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

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Donald Trump is making sure his friends, from Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, are getting massive tax cuts. Instead of lowering prices for working families, his taxes will make life harder than ever. Here in Illinois, we're finding a way forward together to fight the challenges.

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.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

H/T Dr Eric Ding from x. COVID might have been kicked under the rug but we are so far from it being over. From ‘24. Topping the chart at the time was Oklahoma with 1 in 3 suffering long covid symptoms.

Guys it's been one hell of a day here at the good ole IRS. Need some time to process and to reach out to friends and family affected by the terminations this week. We don't know how many we lost or when this will end. Take care of yourselves, and be kind to the people hurting. We are all Americans.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

BREAKING: Senator Mitch McConnell announces that he will not seek reelection in 2026 — bringing an end to one of the single most destructive political careers in American history. He will be remembered for his cruelty and greed and for helping pave the wave for MAGA fascism. Good. Riddance.

Trump just ended a program that gave legal representation to unaccompanied children. Legal protections for kids. These children are now more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, because of Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Last night I hosted a community forum with nearly 1,000 constituents in attendance! It was great to discuss what we can do to come together and chart a path forward under the Trump administration. If you couldn’t make it, I look forward to seeing you at my next town hall!

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

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.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
