"Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban 'special' government employees like Musk from having federal contracts."

Another meaningless gesture, a bill that won’t pass and so will have no effect. As a lifelong democrat I’d like to see some action that actually accomplished something.
The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!
Never forgive them, these bastards, these thieves,They've taken our data, our peace, our reprieve.In this Rot Economy, they've spat on our dreams,With their profit, their greed, it's all just schemes.
They've turned us into lab rats, our lives are their game https://suno.com/song/83cc3c4d-7cf1-42e9-86e2-d616bc969e37
This is a reminder that Wisconsin is not a red State. Republicans keep cheating to force it to be one but it never was. The Republican party was formed in Wisconsin as a progressive party under Lincoln. Lincoln was a progressive democracy candidate.
It's obstructionist, which is still more than they were doing before. Blame the cowards that side with the ones who think that because Trump is happy with it it's not their job to argue for not being able to do more...
And the ones who aren't upholding their oath to defend the constitution.
I really like elected officials with a robust vocabulary and keen ability to extemporaneously compose prose (and poetry would be nice, too!) Sadly, my Rep, Bryan Steil (R-WI CD01) only has a twitter account and I cannot loop him into this convos.
Musk needs to be a campaign issue in ‘28, and I want to see promises to strip him of contracts, prosecute him (unless he has a pardon), and drive him from the country
Clearly, someone who is a 'special' government employee shouldn't have any federal contracts. I'm no ethics expert but that would appear to be a clear conflict of interest. I know that means NOTHING to the GQP or the SCOTUS, but it is what it is.
Sometimes in addition to the Seans Duffy, Uihleins, and Joes McCarthy, we also produce one of him here. Ron Johnson only rooted here; technically he sprouted in Minnesota.
The elder, the whole family as individual statesmen and women.
(I’ll even forgive the boys for the dynamics of their party in the state leading to the conditions for McCarthy’s election and the underpowered state Dems instead of a DFL-style fusion.)
That’s valid we did used to de beheading and to this day still have the death penalty, I just wouldn’t want to personally become an enemy of the state for a post
I am so tired of this junior high backronym bullshit. Historians are going to look back on these people in a few decades and think 'what a bunch of fucking clowns.'
I'm old enough to remember a congress that didn't need a majority of one party to pass things for the good of the nation.
I also realize that this is not the time we live in
Sell Tesla - Bring Elon down. Tesla stock could be hiding in your ETFs - make sure you sell those and get Tesla out of your portfolio. Elon operates with debt backed by Tesla stock. If the stock gets low enough it will trigger his ruin. How many people hate this guy? If enough of us act together…

I called him Tuesday and had to leave a message. I ALWAYS get to talk to a staffer when I call his office. The fact it went to a machine means they were BUSY. So glad he has done this.
Remember this? It all makes sense now doesn't it? The buying of Twitter to promote lies and conspiracies. The financing of Trump's election. The meetings with Putin. The plan to level GAZA and develop it. Did Musk and Putin find a way to hack the 2024 election?
Great how does he expect that to pass w/o gop esp if he doesn’t know are the gop scared?,paid off? I want to know why don’t you want to know? @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @repdelbene.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @cantwell.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
Any legislation any Democrat introduces this session has exactly zero chance of passing. It likely won't even get a vote. It certainly wouldn't be signed into law.
Listen - under literally ANY OTHER circumstances I’d be awarding huge points for the effort at the acronym. But just this once could the people that are ostensibly the grown ups in the room stop trying to score cute internet points and start acting like fucking statesmen with power to protect us?!
No it isn't. It's a powerful act of protest people can rally around. And it's an exercise in legislating that can develop over time and make it into law in four years.
What an incredible waste of time. They don't have the votes to pass it. If they did, it would be vetoed. Even if it was signed into law, it would be ignored. Are these gutless Dems going to ACT or waste time? Arrest the vermin chewing the wires of our government.
Exactly. What he's doing is already illegal to start with, so why we're wasting our time with this is beyond me. They want to act like they're doing stuff, but they're somehow doing less than the nothing Chuck was doing with the X posts about chips and pizza. I'm tired of this shit.
"The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
Trump is part of an international criminal cartel. He is protecting buddies like Netanyahu and Putin so they will do the same for him. What do you expect from a 34 count convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who has released thousands of convicted criminals from jail and was Epsteins wingman?
After the midterms, when Dems take back control of the House, work can begin on excluding Musk from future government contracts due to conflicts of interest, etc.
I love this so much. It's hard for Johnson to make a weaselly defense of opposing this, although he certainly will. His only hope is that the porn warning app on his phone goes off, and he can leave quickly.
This is what they do instead of physically knocking the sociopathic Nazi with empty eyes the fuck out. Well fucking done. Slow clap time. From my ass cheeks.
I think the plot by Musk is more diabolical. I believe the "geek squad" is compromising government servers to create a link to a "Musk Cloud" that will use AI to create a large language model. Data in his cloud will constantly update via the links. This "machine" literally will try to control us.

Cool. Go Wisconsin! But now shout it from the mountain. Make sure everyone knows you are trying to stop the looting of our country. And be sure to loudly try to stop everything they are trying to do.
This seems a lot more worthwhile than Schumer introducing a bill that basically just says “the obviously illegal thing Musk and Trump are doing is probably illegal, somebody should look into that.”

It should be unnecessary because he has already committed crimes. But here we are.
oh honey, hit him RIGHT where he lives; in the ego.
@rokhanna.bsky.social please support as many of these as you can!

This is nonsense. You know it and so do a majority of America patriots.
And the ones who aren't upholding their oath to defend the constitution.

Dems need to get serious.
or something like that ???
I also realize that this is not the time we live in
And it sucks/
I am also old enough to remember when legislation like veterans' benefits could pass with nonpartisan/ bipartisan support.
Those days are long gone.
When the MelonFelon finally turns on them, they will be shocked that their obedience didn't save them.

"Cool name, bro."

The moment requires more than messaging bills.
Waiting for the budget and debt ceiling 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍿🍿🍿🌮🌮🌮😅🍔
We have to do this another way. Legislation is quite irrelevant right now.
None.
Even if it made it to DJT's desk, he'd veto it.
This is just impotent posturing.

Zero.
This is cargo cult behaviour.
Should blue states be arming their borders and keeping their money in the state, while beginning secession proceedings and trade/defense treaties?
