There are 72 Republican veterans currently serving in Congress. Maybe a couple of them could weigh in on this.

BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court won’t take action on Trump’s emergency petition over the firing Hampton Dellinger, head of a watchdog agency. Dellinger will remain in his role until at least Feb. 26 as litigation continues in a lower court. Order: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u... Background:

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

truthout.org/articles/bir... “They are absolutely gambling with the public’s health,” Elizabeth Jacobs, an epidemiologist at the University of Arizona…, told Truthout. “We’re at the roulette table and hoping that nothing blows up before we can get the infrastructure back in place.”

I said what I said.

Tennessee pastor, Rick Sentell, has been sentenced to 8 years in prison for possessing images of prepubescent children being raped. newschannel9.com/news/local/s...

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...

Floating the idea of them stupid ass checks from DOGE is literally a distraction while they keep ruining the country. "Here's 5000 bucks, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (wizard of oz reference)

www.reddit.com/r/law/commen... Blackmailing CA over fire aid. Blackmailing NY mayor. Threatening a governor and an another state. Intimidation and threats so that everyone submits to the kings will. And yet, GQP sits on their hands in submission to the 🍊💩. They are handing absolute power to him.

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.

This BETTER OUTRAGE EVERYONE DO YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL AND NECESSARY THESE VISITS ARE??? CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES 202 224-3121 THIS IS WRONG !!!

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Does Canada realize how many Americans were cheering them on to win? I don’t think a Canadian hockey team has ever had so many fans. 🏒🏒🏒🇨🇦

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

There you have it. #CONSTITUTIONALCRISIS: TRUMP DEFIES FEDERAL COURT ORDER 🚨 #legal The Trump administration just told a federal judge that it will NOT comply with a court order to resume funding for #USAID and #StateDepartment foreign assistance. #RESIST #Fascism

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Never forget.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.
