Yep, here comes another U.S.-backed war. The neocons/neoliberals have been waiting to get this one going for years. www.newsweek.com/iran-nuclear...

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

The world’s biggest polluters? Not just oil companies—militaries. They burn forests, poison water, and unleash toxic clouds. Their carbon footprint is massive, but conveniently, they don’t have to report it.

Congo sits on $24 trillion in minerals, yet its people endure war, poverty, and mass displacement. Millions have died, and a new humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding. But hey, at least the world gets its smartphones and EV batteries.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.
