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.

Per @cturnbull1968.bsky.social: “Dear DNC, if you don’t run political ads with Elon holding a chainsaw, combined with video of a chainsaw cutting Grandma’s social security benefits and healthcare, I’m going to file a suit against you for gross negligence.”

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

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.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day. But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Musk has wielded the power of an official who would need to be formally appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, but he hasn’t gone through that constitutionally required process, the states argued. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign. 4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe. 881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and made Trump a dictator.

When the leader of your party is a convicted felon who was found by a court to be a sexual assaulter, whose company was found guilty of fraud, who incited a violent insurrection, and whose mismanagement of a pandemic caused 10Ks of avoidable deaths, there’s not much that’s going to shame you.

As a former DOJ attorney I am proud of these courageous prosecutors refusing to obey DOJ's corrupt order to dismiss the criminal case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams - we all should be proud of them. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

On @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com tonight from Captain Sully Sullenberger regarding Trump’s reaction to the airline tragedy on the Potomac: “Not surprised; disgusted.” That pretty much says it all. Captain Sullenberger is a true hero. Trump has no compassion for the victims. All about blame.
