Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Seems like a good time for us all to send emails to [email protected] to let them know what we've been working on.

Federal employees already account for their work with their supervisors. We should be thanking them for their service to our country, not jerking them around. Disgusting.

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

I'm watching this on repeat like it's a prayer.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Wow. DOGE is far more expensive than the USDS that it pretends to be. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

“No more kings” From Schoolhouse Rock

This. All of this. Stop what you’re doing & watch it now. Every Governor, Senator, Representative, Fortune 500 CEO, university president, religious leader, etc. etc. should be giving speeches like this right now.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

worhtless. if true, he's superfluous and should resign www.politico.com/live-updates...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

"Thousands of DHS agents shift to deportation instead of drugs, weapons and human trafficking" www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

You get what you vote for.

Wow there’s new video of the Delta flight landing and rolling over at Toronto’s Pearson Airport yesterday….incredible all survived 🙏

I worked on this story for a decade and he just said it out loud on Fox News

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

Money talks

What Trump has done for US farmers so far: -frozen their foreign aid program (and left their food to rot) -encouraged EU to ban their products -frozen legally-owed reimbursements for their energy efficiency upgrades etc. -threatened to deport half their workforce -suppressed research on bird flu

NBC News: An aide close to President Zelenskyy says that, as of Saturday evening, Ukraine has *still* not been invited to the peace talks between the U.S. and Russia in Saudi Arabia.

The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare. There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it. We only need three House Republicans to join us.

Also deafening and shameful in their silence: our four living presidents, especially the Republican one who should have not been a total coward & endorsed Harris in October. Where are they?

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
