Elon Musk is flooding a Wisconsin Supreme Court election with millions of dollars. “The level of corruption at play here, the level of money at play here, really is a warning sign for what's happening to our democracy," says @ariberman.bsky.social of @motherjones.com.

if you wanted to crash the economy, embolden criminals, aid our enemies and hurt people, these are the exact policies you’d enact

@maddow.msnbc.com Love your shows. In addition to reporting on protests & town halls, can you report on what people who can’t attend these are doing? What are the elderly doing, what are moms with kids at home doing, to protest Trump administration? The rest of us want to know what we can do.

My 10th publishers note was the hardest one I have written for @contrariannews.org It presented me with a dilemma because of my long & previously great relationship with Paul Weiss and the people who run it 1/x open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

TIME MAG has a piece by a reporter embedded at the El Salvadoran prison who watched as Andry, a gay asylum-seeking Venezuelan barber they said is a gang member but is not, was slapped and screamed for his mother as they held him down. Horrific. time.com/7269604/el-s...

“If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic,” Pritzker said.

“The corruption is why you pay a fortune for prescriptions. The corruption is why your insurance claim keeps getting denied. The corruption is why hedge funds get to buy up all the houses in your neighborhood.”

We are governed by a petty, thin-skinned, grievance-filled, insecure man-child.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Earlier today the media released a list that names the people from Venezuela that were forcibly removed by the United States to an El Salvador mega-prison. Our client, Andry, was one of them. @L_Toczylowski joined @maddow 👇 youtu.be/_iNQwfptvyA

@gtconway.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com It is obvious Trump is preparing for HIS FINAL COUP. Please don’t let anyone talk about midterm elections or future opportunities to vote. Trump won’t let that happen.

@maddow.msnbc.com Please point out that Donald Trump thrives in chaos. What he is doing to our country & world replicates what he has done throughout his business & personal life. Nothing is new. His past behaviors led to bankruptcies & indictments. He only cares about himself. Nothing has changed.

@maddow.msnbc.com Please tie the actions of Donald Trump‘s administration directly to him and his antipathy towards departments that investigated & challenged him. ALL of his actions are PERSONAL. Please make that connection.

@maddow.msnbc.com Will you please talk about how the elimination of depts, like the public corruption dept at the Dept of Justice, benefit Trump? Can you talk about his personal antipathy for these depts that investigated him? And how eliminating them will eliminate future investigations of him?

President Trump to Chief Justice Roberts, author of the presidential immunity decision: “Thank you again. I won’t forget.” Slaps him on the shoulder.

What a HUGE missed opportunity by Democrats. Elissa Slotkin called on Americans to take action. Where were serious actions by our Democratic legislators? Democrats should’ve created a spectacle last night that would have been on the front page of every paper today. Huge missed opportunity.

In my opinion, Hakeem Jefferies and the other Democratic leaders who wanted the Democrats to listen respectfully were horribly misguided. Democrats should’ve created a spectacle that would have been on the front page of every paper today. Huge missed opportunity.

My response to the Democratic response. This is not the time for normal politics.

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:
