I can't emphasize enough how stupid and self-destructive this law is. Many of America's greatest scientific advances have come from scholars escaping repression from hostile countries. Our freedom is our competitive advantage. We are throwing that away. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

2022: undocumented immigrants paid $96 billion into Social Security/Medicare—yet these Trump marks have no clue they pay into the system & get nothing back. Just going to say it—Dems don’t have a messaging problem. We have a stupid people problem & encyclopedia-length memes won’t reach these folks.

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it.
