I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure.

Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

ESPN NBA draft coverage is abysmal. Terrible camera work, weak commentary, no drama / suspense. Too much telegraphing picks. Small sofas. Terrible for the players/game/league.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance.

Nobody gave women anything.

Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Senate Republicans are spending their weekend lying about the SAVE Act and attacking the right to vote.

If you want to know where this bill came from, what is does and why the GOP is so desperate to pass it, read what I wrote. Then share it with others. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress - demonstrably - approve of everything he’s doing
We have to be clear on this.

He’s playing fast and loose - and without care - with American lives.

Four GOP Senators.

At most four Repubs in the House.

Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.
I can't repeat this enough.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

"An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from—not toward—a federal officer when he opened fire."

Great video analysis of Minneapolis shooting from NYT. These frames show drawing of gun and exact moment of first shot.
