Please , no time for negativity. We need to win the House and Senate big time. Negativity discourages people. Sure, maga/trump is going to be leaving a huge mess (maybe part of the plan) but we have great candidates/reps +a big majority of people who are going to work so hard for recovery.

His talk, his words - threatening genocidal war crimes are as illegal as committing those acts. We must keep talking about this every day - to among others all of our representatives- and demand trump’s removal from office. We may not succeed soon but we should not give up.

oh great, - subtlety is just what we need right now. Attend and don’t be subtle- be pro- democracy. Or as Marc says, don’t attend at all if you’re too chicken to stand up in public.

So unbelievably lost - huge danger to the rest of the world, damaging to this country. I’m screaming silently - then working hard against the regime because the majority of us “we the people” aren’t lost. And you are right there- always appreciate your thoughtful commentary and leadership.

It’s called perseveration-symptom of his mental decline/variety of dementia. Same for talking about pens repeatedly at his cabinet meeting. In front of our eyes examples daily. Can’t make a definitive diagnosis without a doctor, but media/everyone should call it like it is- unfit for POTUS.

Yes, but why was there no follow up?

So so well worth the time to listen to this meeting today, and to subscribe to Democracy Docket. Marc Elias and Democracy Docket are stellar fighters and leaders and everyone who is able should support them!

Please keep saying that. Over and over. And, that we can handle more than one message at a time. It’s ok and good to talk about affordability but also to acknowledge and emphasize that however “affordable “, if our “house” is on fire it won’t make a difference.

From what I read, the funding is already there for ICE in a way it can’t be voted on now. Of course that doesn’t mean we should relent in our efforts to stop the madness, but important to have the facts.

Don’t be fooled. These are the fall guys - nothing to lose. Schumer and others behind this.

Schumer is complicit in this. He has to go.

Please also point out - repeatedly- that the NYTimes basically buried the story of NoKings - below the fold, a little deal. Perhaps the biggest demonstrations ever. Horrible- they fail of way too often.

I bet we’ll find out it’s more . People who understand estimating crowd size say it takes some time for all the data to come in and be analyzed. So - a suggestion- good to hold off on numbers. Those “first impression “ things tend to stick - esp in MSM (if the bother to cover )

Point Reyes Station, CA 500!!! Lots more than 1st No Kings. We’re a small village of less than 1000 but drawing from the surrounding rural area.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Thank you for this message and your excellent work!! Please, keep it up - no caving! Meaningful negotiations, healthcare protected and congressional authority on budget respected, not abrogated.

Unsubscribe WaPo! I did so a couple years ago. I only subscribe and support independent, pro- democracy media. Many thanks to Marc and the Democracy Docket team - the best!

What a cynical awful and discouraging thing to say. Some of our representatives have been doing a great job , others are catching up and more need to. We are the opposition. The Democratic party is the opposition. Get on board and help. Don’t throw meaningless and destructive pot shots.

I’m not sure why Jimmy Kimmel would want to return to ABC. He has plenty of money and plenty of options. Why work for a corporation that would treat him this way?

Can you take on lawsuits for the people getting fired for expressing their opinion of Kirk? Many are just saying what’s true about who he was, what he stood for and advocated for. Employers, media and others are caving. Huge free speech issue - needs to be extremely vigorously defended! Thanks!

News alert! Last minute entry!!trump not only throws his hat in the ring for Pope, he’s decided - front runner that he always is - to run in the Kentucky Derby today. Going to show those horses what a real winner looks like. Bets are on - $trump bitcoin only.

If Schumer does that, we need to oust him. We’ve needed that anyway.

So appreciate your increased communication, letting people know what’s going on and how you and your House colleagues are responding to the illegal, extreme and dangerous actions of musk/trump. I’m glad you recognize how deeply concerned citizens are and ready to help.Thanks for all you’re doing.

Why do you stay with WaPo? Failing. Still. Those who value your opinion will follow you - to Substack, Bluesky and other independent media. Please- walk your talk, do the right thing.
