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

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

You know who's in no way mission-critical to the performance of any important function of the U.S. government? Elon Musk. In fact, he seems to be mission-failure-critical.

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The point here is Trump does not recognize order, laws, defined terms, accountability. It never mattered to him. And for that reason the Constitution is just a bunch of words to him as well. “I have an Article II that says I can do whatever I want.” That’s why these suits are so important.

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

These are the people they have handling the most confidential information Americans share with their government, and deciding who works & who doesn’t, which programs survive and which don’t. And no doubt Elon shares those views. This is a takeover of our govt. We need to stop this NOW!
