Brad Schimel told WI voters he'd be apolitical & wouldn't show bias toward Trump in the courtroom, & then spent days touting his endorsement. 🙄 Know a Wisconsinite? Reach out & give 'em a heads up! 🔥Many are unaware of this TIGHT April 1 election! 1/ wisconsinindependent.com/politics/tru...

Elon Musk is trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court so he can continue to rig the system for Trump & the billionaire class. 2026 is huge, but 2025 is right now. Wisconsin votes on Tuesday & if we don’t show up, he wins. Support Judge Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court #JudgeSusanCrawford

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

One thing I can’t get out of my head is that zelensky speaks English as a foreign language and then you have these two arrogant men just shouting over him. Really primal, schoolyard bully stuff.

What does this easy-to-read high-speed rail map tell you about travelling in #France (and beyond)? Sustained investment in sustainable electric inter-city transport actually pays off. Levels of hassle-free mobility + freedom North Americans can only dream of. larstransportmaps.com/2025/02/23/h...

@rbreich.bsky.social: “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.”

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

In the 90s, when everyone was excited about the "Information superhighway" and how it would change the world, who knew the final exit ramp would be Willful Ignorance? We have wasted the chance to be better. We just chose the dumbest possible outcome. Twice.

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.

Authoritarians use manufactured crisis to consolidate power. This is exactly what we are watching take shape in the United States. Once you understand this, crashing the economy makes sense. open.substack.com/pub/nadinabb...

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.
