Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified.

I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war.

And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump.

Trump claims (without proof) that Biden signed with an autopen, so his pardons aren’t valid.

This is the same man who claimed he could declassify documents just by thinking about them.

Interesting how male and men haven't been put on the government banned word list. Wake up people. Before it's too late.
Fascism is here.

The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich.

My open letter to Elon Musk.👇

Mr. Musk,

You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...
My Open Letter to Elon Musk
From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump's latest mass deportation agenda is a blatant assault on our nation's core values. This isn't about security; it's about cruelty. We must stand united against these inhumane policies and uphold the rights and dignity of all individuals.

Yep. This for sure.
There’s nothing I could say about him here that you don’t already know.

But as this next chapter of our nation begins, I just want you to know something I feel about you:

I am going to hold you responsible for what he does.

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit:

You ain't getting it.
He admitted it.
Said it's too hard.

But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins.

He doesn't give a fuck about you.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

😢 💔 Goodbye to our democracy and any chance at a balance of powers. Our country begins rule by an oligarchy tomorrow.
Remember this day.

The last full day with a Democratic President.

We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

When more people show up to oppose you then support you speaks volumes.

Don't you agree?

When Hillary lost, she conceded graciously and then went for a walk in the woods.

When Kamala lost, she conceded graciously and then got back work as our VP.

When Trump lost, he wouldn’t concede and then incited a deadly attack on our Capitol.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.
