We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

LOCK HIM UP

Does anyone know if the assets of an IRA can be held in a foreign (preferably Swiss) bank account? Asking for no particular reason.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Trump has now attacked Ukraine and Zelensky saying that Zelensky is a dictator and that it is Ukraine's fault the war started. Trump has sent his fake delegation to Saudi Arabia to listen to the Russia and agree to all of their demands. youtu.be/vCnklxASVQ4

to no one's surprise.

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Totally normal and acceptable stuff from non-racist conservatives:

"In less than a month’s time, Rubio has presided over America’s willing abdication as leader of the free world. It’s a shameful legacy that cuts against everything he once proclaimed to stand for."

Elon Musk recently posted that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asks if we suffered childhood trauma and suggests we are suffering from “generational trauma.” Tomorrow, Democracy Docket will publish my response. Sign up now to receive. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

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."

“I can’t join protests” or “I don’t know what to do” are common refrains. Yet, resistance thrives in the everyday: sharing uncensored news, supporting local businesses, rejecting injustice in conversation, aiding neighbors, preserving culture, documenting abuses. Small acts sustain defiance.

This is Washington, D.C.
