Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

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

What a jerk

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Looking for links, substacks, podcasts to share with a reluctant maga. Can't trash the orange idiot, and not too emotional...a just the facts kind of thing. I'll share the more intense stuff later.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Leon/felon47 need to be told that reported fraud in the government was 1% to 2%. They are not going to find $2Trillon, $1Trillion, $500Billion… government fraud is not a big problem. Businessmen taxing companies for the government and infrastructure they use. That is a $1Trillion problem

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

This made me so angry I have to not actually say what it made me think.

Tell me again about those fiscal conservatives policies, why don't you www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

One of my favorite YouTubers clears up some of the lies around the California fire responses. He's almost always worth watching... Sit back with a cup of coffee and prepare for 20 minutes of learning. youtu.be/FsC-q8MLStw?...

As the GOP pushes their Tax Scam they plan to kill health care coverage for children and the poorest Americans. All so their billionaire donors can profit. Don't Cut My Medicaid.

The richest man on Earth is a narcissist and a ketamine addict who is inflicting his midlife crisis on the U.S. and the world. He's pathetic—and not remotely as smart as he desperately wants you to believe. Good luck watching these cringey highlights from his CPAC appearance. He is higher than a 🪁

FYI, Hakeem Jeffries just went on the number one podcast in the country, the @meidastouch.com podcast, and spoke about what Democrats are doing and what we have to do to fight the Trump Regime. None of the people attacking him bothered to watch.
