Damn right.

FUCK! YOU! ELON! 👏🏽👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Elon Musk Appears to Be Breaking Wisconsin Law Against Vote Buying in Offering a Chance to Win $1 Million to Anyone Who Voted in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race electionlawblog.org?p=149196

This latest vote-buying scheme by Musk incredibly corrupt, at same time Tesla suing Wisconsin, and likely illegal It is a felony in Wisconsin to offer, give, lend or promise to lend or give anything of value to induce a voter to cast a ballot or not vote.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

Wikler: "Brad Schimel should immediately condemn Musk’s crimes and disavow his continued involvement in his campaign. ... If Elon Musk sets foot in Wisconsin, he should be placed in handcuffs and held accountable."

MA residents, please join me in calling Governor Healey's office to demand action and a response to these brazen kidnappings carried out by ICE on the streets of our cities. If you'd like a script, we've provided one - full copy in the alt text. Her office's number is 617 725 4005. Flood it!

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military. In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the

When asked about the reason for the removal of the story on the @DeptofDefense website on Jackie Robinson's military service, Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot said the following in a statement to ESPN.

Will the Trump administration remove honors for Ted Williams from the VA website? Why is recognizing the Splendid Splinter more worthy than recognizing Jackie Robinson?

One of the worst Sen Dems w propensity to cave to the Trump regime & one of the most reportedly ardent advocates for surrender to Republicans on recent Republican funding bill giving Musk/Trump blank checks is a crypto champion. She also leads Dem's campaign arm sending you 🗑️ emails begging for $.

This is weird.

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

Tim Walz is correct. I hope whichever advisor on the Harris campaign said "we need to tone this guy down" never works in politics again

If this is all a headfake by @schumer.senate.gov to fool Dem voters into believing Senate Dems tried to stop the Trump/Musk destruction while voting for cloture to enable it, that's going make Dems' electoral problems even worse. They will have proven to their base that voting for them is pointless.

👀 🚨🚨 House Dems want hold the line vs Musk/Trump and are calling our @schumer.senate.gov: "If Chuck Schumer can’t get us a better vote, he should resign." House Dems are hearing us - let's keep pressuring Schumer/Senate Dems - #NotOneVote 4 Musk/Trump (202) 224-3121 www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

I said what I said: calls to move the Dem party to the “center” are bad politics & risk betraying Dems’ core values. Instead, the party must forcefully defend democracy against authoritarian capture: rule of law, anti-corruption & econ populism are winning positions. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/o...

I usually don't participate in the Edsall calls for comments, but I made an exception b/c this topic is too important...& then he didn't use my comments. So, here they are: These premises are flawed: 1) that moderation wins. 2) that SMALL-dollar donors are Dems' problem. Both are wrong. 1/

that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this

LEADERSHIP “DOGE’s ransacking of federal agencies has sown tremendous chaos, instilled distrust among the American people, and has caused deep harm to our country,”

It's a scam, it's a grift, it's a crime spree

JUST POSTED: New Charting the Way Forward episode, featuring @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on the wild growth and strategic evolutions happening in the resistance to Trump autocracy this time. You're going to want to hear and share this one. Quick 🧵 -

Given their track record we cannot trust the Dem Cong Leaders to hold the line on govt funding/debt ceiling fights in closed rooms w/o a public commitment from them. They cannot give an inch to Rs unless there is a leg. deal to rein in the lawlessness. Must read from @joshtpm.bsky.social

*Trump's new acting undersecretary of state....

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

Unfortunately, no matter how right this is, Democrats are once again caught in the position of being seen going all out to protect institutions, not people.

Imagine you're a career federal worker with deep expertise in your field and a track record spanning multiple administrations of both parties. Then you're get hauled in front of this little twerp to defend your value to "the organization."

New from me: A tech mafia is currently taking over America. They're no different than the MAGA supporters who stormed the Capitol 4 years ago. www.altrightdelete.news/p/militias-a...

Not sure how genuine this is, but if I were a reporter based in DC, I would be making my way to 1900 E Street, NW right now.

Pathetic, @kaine.senate.gov. At the very least, you need to say "This administration is refusing to give Congress information we're legally entitled to, but based on the reporting it seems that Trump has given Elon Musk a dangerous and probably illegal amount of access to very sensitive data."

Plane crash site appears to be right around the Dunkin on Cottman Ave between Bustleton and the Boulevard.

Fox 29 Philly is providing live coverage of whatever the hell just happened at Roosevelt Mall. It's horrific. www.fox29.com/live

I am so goddamn mad. A friend who’s been FISHING BODIES OUT OF THE POTOMAC appears to be in the Trump purges today.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Hey @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @reuters.com @apnews.com I want real answers here. How do his cuts contribute to the likelihood of more crashes?

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

It's not unreasonable to want answers immediately from the President about why an Army helicopter was in front of a commercial jetliner, and to demand concrete steps to prevent it from happening again. Buck stops with him. Or is he too busy with golf, EOs, and fake bribery settlements?

This was an premature and irresponsible decision from the get go and the Trump regime has some explaining to do.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

NEW FAA STATEMENT: “A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local time. PSA was operating Flight 5342 as American Airlines. It departed from Wichita, Kansas.”
