The most important election of 2025 is coming up just one week from today. The race for Wisconsin Supreme Court will be crucial to Democrats’ ability to flip the U.S. House next year, to ensure free and fair elections, and to safeguard abortion access:

Has any new drug saved your life or the life of someone you know? If so, you can thank the NIH, which Trump and Musk are illegally destroying, in violation both of the law creating the NIH, and appropriations laws telling NIH what money to spend and how

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story…

“It is often said of journalists that we write the rough draft of history,” our editor-in-chief writes. “But our work differs from historians in a crucial aspect: Scholars typically are chronicling events after the outcome is clear.”

Holy crap. They’re threatening to shut down the Social Security administration today. Get loud and get on the phones. .

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans:

1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk.

2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.

I Worry, but I Fight From Marc | Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not.

So, I won’t.

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

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.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.

Democrats voted yes.

Republicans voted no.

Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

On Monday, February 24 at 5:30pm Pacific / 8:30pm Eastern, join us to explore together:

What happened?

DNC Chair Candidates On 2024 Election, What They’d Do Differently Moving Forward Read more here.

A Feb. 1 election will determine who will lead the Democratic National Committee. We sat down with three candidates to discuss their priorities for the party and the question on everyone’s minds: where did Democrats go wrong in 2024?

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

NEW: In these unprecedented times, it's easy to feel defeated and powerless. But there are many ways everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. @marcelias.bsky.social shares ten things all of us can do.

MAGA is already cracking under in-fighting between the tech broligarchy and MAGA’s nativist Christian nationalists.

Trump himself is old, frail, and suffering from mental decline.

A significant majority of Americans will quickly realize that they do not intend to live in a plutocracy.

NEW: With Trump back in office, pro-democracy news is more important than ever. That's why, starting tomorrow, Democracy Docket is expanding our coverage to report on lawsuits filed to hold the Trump administration accountable.
