This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

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

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary just rescinded the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) extension for Haiti, putting 500,000 Haitians in the U.S. at risk of being sent back to conflict and crisis. It’s cruel, destabilizing, and dangerous. And no—it doesn’t lower costs for the American people.

A couple of Dem governors appear to be Trump curious/enablers, (or worse) but for now I'm trying to pay attention to the good ones. Rock stars before cheetolickers, I always say.

Investing in economic growth. Funding our schools. Improving the services working families and the vulnerable need. We cannot compromise on them, especially when we face the uncertainty of the federal government’s haphazard “ready, fire, aim” tactics toward everyday Americans.

Illinois looks very different in 2025 than it did in 2019. We've passed six balanced budgets with nine credit upgrades, invested in education, driven economic growth, strengthened our social safety network, reformed the criminal justice system, and rebuilt our infrastructure.
