Kick Fox News off the air for glorifying Trump's insurrection!

Daily Dose of Democracy:

Rupert Murdoch steps down as chairman of Fox and News Corp
The diabolical mastermind behind the Fox News white supremacist propaganda network and a vicious, deranged British tabloid empire is finally stepping away, abdicating the throne to his son, Lachlan. It remains to be seen whether this produces any moderation in the extremist content regularly promoted by the network...or if things are about to get a whole lot worse. [RETWEET THAT!]

Extremist politicians are passing a new era of Jim Crow laws
Southern Poverty Law Center: Black people's voting rights are under siege in the Deep South as a wave of undemocratic and deeply racist laws seek to drag America back to the bad old days. The Southern Poverty Law Center is at the forefront of the legal battles to protect the rights of EVERY American to vote, but they need your help. Will you chip in to help them face injustice and fight back against the racist systems that continue harming our communities?

House Republicans clash with Attorney General Merrick Garland, accusing him of favoring Hunter Biden
Jim Jordan and his rogue's gallery of goons dragged the attorney general before the House Judiciary Committee in order to accuse him of *checks notes* giving special treatment to the man that the DOJ literally just indicted on a felony gun possession charge. Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Take Action: Impose ethics standards on the Supreme Court!

Texas teacher fired for showing Anne Frank graphic novel to eighth-graders
Pearl-clutching prudes in southeastern Texas got a teacher FIRED for assigning "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank to eighth graders because there is a section of the novel in which Frank wanted to see a female friend’s breasts — famously a sentiment which no eighth grader has ever shared. Far from "protecting kids from groomers," as the GOP likes to say they are doing, this deeply repressive attitude that demands the censorship of all discussion of sexuality deliberately leaves children less educated and vulnerable to exploitation by conservative adults who don't like their child brides to ask too many questions.

Take Action: Tell Democrats to keep fighting for abortion rights!

Ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson claims Rudy Giuliani groped her on January 6
A new memoir by key January 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson accuses the lecherous gargoyle Giuliani of putting his hand in her blazer and up her skirt on January 6, right after the rally that incited the attack on the US Capitol. Given the details from the other sexual assault accusations leveled against Rudy by another former aide, it seems extremely plausible that the apparently perpetually wasted cretin was routinely grabbing women left and right, just like his boss bragged about doing. Rudy Giuliani has been a villainous scumbag for his entire career, but the depths of his depravity — and the pathetic lows to which he's fallen — are truly remarkable to behold. [RETWEET THAT!]

Democrats score big in special elections
In what we all dearly hope is a great sign for 2024, Democrats won big this week in special elections, reclaiming the Pennsylvania state House and inching one seat away from wresting control of the New Hampshire state House from Republicans after a stunning, 18-point overperformance by newly elected Hal Rafter. It's reason for cautious optimism...and motivation to work for that kind of winning margin in every county across the nation!

McCarthy overlooks FATAL FLAW in his impeachment inquiry against Biden
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: Big mistake.

Biden launches US "climate corps"
In a huge win for climate activists and the environment, President Biden used an executive order to create the "Climate Corps," a job-training program that will seek to help 20,000 young people gain jobs in conservation and clean energy. Republicans forced him to cut a similar program from the Inflation Reduction Act, but the president found a way to get it done anyway!

Fake Trump electors case should stay in Fulton County court, prosecutors argue
Prosecutors shot down the demands of Trump's fake electors to transfer their cases to federal court by declaring that “these private parties did not transform into public officials by committing a crime.” Hard to argue with that!

Project Veritas suspends all operations indefinitely
At long last, the right-wing muckraking operation that spread countless heinous lies and heavily doctored videos has finally collapsed in on itself, burdened by a series of deeply embarassing scandals and extremely poor management. Good riddance!

"Damning" probe finds 80% of top carbon offset schemes are "likely junk or worthless"
A major investigation has determined that the "carbon offset schemes" that the free market concocted to allow itself to keep polluting without having to make any major changes to their operations are nothing more than hot air. There's a reason rehab centers don't let addicts write their own treatment plans!
