The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

History will remember this moment—not just for the corruption, the power grabs, and the billionaires looting our country, but for what the people did in response. Our nationwide movement of peaceful protest is growing every day, and we are just getting started. FiftyFifty.one

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

When Nixon's unconstitutional crimes were revealed in the early 1970s, a large portion of the public (including many Republicans) looked upon his actions with horror & disgust, like he'd violated a sacred trust. What Trump & Musk have done over the past 4 weeks is so far in excess of what Nixon did.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

Republican senators are traitors to the international order that has kept this country safe for the better part of eighty years. They are traitors to their own constituents. They are traitors to everything that has actually made America great.

Marcy makes a very nice point here. If Trump asserted that Special Counsel Jack Smith—who was in charge of just two cases against basically one person—was a principal officer who required Senate confirmation, then how could Co-President Musk—who’s remaking the entire government—be anything less?
