“Tesla Takedown” protests went national on Saturday. People are done with Elon Musk and know this as the way to send a message he can’t ignore.

Take this energy to every election—everywhere.

Brad Schimel wants to bring back the 1849 law that bans all abortions with no exceptions.

He let domestic abusers walk with no jail time.

And he’s the one who let 6,000 rape kits sit untested for two years.

That’s Brad Schimel. Too extreme for WI. VOTE Susan Crawford.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

This morning, @votersoftomorrow.org called for Gov. Hochul to remove Eric Adams as mayor of New York City.

Adams is corrupt and compromised. He traded immunity from the law for betraying his constituents. He is not fit to be mayor.

This is deeply disturbing. Minnesota stands with our LGBTQ neighbors against this unthinkable crime.
