Very detailed article on the measles outbreak in West Texas. Loop ISD with only 143 students, has the highest school vaccine exemption rate in the state — 48% of its students have conscientious exemptions from required vaccinations. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/18/t...

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

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

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

“As far as Mr. Trump is concerned, Russia is not responsible for the war that has devastated its neighbor. Instead, he suggests that Ukraine is to blame for Russia’s invasion of it.” Like all the weakest bullies, Trump specializes in blaming the victim. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

The abrupt terminations of more than 1,000 employees, including new Epidemic Intelligence Officers, across CDC are deeply disturbing. For more than 70 years, EIS officers have served on America’s front line as its disease detectives, ready at a moment’s notice to respond to emerging outbreaks.

J.D. Vance must’ve thought he was scoring points by saying “Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," but of course controlling abuses of that power is exactly what Federal Judges must do — and what Judge Engelmayer did in this very case. search.app/hHJJWzMXS2f2...

Vance and Vermeule beg the question when they say federal judges can’t block legitimate acts of state : the point of having unelected judges is so that whether acts of state are ‘legitimate’ “can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.” www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

reporting that omits or downplays the perfect record of TRO's in stopping Musk-Trump is irresponsible and wrong. DO BETTER. enjoined: fork in road, treasury access, FBI name collection, birthright citizenship, spending freeze.

What? Who’s weeding? On what basis are the weeders picking weeds? Seriously concerning…I would think especially for women coz lots of us have lots of name changes which might be a filter. What else might be a filter to find weeds?

Let’s just pretend that our Republican friends will do the right thing and stop this intrusion by a private citizen into government data bases. Pretending is fun with these old-school nice guys.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the December 19, 1942 cover of The New Yorker, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions. Gas and tire rationing had begun that year. #bikesky

So even before being sworn in, Trump is caught lying about, and is called out by an actual leader, President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum. Trump is determined to make America a laughingstock around the world.

Let us be clear. A man adjudicated as a sexual abuser wants to put multiple men credibly accused of sexual assault/crimes (which they deny) in position of extreme importance. This movement has violence and deep misogyny at its core. This is deeply sick
