www.politico.com/news/2025/02... ONCE, AGAIN, QUID PRO QUO.........

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...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

"The court kept the order in place while at the same time staying the Trump administration’s application in place — essentially punting on the issue." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

It’s a cult.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

⚠️⚠️ - President J. F. Kennedy's memory is BEING DEFILED & DEFAMED by FOTUS & The Felons‼️

@hcrichardson.bsky.social I have been locked out of your Facebook page for a couple of weeks. Do NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! Please respond? Thank you. (Not my username on Facebook.)

Trump has publicly denied being on Russia’s side since the infamous Trump Tower meeting on June 9th 2016 with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. They helped him get elected. He owed them a quid pro quo, as he does Musk now for this election. America falls into autocracy, all for one insecure man.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

I'd apply if I didn't already have a good gig. Seriously. This is a dream job.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

Have to get rid of non loyalists! Sounds familiar! When has this happened before?

Jared Moskowitz’s message for Elon Musk: I think the time for staying in safe spaces is over. Twitter—or X—is a safe space for him. You’ve got to get out of your safe spaces. Go talk to the American people—not just on Fox, not just next to the president, and not just on X. Come to Congress…

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

NEW: A blockbuster ruling in Wisconsin hands vote suppressors a big loss. A victory for voting rights! Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXur...

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.
