Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

I called Hawley and Schmitt’s office yesterday to tell them to vote no on Pete Hegseth.

Republicans don’t have a mandate to confirm an alcoholic with credible rape allegations. What if Hawley got 1,000 calls today? What if every Republican Senator got 1,000 calls?

Hawley: 202.223.6154

Along the way @democracydocket.com added a daily newsletter and most recently premium content. What it has not added are outside investors. It owes nothing to corporate interests or external financial backers. It hosts its own website so that it can never be shut down by a platform like Substack.
