Even though the resemblance is uncanny, one of these is called the Burgermeister Meisterburger, and the other one is the Rapistmeister Meisterrapist.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Goldman Sachs raises odds of US recession to 45%, second hike in a week. So much winning! Thanks GOP! www.reuters.com/markets/us/g...

The Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Has Become All About Elon Musk The richest man in the world is the biggest spender on behalf of a right-wing effort to take control of a state Supreme Court. www.thenation.com/ar... #wiunion #wipolitics

Alien Enemies Act today, the Insurrection Act tomorrow. And not a single MAGA "libertarian" will blink twice as Trump ushers in an authoritarian nanny state where the White House decides on a whim which thought crime to crack down on next.

We must not allow Elon Musk to put another politician in his hip pocket. Brad Schimel is a politician. Susan Crawford is a jurist.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is a referendum on Elon Musk www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A poll of more than 220 U.S. CEOs finds business confidence at lowest level since November 2012—and recession fears on the rise. So much winning! Thanks @GOP! chiefexecutive.net/ceo-optimism...

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power. Help us fight back and elect Susan Crawford: PeopleVMusk.com

The 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court race has turned into a fight over who is truly impartial, @henry-redman.bsky.social reports. Tuesday, Susan Crawford sought to make the case she is in a lunch session with reporters in Milwaukee.

@mcfaulmike.bsky.social: “I want to remind everybody, Trump and Vance have done absolutely nothing for President Zelenskyy… They told him he has to give up his territory. They told him he can't join NATO… They have not given new assistance… So why in God’s name should they be seeking a thank you?”

Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is pushing an agenda to “partner’ with Russia – an adversary interested in destabilizing the U.S. Just three years ago, Marco Rubio warned against collaborating or negotiating with Russia in any way.

Wisconsin SCOWIS candidate Brad Schimel was paid to speak at an anti LGBTQ, hate group conference. He said it was none of the public’s business. He said he had never gone to a conference where there was so much love. Schimel is a fucking bigot. I will be voting for Susan Crawford. 🤘

Elon Gableman chimes in on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Reminder that no state court came closer to overturning the 2020 election results than the right-wing majority in Wisconsin at the time, and candidate Brad Schimel has been siding with Jan. 6 rioters in his campaign.

We got major endorsements yesterday from the four largest public sector unions—AFSCME, AFT, NEA, and SEIU. Then I got on stage in Detroit and shared a bold vision to unite, fight, and win for working people. Our strong movement is growing even stronger.

Another pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court election offers two familiar outcomes Either liberals will cement their control through 2028 or Justice Brian Hagedorn will regain the pivotal swing vote wisconsinwatch.org/2... #wiunion #wipolitics

According to the folks at Monticello it's a lie: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

It takes just as much energy to do something supportive or helpful. The thing is, you'd need some quality values for that.

How about this? TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE and MEDICAID AND THE VA!!!!! Agree? ✋

Look forward to seeing nonstop coverage of this on the MSM. Also expect public apologies from Comer and Jordan for abusing his lies to persecute the Bidens at immense expense.

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

BREAKING: AOC announces interest in the top Democratic spot on the Oversight Committee — which would allow her to hold the Trump administration accountable at every turn. "I think that this is just an important moment of generational change in the caucus," she said. Like and share to support her!

Quite a good thread 🧵from @benwikler.bsky.social about the billionaire base of the new admin and what we can do to stop them from taking our basic services from us (SS, Medicare, VA) and to win back a majority in the midterms.

Wow, most excellent 🧵 from @elienyc.bsky.social on the use of gender affirming care at the SCOTUS.

I hope everyone is paying close attention to how the Hunter Biden pardon is being covered. If you wondered why Trump and his cronies can betray America and commit ceaseless crimes for years without consequences but Democrats can't right obviously partisan wrongs, the current media reaction is why.

There’s nothing like a great @benwikler.bsky.social thread to make you feel energized. We have work to do.

More proof the US economy was in a very strong place before Trump was elected jakehasablog.blogspot.com/2024/11/more... #wipolitics

This is deeply fucked up.

😳wild to see it all in one place like this. prospect.org/politics/202...

Sarah McBride should follow Mike Johnson into the bathroom every time he goes just to make him feel uncomfortable.

Absolutely horrifying! White men, your xenophobia is showing.

Sorry MSNBC, but don’t be surprised by the mass exodus (38% decline) of your viewers since the election. I used to watch your network when you provided a progressive counterpoint to Fox. But when you minimized negative news coverage of Trump and amplified it for Harris, you lost me.
