what he found:

“They don’t understand the scale of the hunger!”- An unfolding crisis at the nation’s food banks

Weeks before the midterm elections, the cost crisis is hammering food pantries in red and blue states

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.

Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC� #NUFC

The military has every right to vote, but political pressure from the top crosses a line. Keeping the military out of partisan politics matters.

The year before Election 2024, I was helping run UCLA’s DEI Office in LA—and siccing my AuDHD savant 🧠 on analyzing not just Project 2025’s substance, but its impact on my nation. I predicted (not really a prediction) all these horrors. Most accused me of trying to scare ppl into voting for Harris.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.

IMPORTANT: There are 15 states that require in-person registration 28–30 days before an election, meaning this maybe your last week to register. Check your registration at Vote.gov.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Being an adult is mostly saying “after this week things should calm down” until you die. I’ve been saying it since 2007. At this point I’m beginning to suspect there may not actually be a calm week. Just different themed disasters with occasional snacks.

The Golden Age is going so well, Americans are nostalgic for 2008.

Todd Blanche is all in on this all out assault on Democracy. That’s crystal clear.

Mamdani: "To have a potential governor who embraces ICE and has gone so far as to create effectively a private militia in Nassau County, that is in many ways the antithesis of what people hope for is the future of the state, and yet that is exactly what Blakeman is offering."

Still wondering why people are fed up with the system?

The horror!

We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them

I’d rather be annoying than oblivious. These days, neutrality looks more like surrender.

“From Bordeaux to Paris, via Rennes in Brittany and Die in the southeast, thousands – 120,000, according to organizers – turned out ‘for the climate, for life, for peace, for social justice.’”

Before the week begins, I have a specific request: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
