Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Canadians don’t hate Americans—we just hate your golden-shower-loving rapist president, his ketamine-addicted shadow, your corrupt politicians, and the bigots who voted for them. The rest of you are still like family. 🇨🇦 ♥️ 🇺🇸 (Except Tom Cruise—we can’t stand that weird gremlin)

McConnell really had an awful final act. Could have retired at age 78 in 2020, gone out on top locking in the conservative SCOTUS. Stuck around for four years of Biden judicial confirmations, followed by two years of Trump making fun of him and memes of him falling down and glitching.

Trump is broadening his pardons of J6 criminals who tried to kill VP Pence and injured some police so badly they were forced to retire. In particular gun charges are now covered. We have a pro-violent criminals president: apple.news/ATiXJFDLmQlm...

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Elon Musk just moved ANOTHER $1 MILLION into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. That brings Musk’s spending on behalf of a right-wing takeover of the court to 2.5 MILLION over one week. This is a major intervention in state politics—and the fight for control of the judiciary—by the world’s richest man.

WI Dems really revving up the "Elon trying to buy this race" messaging - given his bad polling, was a seven-figure buy worth the opportunity cost?

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has a 4-3 progressive majority that supports the rule of law and respects the state and national Constitutions. Elon Musk is spending 1.5 million — so far — to flip the court and establish a pro-corporate, pro-billionaire majority of right-wing judicial activists.

@raskin.house.gov: "In that network of rightwing billionaire libertarian-turned-authoritarians, they are very open about the fact that they think democracy is obsolete, we're living in a post-Constitutional America, and they are trying to get everyone ready for a technostate monarchy."
