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

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... This was a good episode and it’s important but the question to me is what can the DNC do right now to protect our democracy? They have to talk some sense into only three Republican members of the House of Representatives. The message here isn’t good enough.

Here comes the actual MAGA legislation, the oligarch enriching theft of America's shared wealth to enrich the few. The policies they hide and distort on FOX, Newsmax and right wing propaganda podcasts.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

Musk’s wealth and extremism can insulate him from caring about the consequences of his actions but his holdings also offer an attack surface. Protests, picketing and guerrilla art like projecting “Heil Tesla” on the German gigafactory can turn Tesla’s brand toxic and expose him to huge losses.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

If the Democratic party had a shadow government they could say things like, “Hey billionaires, that tax cut you’re getting right now…yeah we’re going to claw that back.”

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
