I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.
Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

Why, when we had the chance, didn't we expand the SCOTUS to mute these traitors? Democratic leadership has failed the country. They should all resign in disgrace.
Wapo is obfuscating.
#PedoPOTUS
Democracy Docket's headline is clearer.
WAPO hardly has any writers left. Could be AI, who knows?
This puff piece praising white people was also hilarious. I love how the @wsj.com conveninetly left out the access to nepotism that these women have
Politicians and other prominent women on the right are juggling work and family on their own terms. They credit grit, religious faith, family support and a laser-like focus on priorities.
I 'trust' the Post, but they deliberately (and meekly) miss the point quite a bit these days. Have to read worldwide news sources now more than ever
Remember, the Washinton Post is not longer a reliable news source!
You can't say "rule of law" and SCOTUS in the same sentence without the word "not."
Washington Post is owned by Bezos… what do you expect out of a TYRANT TRUMP LICKSPITTLE?
WaPo has a mere 75k subscribers, down from 250k not long ago, and 500k peak.
6-3 we are doomed! #WorkStopShopStop Protests must happen!
Crooked, corrupt, criminal SCOTUS is disgraceful!😈
In recent times, it’s become clear that Wash Post is no longer the paper it was.Gone is the courage, integrity and directness that once characterized it. Gone is the confidence to speak truth to power.Thank you Marc Elias for all your efforts to protect the democracy and your heroic work.
We are at "scotus may rule on the law" in this shitty contry.
Only in AmeriKKKa
Hey minorities, there is nothing a white man can do for you in the situation. You need to fight for yourself either that or succumb to Trump and go lick his ass. Somethings got to give. This is incredible Hispanic people what the fuck is wrong with you
Don’t ever fucking trust the Washington post the New York post the Wall Street Journal basically all of the motherfuckers look at this is unbelievable
As always you and your team. Thank you 🙏🏻
Supremely corrupt Court has been bought and paid for by billionaires and responsible for bringing fascism to America. They are criminals
😡😡😡
You are? Ya know who owns it, don’t ya? 👀
And that is exhibit A as to why I canceled my subscription last year to WAPO.
SCOTUS has not ruled on the law in years now. They rule based on bribes and the whims of the orange menace - well at least the corrupt republican judges do. Again, the idea that a judiciary has a party affiliation is the biggest farce and is completely contrary to the spirit and purpose of a court
Wapo headline sounding like SCOTUS will uphold and strengthen.
Very misleading. 😡
The Washington Post is not reliable and factual news any longer.
What a crock of 💩
This Supreme Court has been bought and paid for
Not to mention how they all lied during their hearings.
Oh yeah, great group of people
The Washington Post has as much interest in Democracy as Bezos has hair.
Both are just bald bastions of bullshit.
Nothing more.
Well, when one source is desperate to portray itself as even-handed And the other is trying to portray the truth, I think I know which way I'm going.
So frustrating
Don't be too baffled by the Post. It's the "Bezos effect."
Well considering bezos is an evil super-villain, this tracks. I wouldn’t trust him to pick up my dog’s 💩
I know which one I trust!!
SCOTUS belongs in hell. With their ages, we may luck out.
What do you make of this?! it just came across my push notifications…. another distraction or serious?! How TF can they do this….seriously??
Authorities launch investigation into ex-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...
DD ANY DAY
They are sanitizing us straight into facism.
Wapo isn’t the same paper since Bezos’ head took over, of course. Every political headline as well as the reporting reads that it’s been sanitized these days.
Learn to recognize click-bait. Anyway, I agree that SCOTUS is an exercise in stupidity now.
Anyone who still relies on the Washington Post for actual news reporting is delusional.
I wouldn’t trust a recipe from the WaPo food section, let alone something important
"Baffled by the Washington Post," Mark?... Come on!.. It's Bezo's POS Propaganda Rag -- No longer a Respectable Newspaper!... Why do you think sooo many people have left it?!... Come on!
wapo belongs to the reich wing
Narrator: Marc was, in fact, not baffled.
Democracy docket
Not the Washington Post. Everyone knows it’s a propaganda news paper.
Washington post continues to lose credibility
When the WaPo refused to endorse a presidential candidate (Harris) in 2024 I canceled my long-time subscription. I don't believe anything from them anymore. Bezos is just another Trump suck-up.
Bezos has destroyed WAPO integrity
None of them since I lost my trust in News organizations because they're now controlled by billionaires so they can quash anything that threatens them and only report tabloid crap
"If you don't consider your main job to be stopping the existential crisis of fascism, you should get a new job and stop being a journalist".
