Impeaching some, buying others. Assault on the judiciary is ramping up. https://youtu.be/da-JBwwQxMs

Surely the People of Wisconsin don't want another billionaire's stooge to be making judgments on their live's situations or injustices they might suffer from in the future, do they?

cranberryhorn.bsky.social•30 days ago

Why would anyone vote for a candidate that is in debt to Musk the wannabe world dictator?

kellyelasion.bsky.social•30 days ago

Have you seen MAGA?

cranberryhorn.bsky.social•30 days ago

I live in a total MAGA state...

kellyelasion.bsky.social•29 days ago

Same, stupid is everywhere.

You can only violate the Constitution if you subvert the judges.

I've donated.

Burn the money, vote for your freedoms!!!!!

mjayne01.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's about distraction. It's about photo ops. It's about red meat for the base. It's about obsessive wealth. It's pushing citizens until they break. It's about instituting marshal law. Ok, and judges too!

Make an issue out of Musk’s spending.

Are there no millionaires on the left that can help???

sharon43302.bsky.social•29 days ago

Where's the billionaires that were so worried about Biden?

trashpanda901.bsky.social•30 days ago

Is there a credible source that you can post? The NYT is dead to a lot of us.

mlmartello.bsky.social•30 days ago

Department by department and state by state until they pull the noose tight on all of us. LOCK HIM UP!

jcm444.bsky.social•30 days ago

We must fight back. He has enough money to buy every fucking election in every state, county, town, and fed in this country. WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THIS EVIL.

stillwithubts7.bsky.social•30 days ago

Money edge will not matter.....send a card out with all the folks who have voted for Medicaid cuts and the other nefarious crap DOGE and this Republican Congress have backed and watch them fall. Yes I'm aware that takes money but seriously....I'm keeping track

leeephillips.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yes, and Wisconsin legislative body refused to seat her.

cwkozee.bsky.social•30 days ago

They’re going to push us to the point of rebellion and then declare martial law and that’s game over for America 😡

lynnem5.bsky.social•30 days ago

There are non-white, non-male billionaires. Would people be standing by if one of THEM was doing all of this??
If not, why are they letting this happen?

soozeq.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yes it is

Money has long circumvented what little democracy the USA has. In the era of King Donald I, the buying of US government has reached new heights.

The American Revolution was undone on Nov. 5, 2024.

WHY?

show-me-the-hope.bsky.social•30 days ago

Musk bought an election and now he’ll buy the judges seats.

Don't you know that all elections are open for purchase by the highest bidder?

swellgal.bsky.social•30 days ago

Why aren't trump voters banging down the doors of WH looking for a piece of the billions that musk/trump claim is going back into the govt "petty cash" fund they intend to distribute to their wealthy/rich donors via another mega tax cut on the back of trump's low/middle income supporters?

fraziberry.bsky.social•29 days ago

Don’t let the buy another election Wisconsin!

frencharoo.bsky.social•30 days ago

This is not democracy

Thank you Citizens United

Cancel Musk contracts and subsidies.

GET MONEY THE FUCK OUT OF POLITICS

northsidemick.bsky.social•30 days ago

I sent in my donation to Crawford. Who's next?

grimmersister.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wrote get out the vote postcards for this race last week which seems puny in the face of everything that’s been going on.

The Repubs still have a month before the race to continue their massive takedown of this country & its citizens. Maybe by then, no matter what Musk pours in, it won’t be enough.

phaseolus.bsky.social•30 days ago

I knock on doors for Crawford. Every time I mention Musk's name it gets a visceral reaction and a promise to vote for Crawford.

nancygiabrown.bsky.social•30 days ago

Those spineless bastards.

acridocarpus.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yep.

NYT cheerleading a South African trying to buy a court election in Wisconsin; so on-brand today for the NYT.

Time to rename Citizens United to Billionaires United.

stacylymb.bsky.social•30 days ago

Kamala’s campaign raised $1B. It’s not always about the money raised.

mahatma68896892.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's about who's hacking the servers.

darnie.bsky.social•30 days ago

Also those 90 million who didn’t bother to vote.😡

stacylymb.bsky.social•30 days ago

Exactly!

kellyfaunce.bsky.social•30 days ago

Fuck the money and flood social media. That's where people are today.

lindapatch.bsky.social•30 days ago

If the people used their brains, a Musk back candidate would be dismissed summarily out of hand. Musk money = instant vote for other candidate. Money does not have to win. It's not a given.

sarahroller.bsky.social•30 days ago

So sick of big money putting a big selfish thumb on the scale. Democracy.

lookimadeahat.bsky.social•30 days ago

The key is getting people informed. Lots of voters just see the scary ads funded by right wing money and don't understand they're being manipulated.

americasgonemad.bsky.social•30 days ago

Won't help them now...they will lose everything. They are getting wiped out.

fplynch.bsky.social•30 days ago

And money doesn't just talk, it >lies<.

keithmo.bsky.social•30 days ago

Before Citizen United, Democrats were often outspent in elections. They countered the oponent's dollar advantage with both big "L" and small "l" labor. They got more boots on the ground.

Hell with the money, Wisconsin wake up and save your state and vote democrat for this crucial seat.

alicia0001.bsky.social•30 days ago

We'll see. Rage plus taking away Granny's Medicaid might win the day for Democrats.
Democrats need to fuel the rage machine by hammering what people are losing vs what Trump and Musk are getting for themselves. And remember, they do not share their wealth, no DOGE checks are coming.

lisatetzloffwi.bsky.social•30 days ago

I live in Wisconsin. We're fighting back hard. Even many Republicans in our state don't like Elon. I'm pretty optimistic.

jackthepotter.bsky.social•30 days ago

He gets millions from the government and spends it to undermine democracy. Who will stop him?

comen-tator.bsky.social•30 days ago

I wish that we could depend on "Good overcoming Evil" all the time, but I'm not that naive!
The GOP is willing to throw tons of money into elections because they know that if they win, they'll be able to get everything they want and more, back very quickly through their GRIFTING!

peanutoil.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's the name of the game. The widespread trashing of Hillary Clinton, by the media and rivals in her own party set the stage for the electoral loss in 2016. Liberal anti-Hillary pundits expressed dismissal or contempt at the importance of the Supreme Court.

markjager.bsky.social•30 days ago

Are there no rich democrats ?

jordanjanuary.bsky.social•30 days ago

Crawford has raised A TON of money, but President Musk’s PAC pledged something like 1.6 million just last week. Tbf I don’t think it’s going well for Schimel otherwise, but still worrisome.

mac-photo.com•30 days ago

This really pisses me off. Politics shouldn't be about who has the most money to spend, but who has the better message about how to serve their constituents.
