Democracy will not survive without strong independent media Trump and his allies are rapidly taking over our major news outlets.

Independent media once felt like a luxury. Specialized news subscriptions that provided in-depth information, opinion and analysis were costly and time-consuming. They were purely optional, even indulgent.

That is no longer the case. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.
