My open letter to Elon Musk.👇 Mr. Musk, You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

You’re watching the plot against America. The dismantling of your powerful military, the wasting of your tax money for billionaire welfare, the implosion of your health care, its anti-America. These people hate our great country and everything it stands for. Don’t sugar coat it!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

I’m locked in on this fight, no matter what these Republican clowns throw my way. This isn’t about me—it’s about us. We’ve been through too much, shoot, our grandparents went through too much to lay down now. I’m not going to see their sacrifice wasted. BRING IT!

People ask me, "Are you afraid of Trump?" Oh, fuck no, and you...shouldn't be either. Look, it's pretty clear to me that Donald Trump's wish to crush this country and strip its citizens of their rights will fail. 1/5

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

It wasn’t about egg prices, gas prices, or any of that. This was about destroying your great country and spitting on you to make themselves richer. It’s obvious. Tonight they’re gutting the military while they toast to the largest billionaire tax cuts in history. THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA!

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...
