In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Donald Trump has now backed the GOP House bill that would deliver $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich, while raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion and cutting $2 trillion from America’s middle class. I’m ready to fight to make sure this bill never passes.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I created Democracy Docket in 2020 to help keep you informed on the fight for democracy in court. Five years later, it continues to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. Support the work of its 19-person team: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

📢 Chicago showed up! Federal workers & allies rallied to defend public services—and the turnout was huge. Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ care belong to the people, not corporations. The fight continues. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices

The chart below was released by Musk to show recipients of Social Security who are over 100 yo. But I did the math! The people over 100 only equal 5% of the total. Of those, 99K are legitimate SS recipients. At least 1% are likely due to clerical errors. Does that seem like rampant fraud?

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Elon Musk wants to be the first trillionaire in the world. So he bought his way to our president to shortcut the procurement in billions of government contracts. Musk isn’t eliminating waste or corruption, he’s adding to it while awarding himself a King’s ransom. Please pls tell me you see this.
