I keep saying this, but I lived through all of this, and I can't remember it all. Thank you for putting these newsletters together so I can be reminded of the criminality and stupidity of the past week. These newsletters are a gem!!!!
Can't say i 'like any of this, but i do thank you for compiling it all. What a disastrous regime! Your friends in Canada mourn the loss of our friend, the imperfect but wonderful USA.
What I learned from this account of the week’s governmental actions: Despite rampant incompetence on the part of the actors, the destruction of the United States proceeds at unbelievable speed by issued proclamations instead of established constitutional protocol.
< Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement that the U.S. citizens and permanent residents had been arrested and jailed in Venezuela “without proper due process” and called for the “restoration of democracy in Venezuela.” >
Hypocrisy is in every corner of this administration.
Why are we still posting and reporting on Xitter? It’s hardly a reliable source, and certainly not primary. Yesterday I got a newsletter I really like that featured a poster encouraging folks to drop Xitter, then went on to ask everyone to share the newsletter on Xitter! Democracy Docket is the only subscription I have that doesn’t promote X, it uses BlueSky instead. More of that please!
I will soon start dropping subscriptions that are using Xitter.

Excellent week summary- Sadly, each week is a horrific dismantling of our country and democracy.
Always, you clarify and educate. Glad to be a paid subscriber now, after just subscribing for several months.
There is but one problem with the weekly newsletter -- as soon as I start reading it, someone invariably starts chopping onions.
Why did CBS cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert? Follow the money!

Particularly stunning to read this line:

I'm not willing to give up yet. If need be, another Revolutionary War comes to mind.
