The web page’s release on the anniversary of the attack showcases the Trump administration’s long-running effort to erase or revise the history of Jan. 6. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“There is an active effort to politicise the armed forces,” Senior VoteVets Advisor Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton (Ret) said. “Once you infect the body, the cure may be very difficult and painful for presidents downstream.”

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Republicans are dead set on gutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Let's set it plain. Republicans are not in Congress to serve you. They aren't in Congress to serve working families. Republicans are in Congress to serve themselves, and the billionaires who pay them.

"I couldn't help but wonder how Elon Musk thought promoting Neo-Nazis and white supremacy would be good for Tesla, a company that sold mostly to liberals. I mean, you go full-on fascist, and just like that, liberals no longer want to give you money. Was this just something else he could Nazi?"

Nothing in my lifetime prepared me for this. Or for wanting to watching this over-and-over again

Jesse Eisinger: "I think that Donald Trump is a direct result of our elite impunity failure and our failure to prosecute white collar crime ... if we had adequate white collar prosecutions in this country, there could not be the phrase 'President Donald Trump'"

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...

But Trump promised to balance the budget…

Stalin used the pact to buy time to build up the Soviet military. Hitler used the pact to invade Poland without opposition. Rubio can fuck off.

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

"We filed a lawsuit the first day of this admin against DOGE bc of the harmful influence it was already having, & we have filed a number of other suits to seek to protect the American people & their privacy." - @skyeperryman.bsky.social, President & CEO of @democracyforward.org on @msnbc.com today.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

If they ever invent time travel, I think we need to pass a law requiring everyone to spend one full year in an era before vaccines and environmental regulations. You survive that year, you get to come back to the present, and you'll never vote against public health measures ever again.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

"America is not a software company. And letting a thin-skinned, Ketamine-fueled, video-game cheating, Nazi apologist billionaire take over the machinery of the United States is not something that anyone voted for." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk was not elected to hold Office DOGE is not a Federal Task Force Trump is not a King Keep reposting this

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

NEW: Kash Patel was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-linked filmmaker to promote anti-western propaganda. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Through intimidation, liquidation, and the illegal assumption of authority, they are trying to rewrite how the government (and our society) works and assume a centralized position of power. That is a coup. An administrative coup. We need people to start using this language.

“Ignore the media headlines reporting that these moves ‘raise questions’ or ‘push the boundary.’ It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.” www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

THAT’S MY REP! “Goddammit, shut down the Senate! We are at war!”

Elon Musk is committing a lot of felonies. He belongs in jail, and so do his criminal associates. He may not comprehend that. And if and when he does it may make him more reckless. No assumptions about where we go from here.

So just so we’re clear, Trump’s international plans now include invading Denmark and Panama and possibly Mexico, economically forcing Canada to be the 51st state, and a permanent occupation of Gaza with ethnic cleansing. All while Elon loots the Treasury and puts it on the blockchain.

Trump basically seems like a late 90s Boris Yeltsin: Out of it, enriching himself and his family as much as he can, and letting the broligarchy run roughshod over the government

We are living through a second authoritarian coup because the leaders of the first one were never prosecuted

www.reuters.com/world/us/mus... Why are we doing this!?

@schumer.senate.gov and @schatz.bsky.social have the ability to make this happen now: a media frenzy. They can do it by blaming Trump and Hegseth. On TV. And social media. Aggressively. With anger and direct blaming.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court BLOCKS Trump OMB order purporting to freeze federal spending. Stay will be in place until court can consider case at hearing next Monday. Follow @democracydocket.com for more. www.democracydocket.com

One of America's two major political parties seems to have embraced the position that the founders of this country really secretly intended to create a monarchy just like the one they fought to overthrow and that all this democracy talk these past 250 years was just woke political propaganda.

Freezing government functioning. Consolidating power. Removing people who might stop you. Illegal power grabs. I'm just a regular Puerto Rican, but this sounds like a coup. If I saw this in another country that's probably what I would call it.

Here’s the money line in the acting AG’s letter firing the prosecutors who worked on the Trump case. Leadership does not trust you in “implementing the president’s agenda.” DOJ supports and defends the Constitution, not the president’s agenda.

Trump attorneys’ call into question U.S. citizenship for Native people. They state because Indians “owe ‘immediate allegiance’ to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

POTUS signed P2025-like orders yesterday to politicize the federal civil service, threatening its ability to protect, inform, & serve. We proudly announce former senior OPM staff Rob Shriver & Kyleigh Russ join us to strengthen efforts to protect its independence/non-partisanship. bit.ly/dfstatement

Trump began signing Exec Orders en masse last night. Democracy Forward has been analyzing them & continues to post summaries of these harmful actions to our EO Legal Response Center. Visit Democracy2025.org for info & return for more policy analysis & updates on how communities are fighting back.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

Trump loving Billionaires confirm we now live in a plutocracy. Under Trump we will have “a government controlled exclusively by the wealthy.” My hope is these Robber Barrons of our day trigger a backlash of reforms that give the power back to the people deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Your job is to follow the constitution and the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 and object to electoral votes cast for candidates who are ineligible under section 3 of the 14th amendment.

MAGA: “Demolish the Department of Education!” MUSK: “Sorry, you subtards are too stupid to work for me.”

How we got into this mess, and how we get out of it. Capitalism is compatible with democracy only if democracy is the dominant partner. It was dominant from 1933 until 1980. Then hyper-capitalism took over, and finally gave us Trump. @rbreich.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

They are all getting exactly that which they deserve.

Just sayin
