WI if you are angry with Musk & DOGE, how do you feel about him trying to buy a state Supreme Court seat? youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3E... youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3E...

The Dems message going forward to elections does not have to be nuanced. Keep it simple, repeat often: The GOP is more scared of Trump & Musk than they are concerned with representing you. They are know better, but they are COWARDS & complicit. Full stop.

Heads up, you all:

The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, United States DOGE Service, as an entity insulated from public records requests or most judicial intervention until at least 2034 (Important reporting here by NYT Minho Kim) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...
