Musk's $1M payments may or may not violate the letter of Wisconsin law, but he is clearly trying to buy an election. Regardless of what the courts do, his efforts can still be rejected at the ballot box.

"Formerly we were in the habit of saying: ‘This is right or wrong.’ Today we must ask the question: ‘What would the Führer say?’ We are under the great obligation of recognizing as a holy work of our Folk Spirit the laws signed by Adolf Hitler." -- Hans Frank, the role of lawyers and judges (1933).

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Trump commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, saying out loud, on camera, that Social Security recipients should accept missing a month's payment without complaint, and calling them criminals if they did complain, should be an inescapable political disaster.

Elon Musk is spending millions of dollars to elect Brad Schimel, a conservative judge in Wisconsin, to the State Supreme Court. If he succeeds, conservatives will retake a 4-to-3 majority and be in a position to push the state rightward on issues like abortion, labor rights and congressional maps.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
