Schools should be safe for every student, regardless of their immigration status. Demand that your local school board takes a stand: indivisi.org/safe-schools

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

“Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.”

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

What the fuck does this even mean? They are just terrorizing millions of hard working Americans for sport. Trump and Musk are the most anti-worker public leaders America may have ever produced.

Update on the Measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u... There likely hundreds of cases, so many not being diagnosed. And many more to come. All preventable.

Since taking office, Trump has been trying to advance the unitary executive theory, a fringe legal theory that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Agree with this.

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

say it with me: voters hate this

“Freedom of speech for me and not for thee,” sounds like something a king would say. As many of us have noted this week, we don’t do kings in America. Some thoughts on the AP’s lawsuit: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

NEW: In a win for democracy, the U.S. Supreme Court paused an emergency request from Trump and allowed the head of the whistleblower agency to remain in office until a Feb. 26 hearing.

Helpful explanations here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

it's just dribs and drabs here and there. but a lot of stuff has hit the ag sector over the last few weeks mostly out of the media sight. ag labs with half their staffs fired, small but important markets selling commodities to USAID. various grants and contracts for woodland management.

Jon Ossoff warns GOP about Medicaid cuts: ‘Voters will be watching’ #gapol ajc.com/politics/pol...

NEW: The Associated Press is suing Trump Administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from events over the organization continuing to use the name 'Gulf of Mexico.' AP says the ban violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

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...

Shout it from the rooftops: Donald Trump wants to take away health care from kids, seniors, and vulnerable New Jerseyans to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Always stand up to a bully

how's the election working out, Georgia? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

In Roswell, Georgia, an overflow crowd packed into a town hall forum for GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, barraging him with pointed questions about DOGE. One accused McCormick of 'doing us a disservice' for supporting DOGE. This is a district Trump just carried by 22 points. www.ajc.com/politics/mcc...

Oh

W/ Kash Patel's confirmation, he now has the power to weaponize the FBI against his so-called "enemies" Weaponizing law enforcement is a tactic used by autocrats around the globe—but Americans can push back We discuss how👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

Want to know why Trump's approval rating has already taken a huge hit? Consumers understand his policies are re-igniting inflation and weakening the economy. From the new U of Mich consumer survey:

A Virginia court will hear a lawsuit today seeking to block DOGE's access to sensitive Treasury Department data. Plaintiffs say DOGE has "exceeded the scope of their legal authority[.]" Read the lawsuit: https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/12025-02-10-Complaint-2.pdf

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump admin has not fully complied with his court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali: "To the extent Defendants have continued the blanket suspension, they are ordered to immediately cease it."

There’s something happening in this country.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Will this matter to Trump who can’t run again (that is, if the Constitution survives)?

They are gutting services you depend on to fund Elon’s next round of tax cuts and government contracts

Trickle up economics.

How is DOGE Like a Beirut Bank Heist? "This is terrifying enough... No one knows what DOGE has been doing with this unprecedented level of data access." open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

"Elon Musk is the undisputed champion of making money for Elon Musk. As effectively the CEO of the United States of America? Very bad. Embarrassing, honestly..." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

I specialize in representing Democratic campaigns because I believe in the party. I litigate voting rights cases because the right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. I speak out about free and fair elections because they are under threat. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

The work of @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social is key to understanding the voucher issue:

More of this.

Oops @meidastouch.com

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.
