Early in his address, Trump declared he had restored free speech but more than an hour later he boasted that he banned woke and DEI. Both can't be true at the same time.

What's the reason Social Security is 'running out of money?' As economics professor @stephaniekelton.bsky.social writes, the answer may surprise you. www.dcreport.org/2025/03/03/e...

Guess who's to blame for Social Security not being secure forever? At DCReport one of the most insightful economists in the world explains the culprit (and his pals) are probably not who you imagine: www.dcreport.org/2025/03/03/e...

In our winner-take-all electoral system, the two-party grudge match has swallowed checks and balances that are crucial to our democracy surviving. This week's briefing covers what healthy party competition looks like: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/three-stor...

Feeling there's nothing you can do about the lawless Musk-Trump administration? Please read my DCReport column about a lethally dangerous decision. Our Action Box shows how YOU can save lives. Our readers have made a difference before & can again. PLEASE act. www.dcreport.org/2025/02/27/d...

This would be “not unusual” if it was 1925. In reality, by “not unusual” RFK Jr actually means “very unusual”. The US has not seen a death from measles since 2015.

For 8 years, one of the best places to learn what Trump is up to has been, and still is, DCReport.org. We broke story after story about Trump skullduggery, published Dr. Bandy Lee, when no one else would, & alerted readers to what DC journalists ignore. Please bookmark & support ad-free DCR.

Donald tonight took the last key step needed to become our dictator. As someone who has known and closely covered him for 36 years, I've been warning about his dictatorial aims for almost 10 years. Please read my post at Facebook.com/davidcay

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.

"Behind the seemingly scatter-shot opening acts of his second administration, legal analysts see a common goal: to test a once-fringe legal theory which asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch." --Jacob Knutson

I specialize in representing Democratic campaigns because I believe in the party. I litigate voting rights cases because the right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. I speak out about free and fair elections because they are under threat. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

Smart political art. For those who don't get it, think about Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989.

Some of the best words of advice I’ve seen to help make sense of where we are…

🚨 Let’s get 500 reposts to make sure people see this new ad from Protect Our Care calling out House Republicans’ plans to cut Medicaid:

"Courage breeds creative self‐affirmation; cowardice breeds destructive self-abnegation. Courage faces fear and thereby masters it; cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it. So we must constantly build dykes of courage to ward off the flood of fear." -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump's win exposes some uncomfortable truths about the America we live in, and the chasm between that and the America we thought we lived in. Thank you to Aaron Hughey EdD people.wku.edu/aaron.hughey/ for authoring one of the best post-election assessments I’ve read so far.