Corrupt SCOTUS (Announcer voice) Brought to you by •Federalist Society •Leonard Leo •GOP •RNC •Koch Industries •Koch Networks •Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation •Mercer Family •The 85 Fund •Barre Seid (Tripp Lite $1.6B) - VIA Marble Freedom Trust / Leonard Leo
Special Friend •Sen Mitch McConnell
The press in a fascist regime is pro-fascism? Shocking, actually.
Wow, that’s alarming. Of course my source is definitely DD!
time for everty blue state to gerrymander every district and once we get control undo everything drumpf has done
1 billion times over, "Democracy Docket."
It’s used to be if compare LA Times and WaPo. Now WaPo on the other side of that. It’s super sad.
Mainstream media is pathetic. Independent journalists are the new 4th estate - collectively, they are the people's watchdog now.
Two supposed Supreme Court justices with connections to the insurrection against the United States of America, Thomas and Alito. Thomas's wife funded busloads of insurrectionists, Alito's wife flew the insurrection flag. We no longer have a Supreme Court.
I’m tired of this it’s time for blue states to ignore this joke of a Supreme Court , it’s clear that they are corrupt let’s stop pretending
Oh boy. I get WAPO for free. Which apparently is more than it is worth
DD, without question.
Capitulating to Trump killed any integrity WAPO had. Lots of options if you only want to be lied to, though.
And in these times, you don't think that is exactly what they are going to do? Gut it all?
Exactly.
Everyone should be asking:
Who owns Wa Po? Answer: Someone who wants lucrative gov contracts. "Democracy dies in darkness" is now its mission statement.
Who owns Democracy Docket? Not someone like that. People with an entirely different goal in mind. It's why democracy is in the name.
No offense, Marc, but I don't trust the Bezos' Bugle no matter what the headline says. I'm a happily paid subscriber to Democracy Docket.
I unsubscribed after Jeff Bezos took over. He is kissing the ring. I am on a full boycott of his companies.
I’ve always trusted anything Marc Elias is involved with…always will. Support Democracy Docket and bypass the BS.
Except for you…
Why in the world is everyone afraid of this fool?
It's funny how legacy media has been propagandized. And the way to get truth is by unraveling all the BS. Thank you for unraveling.
That is the Washington Post. A porcupine with few remaining quills. DemocracyDocket.com …
Democracy Docket is the leading digital news platform dedicated to information, analysis and opinion about voting rights and elections in the courts.
Americans need to shut that "court" down. We should have shut that criminal freak fest down years ago but it is never too late. The people are not going to follow a criminal court.
The GOP is going after all of the civil rights legislation of the 60s and Medicare and Medicaid.
Democracy docket for the win. WaPo calling minority voting rights "power" rather than "rights" disgusts me.
So what is the plan? To “restore” 3/5ths citizenship to non-white males? Attack the 19th Amendment? Reinstate poll taxes?
very worrisome.
John Roberts was hired by Ronnie Raygun to destroy the VRA. He lied about it when he was confirmed. He will be remembered in history as the CJ who destroyed the Supreme Court, turning it into a partisan tribunal dedicated to saving a fascist party and an Orange old man with dementia.
I keep asking what's going to happen next and I need to stop because it keeps getting worse and don't say how low can they go Geez l just did it again and you try to think that's it but it's not it and they do shit so unbelievable and absolutely crazy and making absolutely no sense at all sorry...
DD
That's good to hear. We need someone like you mad. I've been baffled by the sanitized reporting since 2016. For nearly ten years, reporters have shied away from saying "Trump lied today about..." when they have clear and obvious proof he lied.
After we beat the snot out of the shitheads in in Congress in 2026, we need to go scorched earth on SCOTUS. Expand it, pack it, roll back the bullshit, and NEVER let a mobster wanna be gang back in office again.
Yours, Marc. I trust yours.
How fucking DARE THEY REVOKE VOTING RIGHTS. THAT IS THE BRIDGE TOO FAR
John Roberts will go down in history as the Justice who has done the most significant damage to this country in history!
Does anyone read WaPo anymore?
No contest, Marc. DD every single time.
Cancel Wapo, Amazon, Amazon prime
I trust the one not owned by the elite and in service to Trump.
Scotus and Wapo? Wouldnt trust them to babysit my grandkids
Joke of a paper. I'd like my years of now-canceled subscriptions back
These are great skeets.
It's called "Jeff Bezos"
Example of why I cancelled my subscription over a year ago and am not going back.
