David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.
I’m not a fan of Gavin Newsom for a few reasons. But there’s a lot of mis- and dis-information out there about his non-support of a one-time wealth tax in CA. The reasons are good ones. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.
ICE agents raided the family dormitories at the Dilley detention center and snatched this Bluey coloring page from a child before they could finish. I sued ICE to get these drawings back. You can what they sent me here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...
Republican FCC Commissioners Brendan Carr and Olivia Trusty approved Paramount’s merger with Skydance in July 2025. Months later, as it eyed a merger with Warner Bros., Paramount gifted both commissioners tickets to the Kennedy Center's swanky gala. If that isn’t corruption, I don’t know what is.
We disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...
How is Texas AG Ken Paxton able to own a 5-bedroom, 3-story “modern luxury” Oklahoma lodge worth over $1.6 million on a $153K government salary? Asking for a friend who’s still waiting on that public servant lifestyle. 🤔
We all knew those two would approve him once they got their pound of flesh. Why would anyone have thought otherwise?

We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.
I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. I founded Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld
Of course, here's Trump jumping in to attack Anthony Fauci and lie about his own role during the pandemic. Fuck him, fuck Rand Paul, and fuck all of these lying filth.
Republican members of Congress—all of whom have sworn loyalty to a man, Trump, who scientific journals confirm caused at least 400,000 needless deaths during the pandemic—are today calling for prison for a man who *saved* millions of lives in the same period. A *disgusting* day.
Seriously. Find training in your city. We all need to rise up.
Trump's #ICE thugs are abducting up our friends & neighbors and brutalizing them. It's up to each of us to speak out against #ICELawlessness & call Congress to demand action to stop Trump's rein of terror. 📞 202-224-3121 It's up to us to take action to stop this madness. 🧵

After Trump's sundowning episode last night, many political reporters have suggested the White House Correspondents' Dinner be replaced with a White House Correspondents' Brunch.
It’s one big inside joke paid for by all of us on the outside. Just watch NBCNews (on X) KKKristen Welker laughing up a storm with evil Stepehen Miller.
Still having trouble believing this “a grieving Trump” @nytimes.com headline was real Just unbelievable stuff
As an American, as someone who majored in communications, as someone who grew up believing journalism was one of the last sacred callings in a democracy… That shit made me fucking sick. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
