Daily Dose of Democracy:
Tucker Carlson begs Biden to stop Trump indictment "for the sake of the country"
For the good of the country! For our grandchildren, for gosh sakes, in the name of all that is holy! Rule of law MUST be ignored! The comically disingenuous plea for President Biden to somehow intervene in a state-level criminal proceeding and save Trump — which he cannot do, for the record — is beyond parody.
Take Action: Tell the Special Counsel to indict Donald Trump!
VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump’s call for protests backfires in humiliating fashion
The MAGA cult might finally be on life support if the results of Trump's recent call for protests against his looming indictment are any indication. Barely anyone showed up.
Take Action: Tell Congress to protect the 80,000 Afghan refugees!

Special counsel claims Trump deliberately misled his attorneys about classified documents
Prosecutors in Special Counsel Jack Smith's office have presented compelling preliminary evidence that Trump knowingly and deliberately misled his own attorneys about his retention of classified materials after leaving office — and attorney-client privileges may now be voided.
Take Action: Tell President Biden to free Native activist Leonard Peltier!
Judge rejects Trump's request to delay New York AG's civil trial
Legal troubles are gathering over Trump Tower like a storm. On top of the fact that Donnie appears to be on the verge of an indictment for his hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, his desperate attempt to postpone New York Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million civil fraud lawsuit against him has now been rejected.
Take Action: Tell Congress to cut the Pentagon's budget and help the people!
California city pays $750,000 after cops accused of painting swastika on man’s car
Once again, we see taxpayers left holding the bag for detestable "peace officers" who apparently just can't resist the urge to be horrifyingly racist. Here's an idea: let's start making cops pay for settlements out of pocket. If there's a chance that they might lose their savings, pension, or house for engaging in some casual Nazism, they might actually think twice about doing it.
Take Action: Remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees!
Oklahoma Supreme Court finds "limited right" to abortion in state constitution
Oklahoma's top court ruled that the state constitution includes "an inherent right of a pregnant woman to terminate a pregnancy when necessary to save her life." While this is a welcome development, it doesn't go nearly far enough. A life-threatening medical condition should NOT be a prerequisite for securing abortion care in a modern, secular society.
Republicans make fatal mistake amid impending Trump indictment
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: What a dumb move...
🚨 Brian Tyler Cohen launched a Spanish YouTube channel! The left has a huge problem reaching Spanish speaking audiences, and our vote share among Spanish speakers is actually declining, so please spread the Democrats' message by subscribing to his channel (and watch some videos to get them going in the algorithm) by clicking here.
Pistol used in deadly kidnapping of Americans in Mexican border city was purchased in the US
Because of course it was. The utterly psychopathic American firearm manufacturing industry is one of the leading causes of widespread cartel violence we see unfolding south of the border. Not only does the United States fuel the drug war by outlawing narcotics while doing nothing to mitigate the demand for such products — creating a scenario in which criminals naturally band together to begin catering to demand — but it also supplies an endless stream of military-grade weapons to ensure that that very same War on Drugs is as violent as possible.
Tennessee’s gay-thirst-trap-loving lt. gov. survives no-confidence vote
Randy McNally was slammed with accusations of hypocrisy after he was caught publicly lusting after a gay online social media figure despite cruasding for anti-LGBTQ policies in office. But his fellow conservatives have declined to remove him from his leadership position. Hypocrisy is not only allowed within the GOP, it's apparently encouraged. As long as you support ongoing efforts to loot this country for all it has on behalf of the super rich, Republicans don't seem to care one iota about your personal behavior.
Communications between Stormy Daniels and Trump attorney turned over to Manhattan DA
The exchanges — said to date back to 2018, when Daniels was seeking representation — raise the real possibility that Trump attorney Joe Tacopina could be sidelined from his defense of the disgraced ex-president's imminent hush-money criminal case in New York. In MAGA world these days, things just keep getting worse.
Arkansas restricts school bathroom use by transgender people
The GOP's war against LGBTQ Americans — and, specifically, the conservative obsession with other people's genitalia and bathroom practices — is starting to reach a fever pitch. The time to stand up against this appalling bigotry is now.

Today’s Action: Pass the PRO Act and protect the right to unionize!
The National Labor Relation Board’s Seattle office filed a complaint against Starbucks last year for violating US labor law with extreme union-busting tactics, such as withholding benefits and pay raises from unionizing stores. And just last month corporate employees of the coffee giant sent an open letter fighting back against the store’s continued reaction to union efforts. We can’t allow workers to continue fighting these greedy corporations on their own — it’s time for our legislators to step up and protect the right to unionize.
Starbucks is far from the only guilty corporation. In the face of worker power, corrupt bigwigs are working overtime to ensure their employees aren’t compensated properly for their work. There’s strength in numbers, and the labor movement certainly has that, but if certain senators don’t stop holding up the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to provide more equitable conditions for all workers, the fallout across the American workforce will only worsen.
The fact is, when unions thrive, American workers and families thrive. It’s really that simple. Corporate America’s desperate efforts to get everyone back to work has reminded workers everywhere they’re worth more than low pay, low benefits, long hours, and emotional abuse from unappreciative bosses.
Call (202-224-3121) or write your senators and ask them to support the PRO Act in solidarity with the growing labor movement across the country! Send them this petition with almost 40,000 signatures in favor of its passage!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to kick Fox News off the air for inciting violence against the government, and be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
