Musk added another $2 million—he's now up to $10.2 million in spending to put his bought-and-paid-for MAGA candidate, Brad Schimel, into the decisive seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court. There's a reason his names aren't on the ads. Voters loathe Musk. Help us get the word out: peoplevmusk.org

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

"I can see why the Trump administration is going after Columbia, rather than, say, Stanford, where swastikas were drawn on campus whiteboards, or the University of Alabama, which recently decided to name a building after a former KKK member."

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

An internal memo shows that Trump & Musk are planning to fire 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs. Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our nation’s veterans. This would be disastrous. Our vets deserve better.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
