Dear Wisconsin,
Elon Musk is buying another election.
This time it’s a seat on your state Supreme Court.
If we are ever going to defeat the oligarchy, it starts with rejecting their self-serving agenda at the ballot box.
Get out there and vote.
Elbows up.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Our elected officials work for US. They have a duty to listen to us and answer our questions and serve our interests, NOT THEIRS.
GOP reps love your vote, but not your voice. They’re dodging town halls faster than Trump dodged the draft. Demand answers!

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

1/2 America elected the First Felon of the United States. My heart is heavy as decency and the rule of law means nothing to him. We need to be ready to resist and support those who will bravely push back against the harm he will do.

Um… this is not good. Not good at all.
Turner is one of the most pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin Republicans and as intelligence chair has access to the gritty details of what our adversaries are up to.
This is an intra-party purge in the service of opponents of our democracy — and a preview of what’s coming when Trump takes power in five days.