Well, it's Bezos's WaPo now
Only Democracy Docket. Period.
Yes- WPO lets make it as confusing as possible- to keep from actually say the truth… 🤦♀️
Incredibly stupid headline. The story behind it is horrifying. We will be taking to the streets again.
what bezos wants bezos gets, or else.
That’s what courts are supposed to do. Currently, the MAGA majority doesn’t objectively rule on the law. The Opus Dei crowd is getting their marching orders from Leonard Leo. Our highest court is rivaling the likes of the highest courts of Russia & China. How far we have fallen.
The WaPo is worth approximately 1/2 a percent (0.5%) of Bezos's net worth.
When you've got these psychopaths by the wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
You’re a smart man, Mark. Not sure if I can believe you’re baffled by Jeff Bezos’ WaPo engaging in jaw dropping mendacity, so I’m going to guess you’re framing it that way for those who may need a nudge to figure out just how corrupt things are right now.
I’m not baffled anymore. It’s clear what their real goal is: appeasement.
the owner of the wp should be ashamed.
Precisely. I trust Democracy Docket
Call me a civics ignoramus, but if Congress passes a law, SCOTUS rules in favor of that law multiple times over 50 years how is that law now unconstitutional? Doesn’t scotus have to tell Congress WHAT is do unconstitutional about it all of a sudden? If not, it seems that we are ruled by 9 justice
#DemocracyDocket
Don’t be - owned by Bezos -> ally,bootlicker and friend of sex trafficking monster in the White House.
Well wapo is now crapo !
WaPo is gone. Bezos will do whatever it takes to keep those Amazon taxes non existent. The Post is just his latest sacrifice.
Baffled? Really? WaPo is trash and has been trash since Bezos bought it (Excepting the good folks at @capitalweather.bsky.social, of course)
WaPo is just a cut above OANN these days. Lo, how the mighty have fallen 😞👎🏾😞
Come on, Marc! "Baffled?" That's the best you can do.
You know what's going on.
Of course, NYT has been there with headlines for some time, with worst Sulzberger ever.
Like George Bush welcoming Trump in ranking, NYT welcomes corruption of WaPo.
Why be the worst?
WaPo is like Mr. Kurtz -- He dead.
Bezos owns WaPo. He's a Trump sycophant. No surprise.
It’s a dog whistle to the Supreme Court nothing more.
If they printed the Washington Post on extra soft paper I wouldn't trust my ass with it.
Sadly even the NYT is doing the same. It’s embarrassing
I pay no attention to the Easing Post because Bezos owns it. Don't trust anything of his...
Yes, because as John Roberts says there's no more racial discrimination in America anymore.
Democracy Docket
The Supreme court is part of the plot.
Bezos is attempting to prove he stands with Tru while trying not to lose all of his readership.
SCOTUS is ruling themselves in obsolescence! Authoritarians basically tell the judges it’s closing time and to turn off the lights on the way out.
WaPo is failed journalism written with an agenda.
I could write an essay on the myriad errors in this 1 WaPo blurb
Incoherence Meaninglessness Perspective mis-orientation Issue isolation from known facts—history, record, gerrymandering, the people, civil rights expectations,etc Mis-association of power to the targeted Culprit & initiation omission
That's what the 6 are paid to do...they know their job...
Another reason I cancelled my monthly subscription. Just not willing to pay for propaganda even I won't spend a cent on propaganda.
Glad I unsubscribed
What do you expect from The Trumpington Post.
I always trust Democracy Docket.
No contest. WaPo no mo’.
Never WaPo 'toilet paper'- Bezo's is a lying crook!
SCOTUS: “You can’t target minorities for good stuff!”
Also SCOTUS: “You can tooootally target minorities for bad stuff!”
Democracy Docket 100%
Right! Good reminder to cancel your Washington Post, NY Times, Amazon Prime and Paramount+ subscriptions. Stop funding the oligarchs and support independent people like Marc Elias.
shall these courts go off the rails again, it's time to observe US Constitution's 2nd Amendment A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State
TWP has been “sanitizing” stories for quite some time but it’s worse than ever now!
You shouldn't have to rule on any law. IT'S THE LAW! NO GERRYMANDERING IN BETWEEN. NO STEALING ELECTIONS. What happened to fairness everyone expects. The people need to vote for those who represent us. Not the other way around. Representatives can't choose us.
The plot thickens as Trump and his cronies have a chokehold on the SCOTUS, and as they skirt the law/rules, it is quite plain to see the obvious. 😏
SCOTUS is out of control.
