Senate Democrats’ Choice: Block the Republican Spending Bill or Dissolve Congress The House’s continuing resolution would effectively hand over spending decisions to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

NEW from me: With House Republicans passing a partisan, damaging continuing resolution that gives Donald Trump and Elon Musk free rein to continue to strangle appropriated spending, Senate Democrats have to decide whether they will actively participate in their institution's own destruction.

We need a "Let Yourself" theory too. Who's with me?

Senator, the GOP pushes us to almost shut the government down on a routine basis. At this point it would be preferable to the alternative looming before us.

It’s not exactly unthinkable. It’s completely predictable.

It does not surprise me that people are worried. I expected many to be concerned. But I did not anticipate that so many leaders across industries and professions would allow fear to silence them. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history.

We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

Universities are facing big cuts to research funding. At Duke, it's a time for 'damage control' Facing the potential loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding, Duke University is preparing for the worst.

This Administration is turning its back on science. If you never had the measles or polio, thank science. If you use a smartphone as easily as a computer, thank science. If you want to know if it will be raining tomorrow, thank science. A total disaster is coming.

All the pundits spending time on Dems’ message on trans sports could maybe use a little of their power and platform to talk about how vile this is.

BREAKING: We're suing President Trump over his executive order prohibiting gender-affirming care for people in federal prisons.

We'll see Trump in court to protect access to life-saving health care for people in federal custody.

Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves People say they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families.

β€œOne prominent first-term critic said in a recent interview that not only would he not comment on the record, he did not want to be mentioned in this article at all. Every time his name appears in public, he said, the threats against him from the far right increase.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

Democrats Are Acting Too Normal In her response to Trump’s address, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin failed to capture the hallucinatory nature of our national politics.

America does not need a β€˜resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people.
