Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

Trump is poised to beat Hitler’s record of flipping a foundering democracy into a dictatorship. Hitler needed 6 months. Trump wants quick confirmation by the Supreme Court that he has, not just immunity from prosecution, but imperium. Decision expected within days.

NM Rep Melanie Stansbury: Musk has installed the CEO of Citrix as the DOGE person at the Treasury Department while he’s actively head of a company that has millions of dollars in federal contracts. How is that even legal? Is it legal? I don’t think it’s legal! @repstansbury.bsky.social

Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel just disclosed holding $800,000 worth of stock in Trump Media & Technology Group. Reminder that Patel also has compiled an "enemies" list that is identical to Trump's. Does anyone actually believe he won't be a loyal cog in Trump's vengeance machine?