The court has been engineered by the Heritage Foundation, so of course they'll do more gutting.
Who laws tho the real law or trump law ?
Dem Dockets
The Post is owned by a Trump Sychophant. Nothing baffling about it.
Tota Trump propaganda press.
Democracy Docket. Because I know that unlike the Washington Post, it’s not run by a Trump donor.
I don't think you are baffled.
Good post.
That's a big difference, WP very ambiguous.
You
Voting Act should have been the primary goal of democratic controlled legislature for last 20 years - IMHO
Bezos has sold us out.
Talking like it's not ending. Gaslighting.
I noticed that a lot of chain link fence has been recently erected around federal buildings throughout town in New Orleans.
Why read that shit?
#ItrustDemocracyDocket
Democracy Docket for the Win 🥇
Clarence Thomas signaled 2 years ago that he welcomed a chance to eliminate this. He and Roberts will slam dunk it in.
Of course the fascist white nationalist Republicans will have their Supreme Court rule in their favor. #RejectGOPBigotry #ResistGOPFearTactics #ResistGOPFascism #RestoreDemocracy

A 3.0-magnitude earthquake rattled parts of New Jersey and New York City on Saturday night. The earthquake
A no-brainer, but then, the WaPo turned into the Wha?Po as soon as Bald Buffoon Billionaire Bezos (B-4) took over.
= Need to ask Hegeseth for another B-4 Bomber. 😖
How can you be baffled? WaPo sold out over a year ago. Nothing of what once was remains. It’s a tabloid. It’s National Inquirer. Does Bat Boy baffle you?
How can SCOTUS do this?
This court is a total disaster. They've been chipping away at democracy and human rights for years doing everything in their power to force their extremist white Christian nationalist views on Americans.
I trust the democracy docket!
The republic might really be dead. The only way this ends is if the people do as the French did and put everyone on taco's side to death.
The Supreme Court is compromised.
Fuck wapo
All I can say is that if there was no problem there would be no law (Act). It exists for a reason.
While they are at it, why not just say only Republicans can vote.
the post definitely wont be winning any more pulitzers going forward
Democracy Docket’s by a mile …and WaPo used to be my “go to” for fact laden stories .
Democracy Docket all the way ✌🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸
This means their ruling will be about whether the law itself has merit, and we already know they don't believe any laws are legitimate.
Of course they're going to gut it entirely! This Court is anti Constitutional & un-American. Obviously I am not a lawyer, just an American citizen that uses her brain, eyes & ears.
I trust you guys more.
@washingtonpost.com does propaganda for Trump and the Republicans. I cancelled my subscription. Nothing about this once great newspaper can be trusted.
Maybe a Democratic president in 2029, with unitary powers, can strong arm douchebag Bezos into selling this now worthless rag. The journey from Paragon of journalistic integrity to something I wouldn't wipe my own ass with surely happened fast. Has the NY Times ever called a trump statement a lie?
This is why I canceled my WaPo subscription and bought one for Democracy Docket instead. Best money I ever spent.
B
Baffled? The WaPo is now fully bent to the will of a horrid, self-addled oligarch! They are now 100% on the side of fascism, obscenely pissing on their own honorable heritage of holding the powerful accountable. No decent person should even think of looking at their shit content anymore! Fuck Bezos!
This is a reason why we have to vote blue like our life is in peril!! The Supreme Court is compromised and corrupted branch of the government!
The Supreme Court is no longer considered fair. It’s trumps court
The Guardian is my first go-to. Sad to say
No point being baffled. Elected officials and those of influence who oppose, don't have to give oxygen to the WaPo or CBS if they don't want to. Decline giving them exclusive quotes or interviews or whatever. The landscape has changed. Find your audience and persuadable via 2025 outlets.
C'mon Marc! Baffled?!
You saw Beezos at the inauguration.
For the most part the Supreme Court is bought and paid for by Trump and the GOP who are scared shitless of fair and free elections. They might not win and actually have to work for a living-like their constituents.
Most evil, corrupt Court in US history. The Founders would NEVER have allowed this bullshit.
No comparison; I cancelled @washingtonpost.com after they didn’t endorse Kamala Harris. Why pay $ to hear biased news?
Keep up the pressure on WAPO
Exactly — calling it ‘ruling on the law’ totally buries the lede. The real story is the threat to voting rights.Sanitized language like that makes systemic rollbacks sound neutral. It’s not neutral — it’s deeply political.”Framing is the story.
Not the Post!!
