We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

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

Trump: "If you don't report to work -- you know, that's another scam. If I'm staying home, my golf handicap would get down to a very low number. You'd be shocked if I told you the real number. But I'd be so good."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

When making our calls and writing our emails, let’s remember that CHEERS (🥳) are just as important as JEERS (😒)! Taking a stand is hard right now and Governor Mills did so to Trump’s face! He didn’t like it and immediately threatened her future in politics. Let her know we have her back!
