Democracy Docket is not on Substack. Yes, it's more difficult to get sign-ups and expensive to operate. But it's worth it. It has no corporate overlords. It is not dependent on investors. It only depends on you.
If this is what you value, support it today.

There are too many people that can't muster the energy to walk into a voting booth telling me they are going to engage in a revolution. That math doesn't math people. Vote. That's step 1. If you can't do that you can't change crap.
Time for a serious talk. We are at the crossroads. Vote Democrat or it's over. Not being hyperbolic. Today I make the case. Be there for Coffee With Texas Paul!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Friendly reminder that as Republucans ban abortion, they are also coming after Medicaid, which funds 41% of all births in this country.
So the cost of these forced births will have to be paid for by the women.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Congress must investigate.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

And the last guys to fight a civil war left very clear instructions on how to avoid the next one in the 14th amendment:
(1) make sure everybody born here is a citizen
(2) if states abridge voting rights, cut their seats in Congress
(3) don't let insurrectionist hold public office

it is honestly kind of striking to me that the founders were basically on target re: “things that could end our republic”
well, the founders’ nightmare of a foreign born subversive with no inherent loyalty to america grabbing power now looks very relevant. however they didn’t predict he would be a dope fiend too

The United States is under attack. Elon Musk—who has been elected to nothing and is a deeply troubled person—is literally destroying our government from the inside and doing so without authority or consent of the governed. Working on a report on this right now. It’s an emergency.

You want to know how we are fighting the Trump Regime? Ok, I wasn't ready to do this yet, but for you I will. I wanted to be farther along before I laid out the plan, but it seems a lot of you need it. So, I will. You want to know how we inevitably win this? Watch today's Coffee With Texas Paul.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
