Imagine what this woman and her family went through. All for what?

I wonder what the odds are that hundreds of additional Ukrainian “Trojan Horse” drones remain hidden in trucks across Russia, just waiting to be launched at additional targets over the coming days. Best of all — there’s very little Putin can do to prevent it!

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

A month ago I wrote that some clients might not want to hire law firms that are too afraid to stand up for themselves against Donald Trump. Looks like I was right. Get my exclusive content by becoming a Democracy Docket premium member now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Wait until MAGA gets their tiny brains around what Ukraine did today to Russia. 🤣🤣🤣 newrepublic.com/article/1958...

BREAKING: Ukraine just dropped a warhead on Moscow’s ego. A missile facility—smoked. Russia wanted escalation? They just got humbled. No one is safe. Not even the monsters who built this war.

The Ukrainians deserve to win. And they will.

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

at what point can we all admit we have jumped the shark

Really eye-popping reporting from @wsj.com — the law firms that bent the knee lost the trust of clients, partners, and associates, often fleeing to firms that stood up for themselves. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns. Hypocrite Ted has no shame and no conscience. He just toes the line for his owners. And by owners, I am not referring to his constituents.

BREAKING: Ron DeSantis is using Florida cops to run silent raids across the U.S.—and making them HIDE THEIR NAMES while doing it. Not in Florida? Doesn’t matter. This is what fascism looks like in practice. And it’s wearing a state trooper uniform with no nameplate.

Apparently bull semen shooters are the new health cure fad in DC. (This is a joke… or is it.)

Pluto never gave up:)

Apparently the new nickname for White House Designated Liar Karoline Leavitt is 'TACO Belle.’

New are signs up in my home state to encourage tourism...🤭😅🤣

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

“Well, we’re all going to die,” she said hopefully.

That sounds about right. We probably shouldn't give TOTUS any ideas. #USDemocracy

By the way: Is it true the key to tech success has been to “move fast and break things?” My sense is that’s not the way Google et al work; rather, they spend lots on R&D and are persistent in the face of setbacks. And successful start ups I know today are nimble and adaptive—but not reckless.
