It is clear that Democrats are set to sweep control of Congress in free and fair elections. It is also clear that Trump and the GOP are working to make sure the elections are not free and fair. I founded Democracy Docket to help you stay informed to fight back. demdock.com/4w6emld

If you're in the UK, read the following and ask yourself: exactly how far away from this are we?
A tweet from Jason Bassler on February 19 2026, which reads:

"Let me get this straight:

-Trump greenlit a Palantir "master database"

-8 new "mega-detention centers" are being built

-CBP just bought access to Clearview's 60B-image facial ID system

-DHS is now demanding names of social media users critical of ICE

-ICE agents on our streets threatening to put people in a "domestic terrorist" database

And no one sees where this is going?"

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

The U.S. administration released the FY 2027 Budget Request this morning, proposing deep cuts to science funding once again. While there are similarities in the proposed cuts between FY26 and FY27, the final FY26 appropriations show the impact of advocacy in action.
The image is split into two sections. The left side features a quote on funding priorities by Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS CEO, with a small photo of the person below. The U.S. Capitol building is in the background. The right side shows a bar chart titled "Federal R&D FY26 + FY27 Appropriations in Billions." It compares requested and enacted funding amounts for NIH, NSF, DOE, and NASA in 2026 and 2027. Bars are color-coded to distinguish between 2026 requests, 2027 requests, and 2026 enacted law.
