Elon is fighting to pay $2K in child support for 3 kids, getting sued for custody by another mother of his child, is estranged from another daughter… And this is who the party of “family values” is turning the keys to the country over to?

You might’ve missed it, there’s a lot going on, but soon after cutting off funding for World Trade Center Healthcare Program, the administration reversed course because naturally there was more backlash than they could handle. The announcement of the reversal comes from a GOP state rep in NY. 1/2

This is the text of the bullshit email all federal government employees just received from the Office of Personnel Management (or are about to receive).

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

If you're looking for a word to describe Donald Trump & Elon Musk, the Germans are seven decades ahead of you.

Food for thought

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

"This is the kind of error from which a career is not supposed to recover. By the time I had lunch with Kevin Hassett in 2007, he should have been a laughingstock." Meet your director of the National Economic Council:

DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

Действительно, очень большие яички!!

The Ukrainians are very aware that giving up the nukes on their soil after the fall of the Soviet Union is why Russia was able to invade them. And so is every other non-nuclear country.

It is very loud in Kyiv this evening. Air defence is shooting down drones. The windows are shaking. You know, it really became worse after trump started his negotiations. As I wrote a few days ago, unpunished evil has been unleashed.

MISSING IN ACTION

This hits hard.

‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

There's less and less Russian armor showing up at the front these days, with Russians compensating by instead sending meat-hordes to absorb Ukrainian ammo. But the armor that Russians do have left.. My lord..

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

This is devastatingly cruel. Whatever happens to these individuals if transferred will be 100% Trump administration’s fault. www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

I’m terrified. But not afraid to fight. #resist

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

"While Florida insurers claimed to be losing money in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Michael, their parent companies and affiliates were making billions of dollars, according to a study obtained by the Herald/Times." And it appears that the DeSantis administration tried to keep it under wraps.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.
