Feels like the natural (and dystopian) end point of the ever increasing levels of money involved at all stages of US politics
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Most Democrats somehow don't recognize that there is enormous unmet appetite for anyone to show leadership, stop rolling over, and stand up to Trump/Musk, regardless of whether they're on the left or the right of the party
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
