We are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the fires in LA. We learned that the @caffeluxxe in Pacific Palisades did not survive. We are thankful that everyone of our team, and our communities are safe and grateful to the first responders. We will rebuild

New in PN: Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies
"It’s easy to see why Trump sees value in putting a stake in the heart of the intelligence agencies. From his perspective, the risk they'll uncover wrongdoing by him, or the authoritarian leaders he identifies with, is too great"

Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies
It's hard to envision a less suited intelligence chief. That’s a feature, not a bug.

When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one.
Never let them tell you who you are or what you're worth.

After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles
During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans, even though some were written by his former aides and many allies.

Always remember that a large amount of people wanted to negotiate with Hitler 'for peace' long after Germany started eating its neighbours. When the French collaborators negotiated they nearly lost all of France to the Nazis. Negotiation can only happen after the invader has been pushed back home.

President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.
Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Why should he “throw them out?”
NEW: DA Alvin Bragg is refusing to throw out the 34 felony count conviction of Trump but is putting the case on hold for now. He indicates he will fight any Trump motion to dismiss.

Biden approves Ukraine’s use of long-range U.S. weapons inside Russia, reversing policy
The Biden administration will allow Kyiv “limited” use of the ATACMS long-range missile system to strike enemy positions in Kursk, a significant reversal of U.S. policy.

A full field investigation begins w/ a detailed FBI interview, followed by interviews with scores of witnesses. Any false answer is a felony. The whole investigation is critical for Senate to assess national security risk and character and is integral to constitutional scheme.

This is why I built Democracy Docket as a stand alone site rather than on Substack. It costs more to operate, but it ensures that DD will always be independent and never subject to a corporate overlord.

Been hooting this horn for a minute, do not make the mistake of seeing this site start gaining traction and putting all your eggs and community here. Build a mailing list, send out newsletters, get a website. Not a discord, not a blog hosted on another social media site, an actual website you own.
LRT: If you’re a game dev, consider having your own blog/site. It’s probably going to last longer than any social media platform, unless you choose to shut it down yourself, and it’s really nice having a “home base” that can’t get destroyed by a bored billionaire.
