ICYMI: my piece on how Trump's move to take control of the independent federal agencies (SEC, FTC, FCC, etc.) is premised on the Supreme Court's willingness to throw out a century or so of law, which it hasn't yet done. "Break the law and see if the courts stop me" is a whole strategy for him.

The truth is Zelenskiy and Ukraine have put up a resistance that no one thought was possible. Trump wants to “settle this war” by giving Putin what he wants. Could this be clearer?

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

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...

Really interesting @thebulwark.bsky.social interview with Chuck Todd. The AP drama has started to separate the reporters who want to cover power seriously from the throne-sniffers who want to get maximum annual use out of their formal wear. youtu.be/3OphRe1J3Ok?...

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Literally begging people to read @radiofreetom.bsky.social I. @theatlantic.com today (I’ve gifted the link to you) because facts matter, history matters, expertise - expertise like his - MATTERS, IT COUNTS, IT IS CRUCIAL, OH MY GOD: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

It’s past time for Americans to understand the significance of the 14th Amendment and Trump’s role in the century long effort to dismantle it.

Trump went to the South this weekend. Not to visit flood victims in Kentucky, but to have his security drive him around a race track. He doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs. He’s on a vanity tour for the next four years.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy hit back at President Trump's accusation that Ukraine started its war with Russia, saying that the American president is trapped in a “disinformation bubble” and adding that his country was not for sale.

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration? I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each. I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

I’m so old I remember when Republicans in MO were fighting the REAL ID program cause they didnt want the feds to get their info. Now? Sure King Elon, take all our personal data from IRS and Social Security.

"If the tried-and-true journalistic practices of yesterday — politely presenting 'both sides', as if autocracy and democracy are roughly equivalent — are not getting the job done, then change them." @sulliview.bsky.social margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/four-essen...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

"If you voted for Donald Trump, this is what you were voting for." Watch: youtu.be/ujsQ3bp9-4I

The top 1 percent of income has grown nearly 5 times (4.47 times) more than the middle 60 percent of Americans since the 1970s. Massive income inequality hurts ordinary Americans.

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

The past few weeks have been a master class in myth-busting, starting with the fantasy that the government should be run like a business and the corollary delusion that winning candidates don’t follow through on their agendas. My latest at @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/seven-myth...

NEW VIDEO: A new blockbuster lawsuit by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro may be part of the key to unlock trillions of dollars of funds being unlawfully held by the Trump administration. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa6t...

Good

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Beyond fucked up!

A foreign service worker whose pregnant wife was denied emergency medical transport while stationed abroad has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging its “rushed, haphazard and cruel” push to shut down the agency has placed the mother and unborn daughter at risk.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Trump & Musk have somehow managed to frame recent events as a binary: Either you want to burn it all down, or you support the status quo It’s a false choice, obviously. But Dems/Trump critics have done a poor job articulating that failure in logic and existence of option #3: actually fix things

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

No one in Republican world seems to have a lot of curiosity about why Musk needs people’s personal data to engage in government cost cutting

Speaking of Elon ... here's tax info for him and Tesla.

"The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration left her job this weekend after a clash with billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service over its attempts to access sensitive government records..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

WASHPOST: Records show how DOGE planned Trump’s DEI purge — and who gets fired next. (Some very important reporting here that details the internal, written DOGE plan) www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The family values party, everyone

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

It is important to celebrate the wins when we get them.🥳 President Donald Trump’s administration halted defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after Democracy Forward, on behalf of the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit, filed a lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Donald Trump is a criminal sociopath, they don’t want to obey laws and don’t think the rules apply to them” @gtconway.bsky.social on the Trump administration’s plans to ignore court rulings.
