Republicans Know Trump Will Destroy Democracy — And Don't Care | Tim Miller
Republicans Know Trump Will Destroy Democracy — And Don't Care | Tim Miller YouTube video by Democracy Docket

NEW EPISODE: I sit down with Tim Miller of The Bulwark. We discussed defending democracy against Trump's authoritarian project. Tim pulls no punches on what he's witnessed from inside the Republican Party — and why so many elites are choosing to stay silent www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHcA...

Gave up all of the currency and promise of the “idea” of America (however flawed), in exchange for “we kill people. We kill lots of people.”

Planet Palantir - FPIF How a clique of unhinged techno-optimists is putting humanity at risk.

A new Silicon Valley military complex is emerging around firms like Palantir, whose AI tools fuse surveillance data for warfare, policing, & border control. This shift concentrates power over security policy in a small group of tech billionaires with little public oversight.

To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."

Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

Trump *is* doing debt cancellation.

It's just not your student or medical debts.

In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims.

They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.

Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.

Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.

You're going to pay in for 298 more days.

This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.

Scrap the cap.

Not only this — but donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself.

Everything is for sale. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/u...

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.

An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.

DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.

The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Elon Musk Wants a Do-Over on Twitter Trial After Jury Pool Couldn't Hide Its Disdain Elon Musk’s legal team filed a motion for a mistrial in the case, a move that often hints the defense thinks the trial isn’t going its way.

🥳 Let's enjoy this fElon moment: he wants a mistrial...bc the current jury hates him. 🤣

Shareholders accuse "Musk of allegedly violating securities law by making misleading public statements in an effort to push Twitter’s stock price down before he bought the platform in Oct 2022."

VA plans to scan a million veterans claims for signs of fraud The tool can quickly review submitted questionnaires that document medical evidence to determine a disability rating and monthly compensation.

❗The regime's Dept of Veterans Affairs thinks our veterans are, by default, criminals:

It's launching an automated tool to scan more than 1M disability benefits claims for evidence of fraud. This could force a new medical exam & impact compensation.

Sure it will be error-free.
