Don’t forget that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could put a stop to all of this.

DOGE's next target should be the White House, not cancer researchers, food safety inspectors and air traffic controllers. Trump is plundering the taxpayers and draining the coffers of the people. That's monarchy, not democracy.

Ladies, do you know about the Equal Opportunity Credit Act? Since 1974, it has let you get a credit card, or a business loan, or a bank account, without the signature of a male relative. The regime wants to kill it and has taken the first boundary-testing step to do so. 🤬

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut. Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty. Call your reps.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability. The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many. If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.

We cannot abide a Democratic Party that continues to be weak and acquiescent in the face of this. Enough is enough.

The financial headlines are brutal right now. It’s almost like the experts are shocked that a six-times bankrupt reality TV show host was elected president and is running the United States economy straight into a ditch.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

J. D. Vance just made a horrible speach in Munich, endorsing fascism and the Germany's leader just said "fuck you" in a very diplomatic speech. Trump has chosen Russia over NATO. What an abandonment of everything our country stands for.
