Donald Trump’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad First 100 Days has been both dangerous and disastrous for the American people, our country’s (& the world’s) economy, and the Constitution. Does this list sound familiar? It should, it’s in the book “Project 2025”! Speak up. Show up. Fight back!

You wouldn't know it from the front pages of NYT or the Post, but a stunning 3-to-5.2 million Americans took to the streets Saturday with a simple message: "No King" Congress passed the law that enabled a dictator, and Congress can stop the madness. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

I think Dems should not go to the Joint Session Congressional address next week. (Term of art for SOTUs given in first year of a term.) Just don't show up. Convince me that I'm wrong.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Democratic and anti-Trump PACs would be smart to have TV and social ads starting TOMORROW with videos of individuals attacking cops and “FREED BY TRUMP.” And every one that commits a crime, from domestic violence to DUI, should be its own ad from now to 2028.

There is no such thing as “off year elections” there are Odd and Even Years. There are also no days off when it comes to fighting for personal freedoms and Democracy. In PA we have consequential elections including the retention of 3 Supreme Court Justices. LFG!!! #PADems #VoteLocalPA

You should not be allowed to run for election or re-election to the House of Representatives or the Senate if you will turn 75 while in office, unless it is the final year of your term.
