Just finished the thriller, “A Spy at War”, by Charles Beaumont, @aspyalone.bsky.social. It is gripping and brilliantly written. So grateful for Mr. Beaumont to post a review that indicates it is part of a trilogy. I can’t wait for the next one.

Pete Buttigieg for Daily News Spox!

Two years ago I warned everyone not to embrace Brad Raffensperger as some sort of hero. Now he is sucking up to MAGA. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/brad...

WTF?! Musk's DOGE was given $7 million this week alone to cover their costs. YES, $7 million in ONE WEEK of our tax dollars to Musk!! We need a Detailed breakdown of how this was spent. One penny not spent properly and Musk must be criminally charged. #LockMuskUp rollcall.com/2025/02/04/w...

As Elon Musk continues to talk about subsidies, let’s remember that he is the LARGEST GOVT SUBSIDIES RECIPIENT in the country!

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

Lieu: Trump then ordered the Army Corps of Engineers release over 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland.. this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. So Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching Southern California for a PR stunt

Senate Democrats stayed on the chamber floor all night Wednesday to protest the nomination of Russell Vought, an architect of Project 2025, to chair the Office of Management and Budget.

Elon Musk is grifting the American taxpayers. I'm fighting back with the ELON MUSK Act to ban "Special Government Employees" like Musk from holding government contracts. youtube.com/shorts/4lIr_...

“Whistleblowers are needed now more than any time in my time in public service.” -Sen Ron Wyden, quoted in this piece. I think we should take this warning extremely seriously. We're in real trouble and insiders need to step up. newrepublic.com/article/1911...

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

🚨BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS Trump spending freeze. A big victory for @democracyforward.bsky.social and their clients. Also a win for democracy and the rule of law. Follow @democracydocket.com for full details. www.democracydocket.com

Let's visit #Canada!

We could’ve had Tim 😭

The US Senate needs to call Kash Patel back and put him under oath. There is no way to reconcile his testimony with what we see happening at the Bureau. Call him on it.

Trump keeps asking “who the hell came up with these trade deals?” The most recent deal with Canada and Mexico was the USMCA signed in 2020 by… *checks notes*… Donald Trump

Today from Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny: snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Is Musk is *just now* being made a “special government employee” just confirms how illegal this has all been!

A total of zero votes were cast for the guy currently running America.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

I'm here.🙋‍♂️

As always, one of my all time favorites, Rep Jamie Raskin is on 🔥🔥🔥 "We don't have a fourth branch of government called Elon Musk. And that's going to become real clear."

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

"Just one more thing. You say you're trying to save the government billions, yet you're taking $30B to blow up rockets indiscriminately. You have this crazy scheme where you pretend we're going to colonize Mars. To be perfectly frank with you, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're on drugs."

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

Welcome to the Golden Age of Dipshittery.

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government. The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media. www.democracydocket.com

Thank you @meiselasb.bsky.social & @meidastouch.com for lifting up nursing voices! RFK Jr. is a threat to public health & unfit to serve as HHS secretary. Tell your senators to OPPOSE his nomination! @nursesforamerica.bsky.social @protectourcare.org www.meidasplus.com/p/meidas-hel...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

Fuck this guy. Ask any nurse or LPN or ER doc or admin clerk or social worker if they work weekends. This disrespect to our federal workforce is disgusting. Especially from this piece of shit.

BREAKING NEWS DEI hire Governor Greg Abbott warns that Texas will retaliate against Canada. What’s he gonna do? Send Ted Cruz there as punishment?

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

FACTS! - It IS a distraction. - Musk DID pressure the top FAA official to resign. - Musk's pressure was for his PERSONAL business interests. - Though it may not have stopped the crash, Trump's distraction IS divisive, despicable, AND disgraceful.

This is going to be a battle As Long As Trump is in the White House. We need at least one media Outlet where we can depend on the total truth. Maybe Cuban can start his own media Outlet and have Jim Acosta as his chief correspondent and anchor.

You elected the Congress. You did so as part of a deal we have had with each other since 1788 that the people we chose for that Congress would make our laws and control our national budgets. And now a group of people are illegally trying to strip away your power.

Trump is attacking the FBI and his supporters use the rationale that it’s necessary because people no longer trust the FBI - conveniently ignoring that people don’t trust the FBI because Trump and his ppl have spent years attacking it

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.
