It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

I'm thrilled that a real hero is running for Congress! Harry Dunn, Capitol police officer, defended the elected representatives inside the Capitol on J/6. He stood up for our democracy, laws, and Constitution. I just donated to his campaign!

Commentary: Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to keep America safe. She's only looking out for herself Her appearance at an FBI raid on a Georgia election center had nothing to do with her job overseeing American intelligence and everything to do with worming her way into President Trump's good graces.

Tulsi Gabbard’s “national security” act is now just herself. Once a potential Democratic VP, she’s pivoted into Trump’s orbit—proof that her loyalty isn’t to the country, it’s to her own career. Flexibility? More like self-interest in a political costume. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Trump accused of ‘corruption, plain and simple’ after UAE invested in family firm White House says president is not involved in running his businesses. Ethics experts remain concerned

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.

And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

Persistent reports of ICE using drones, including this highly suspected ICE drone photographed being launched from a suburban park. It’s a HoverFly Spectre, a “tethered” surveillance drone flown over unspooling fiber-optic cables. I’d be curious if anyone knows a civilian use case

Trump Is Building a Federal Judiciary of Delusional, Cowardly Loyalists Judges have to decide cases based on facts. For Trump judges, the only facts that matter are the ones that he authorizes them to believe.

promises made promises kept

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

This industry is fucked. People tell you to go independent (there ain’t many other options atm) and speaking from experience, the independent route is difficult and labyrinthian to monetize. Detailed work that speaks truth to power often doesn’t get the views/interest of just rambling into a camera.

> ... Pritzker was named in a deposition filed under oath by Virginia Giuffre related to her being sexually trafficked through the Jeffrey Epstein network. She testified in the deposition that she once was sexually abused by Pritzker."

Another one of Trump's "terrific" guys.

And all the time we were told it was because of an extramarital affair, along with sharing classified material.

US billionaire Tom Pritzker wrote Epstein that he was "in a remote valley of Afghanistan" with "toys and boys" for his birthday. He reported that General Petraeus helped him, provided two helicopters and a US military escort. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverUP

Jeff Bezos Didn’t Save The Washington Post. He Surrendered It A billionaire who could have protected one of America’s great newspapers chose instead to protect himself — and let The Post burn in the process

If Thiel thinks he is going to getaway with trying to stop "poor people" (that will turn racist. You can bet your ass.) and women from voting, he might as well get ready to spend money on a military.

Ahh! Public relations of shooting people in their back and face. Kidnapping babies and using them as bait to get their parents. That type right?

Managed to get away to spend an hour at the protest in my hometown. When I was there there were maybe 100-150 people, which is not bad for a 20k person town, at 1 pm on a Friday, organized the day before. Saw lots of people I knew from church and the kids’ sports and school and the community.

Somewhat encouraging, but Minneapolis is still angry. Thousands are protesting, with echoing protests all over the country.

Epstein’s prison cell seen in new files release 1/30/26

Don Lemon Released Without Bail After Church Protest Arrest Don Lemon made his first court appearance in Los Angeles today -- staring down the fallout from his surprise federal arrest tied to a Minnesota church protest earlier this month.

Good for Don! Released on his own recognizant. Well done judge!

🚨PLEASE SHARE ‼️ Jayden Scott and unknown accomplices have found where I live and posted a video online outside of my door. I have my apartment management and local police involved. I will obviously have to move so the more people that are aware of this situation the better.

Let's speak plainly.

In a legitimate criminal cases, political appointees don't have to first hollow out U.S. Attorney offices of objecting career prosecutors with integrity; federal judges don't kill the cases at the cradle, and the government doesn't fight tooth and nail to revive them.

FBI now leading investigation into fatal shooting of Alex Pretti Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations branch had been leading the investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Trump’s right hand cannot be responsible for investigating his left hand. We need an independent, impartial investigation now.

Macaulay Culkin posted a tribute to Catherine O’Hara….I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥺🙏

Lawyer for Epstein Survivors: It's consistent with what we've been seeing from the Department of Justice for quite some time now. It's an incompetent coverup. They're trying to cover up documents, to withhold documents, to keep things from the public, but worse, they're not good at it.

They might as well have told Iran they want four dragon eggs, one unicorn horn, and the fourth whisker of an albino Chupacabra.

Every one of these is a non-starter for Iran and the administration knows it.

We’ve sent a metric shit ton of hardware to the Middle East in the last 48 hrs.

The most significant force posture changes aside from the carrier strike group:

- more Growlers (electronic warfare platform)
- Combat Search and Rescue aircraft
- multiple C-17 transport aircraft

We will get justice. Release all the files now.

People love being outside in August in downtown Washington, I see no potential problems at all.
