In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Almost 250 years ago some brave people declared independence from a tyrant, King George III. Are we going to now lay down and obey #ConvictedFelonTrump who yesterday declared himself our King (google it)? Trampling on the sovereignty of NY? Time to rise up America.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

They're using fear to bully you into compliance. Fear of losing your job, your savings, your Medicare/medicaid, your rights, your freedom. They're using fear to bully our allies, to break our alliances and promises. What do they have to fear? Nothing so far. That needs to change.

Not only is everything Musk is saying bullshit, often, as in this case, stuff people with the most basic knowledge can spot, but there's more to it. He & his cronies have already defamed & libeled numerous civil servants, claiming among other things that they've broken the law, diverted public ...

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.
