This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I'm so glad that my colleague next door agrees the Ways & Means Committee would be a proper place to scrutinize DOGE. Lord knows both mine and Congressman Fitzgerald's constituents want to know what they’re doing with Wisconsinites sensitive personal information. Americans want answers.

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.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Can anyone explain the firing of Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female Chief of Naval Operations in the U.S. Navy? 🌊 Beyond Hegseth’s well-documented gripes about diversity and women in combat, it smells like a case of fragile egos and a side of ‘women in power? 🙄

This is 100%. Almost everything in the constitution is general or implied. The document literally says there's going to be a post office and congress is in charge of setting it up, deciding what it's rules are.

Call your reps, senators, governors, mayors EVERY DAY. Twice a day. Write letters, send emails, post comments, attend meetings, write letters to editors. Fascists are cowards - they will back down if pressured hard enough. #Resist #Protest #WeFightWeWin

What the fuck does this even mean? They are just terrorizing millions of hard working Americans for sport. Trump and Musk are the most anti-worker public leaders America may have ever produced.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

🚨 NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went to California for a photo op against a state-federal high-speed rail project. Instead, he was drowned out by boos as crowds rallied for the project. Maybe he should focus on keeping planes in the sky instead of staging stunts for the Dear Leader.

Should you sell your Tesla? Should you stop using “X?” Should gov'ts stop supporting Starlink or Space X? Yes.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
