"The impotence of the private individual...is deplorable indeed. But every American has a voice or a pen, and may use it. So, impelled by my own sense of duty, I write these present words. One by one we shall creep from cover, and the opposition will organize itself." - William James, 1899.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

🚨 BREAKING: Ohio broke the law, illegally depriving 300,000 Ohioans of thousands of dollars (each) in federal unemployment benefits. $900M total. The dollars are still available. In a federal account. But Musk will no doubt be eyeing the funds for billionaire tax cuts. 1/

It’s difficult to overstate how much Trump is shredding the US’s standing in the world. James O’Brien/LBC is one of the most popular, independent broadcasters in the UK. “Trump is lying on a scale that is almost impossible to compute…peddling Kremlin, pro-Putin propaganda. It’s extraordinary.”

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If last year you described the daily actions and proclamations that Trump has made this year as a prediction, the entire pundit universe would accuse you of being hysterical and having Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The year is 2025: We’re selling loose eggs for a dollar, planes are falling out of the sky, the President is selling crypto, and we’ve fired the people in charge of the nuclear weapons via email.

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

This is fucking fire but also, amazingly, the judge is doing her damned best to establishing on the record that they don’t have a rational basis for their actions.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Did Elon's pimple popping incel posse create a backdoor in the Treasury payment system for their criminal hacker friends to get in, or did they directly compromise these accounts themselves? I want every Democrat asking that question in every interview every day.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

The biggest story in the country right now is how many lawsuits DOJ is losing trying to defend Musk and Trump. I've never seen so many courts, so clearly outraged at the federal government. The latest one, blocks cuts at HHS and FDA. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed.
