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

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

México, Canada and the EU are in talks to set up a free trade agreement that excludes the U.S. GOOD! We deserve to be excluded. Too many Americans voted out of bigotry and stupidity, and because of that America is now run by disgusting tyrant who is unfit to be a global leader.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Trump's entire life has been based on lying. Or as Kellyanne Conway says: "alternative facts". And his entire administration is packed with liars . He "weaves" so much and posts so much that the lies come too quickly to keep up with. A talent of dictators and authoritarian leaders. .

The Eric Adams criminal case raises significant concerns about the independence of the Justice Department and the role of political influence in prosecutions. 💡 The key question: Was there an improper quid pro quo—and if so, will the Court do anything about it?

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Hate to break it to you, Senator, but Trump is not Neville Chamberlain. As misguided and naive as Chamberlain was, he was at least acting in good faith and in what he believed was the cause of peace. Trump is Joachim von Ribbentrop—or worse.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

A drug addict who makes cars that spontaneously explode, plows into cops, and crash at much higher rates than other cars, is going to fix the air traffic control system? I'm not getting on a plane until this drug-addled illegal immigrant is deported or imprisoned.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us.
