Disbar JD Vance for threatening to ignore court orders!

Trump proposes cutting US defense budget "in half" — and "de-nuking" agreement with China, Russia
We here at Daily Dose of Democracy are ALL IN on drastically reducing the United States' massive, overblown defense budget, but let's be honest: the MAGA cult leader will meet stiff resistance in Congress and never get anywhere near halving our military spending — which topped $841 billion last year — and any money he might save from lowering bills at the Pentagon ain't going anywhere but into the pockets of his "tremendous amount of billionaires." You can take that — and precisely nothing else because there definitely won't be any savings passed on to you — to the bank.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Sen. Elizabeth Warren puts Elon Musk on notice
The world's most famous ketamine popper may have designs on ransacking the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but Sen. Warren has no intention of letting the agency just lay down and die.

Deb Haaland vows to protect us from Trump and his billionaire allies
Deb Haaland for Governor: Deb Haaland has fiercely fought for justice and delivered results for working people throughout her life, be it as an organizer, from the halls of Congress, or as Secretary of the Department of the Interior. She will always refuse to sit idly by while Trump and his un-elected billionaire allies unleash chaos across the country and give polluters free rein to destroy our pristine wilderness. We can help Deb fight back against Trump by electing her to the governor’s office in New Mexico. Will you chip in to help this fierce public servant answer the call to service once again?

RFK Jr. confirmed as Trump's health secretary, over Democrats' loud objections
Folks, the loudest and most pernicious anti-vaxxer in the nation was just confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate — and without a single Democratic "yes" vote — to lead the very large and consequential Department of Health and Human Services. Side effects may include deadly disease outbreaks, the rampant spread of quack pseudo-science and racist conspiracy theories, and an increase in visits to your local pediatrician to treat resurgent illnesses we spent decades effectively eradicating. It's so good to be great again!

Trump trashes Mitch McConnell over RFK Jr. vote, questions his childhood polio
It's moments like these when McConnell's historic decision to shield the MAGA cult leader from conviction in the Senate following BOTH of his definitely guilty impeachment trials must really feel like a master stroke of genius to the 82-year-old Kentucky Republican. Or maybe just a stroke.

Hulk Hogan says he "couldn’t understand a word" of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl show
The 71-year-old ex-wrestler and MAGA blowhard shared his very deep thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s record-breaking Super Bowl halftime show, telling the insufferable Jesse Watters on Fox News that he "couldn’t understand a word that was being said" and complaining that he "really didn't know what was going on, man." Oh, we know, Terry. They definitely not like you.

Anyone can push updates to the DOGE.gov website
The doge.gov website that was spun up to track Elon's cuts to the federal government is — surprise! — insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say "this is a joke of a .gov site" and "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN — roro." Seems like Phony Stark and his band of vigilante tech tykes might want to pick up a padlock or something.

Trump pushes dangerous authoritarian agenda
Squad Victory Fund: As America grapples with economic struggles, climate disasters, and fear in marginalized communities, the Trump administration is pushing more divisive legislation. The next four years are going to be challenging, but we can’t afford to let Trump and his allies push policies that bulldoze our communities and undermine our democracy. We must uplift bold leaders who are defending our values and challenging this unjust status quo. Will you add your name to stand up to Trump’s far-right agenda and support the next generation of progressive leaders?

14 states sue DOGE, Trump, and "agent of chaos" Elon Musk for violating Constitution
A group of 14 states sued DOGE, ”agent of chaos” Elon Musk and President Donald Trump on Thursday, arguing that the authority the White House granted the tech billionaire and his Department of Government Efficiency is unconstitutional. "The founders of this country would be outraged that 250 years after our nation overthrew a king, the people of this country — many of whom have fought and died to protect our freedoms — are now subject to the whims of a single unelected billionaire," Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement after the lawsuit was filed in US District Court in Washington, DC. The lawsuit argues that Trump has "delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization from Congress, and without meaningful supervision of his activities. As a result, [Musk] has transformed a minor position that was formerly responsible for managing government websites into a designated agent of chaos without limitation and in violation of the separation of powers." Hear, hear.

Republican chair of Armed Services blasts Pete Hegseth’s "rookie mistake" giving "Tucker Carlson"-style speech on Ukraine
Senate Armed Services Chair Senator Roger Wicker — who just weeks ago helped shepherd the former Fox News TV personality's nomination and confirmation — slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “rookie mistake” for publicly saying a return for Ukraine to pre-2014 borders with Russia was "unrealistic," suggesting that it sounded like "the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written." Maybe handing the keys to the Pentagon to an epic boozer and sexual predator with zero experience running an operation anywhere close in size and scope to frickin' United States military was a truly terrible idea?

Trump’s Gaza plan unites jihadist and far-right circles, experts warn
The systematic removal and permanent displacement of several million Palestinians from their homeland — also known as ethnic cleansing — to make way for some sort of American "Riviera" on the Mediterranean isn't going over so well anywhere in the Arab world. Furthermore, Trump's hare-brained scheme has actually united Muslim jihadists, albeit for far different reasons, with far-right white supremacists and neo-Nazis in the US who do not want to see a single American soldier on the ground in Gaza to make Trump's real estate pipedream a reality. Donnie did promise he would unite the world, we just didn't expect it to look like this.

Exclusive: Matt Schlapp, CPAC chairman, allegedly sexually assaulted a man at a bar, witnesses say
Something tells us he'll get away with his unconscionable, predatory behavior — again — with little more than a Schlapp on the wrist. Witnesses say the family values conservative literally just walked up to a bar patron and grabbed his genitals. It is somehow so appropriate that it is a gay conservative who literally embodies the homophobic right-wing caricature of the predatory gay man. Every accusation, etc.
