The SAVE Act is a direct assault on the soul of American democracy—erecting impossible barriers that would silence millions of eligible voters, from working families to students and seniors, all in the name of fake “security.” Demand Congress votes NO!

Is this fiscal responsibility? "In modern history there has never been a single time in which a Congress controlled by Republicans chose not to do something it otherwise wanted to do because it would be too expensive or had to be financed by debt." open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

MAGA, didn’t you think things would be better by now? What happened to “day one”?

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M. Do you see how this works?

Trump’s Golden Era!

Trump mocked Gavin Newsom’s dyslexia while inadvertently referring to him as “President Newsom.”🤦🏽‍♂️ Can’t even make this up.

Such amazing planning...

Saying the quiet part out loud - "Hurting consumers is really the last of our concerns right now."

👏👏👏👏

Trump is interested in fraud as a device to attack safety net programs and immigrants. He is completely uninterested in reducing actual fraud and corruption. For example, he pardoned someone who had engaged in massive Medicare fraud, part of the cash-for-pardons industry Trump has created.

Read this description of the SAVE Act and SAVE America Act, then call your Senators and ask them to vote no. It's a solution in search of a problem that does not exist, and quite simply voter suppression. How the SAVE Act actually seeks to destroy open.substack.com/pub/brightam...

For 200 years, the White House has been a symbol of enduring democracy. To Donald Trump, it’s just another fixer-upper with a gold-leaf budget. Replacing Ionic columns with "Corinthian" isn't an upgrade, it's the desecration of our national heritage by a tenant who doesn't respect his lease.

Fascism

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Legacy media is not up to this moment. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket with its readers not private investors in mind. Now it has more than 400,000 free subscribers and 60,000 paying members. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Sign-up now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Wow. There really is no bottom. www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

While U.S. service members die in another forever war in the Middle East, Donald Trump’s “peace envoy” is raising money for his private equity firm.

And we wonder why he and Witkoff failed at negotiating with Iran. They were too busy doing personal business.

This makes me sick! Since opening in 1971, the Kennedy Center has stood as a living memorial to a beloved president who was a martyr for this country. Trump shamelessly added his name, and is turning it into one of his vanity projects. Congress won't stop him, maybe the courts will.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

😡 160 dead children due to his incompetence.

"No one gives a bleep about housing?" Is that how you feel?

He tells it like it is, 💯 true…

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

This Republican Congress had its chance to limit Trump’s reckless war. Instead, they chose to let him continue his bellicose and deranged assault that increasingly endangers the whole world. History will show their sycophantic failures are central to this broken era.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan. Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

🎯

These are not serious people.

Connect the dots

Presidents come and go. But a corrupt Senator will milk The People for over 30 years.

What a difference a few months made...

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

😢

Creating an oligarchy...
