Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?
It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps.
Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court.
Follow the money.

CDU/CSU & SPD unveiled their investment plans: A constitutional amendment is proposed to expand the defense budget, exempting spending above 1% GDP from debt brake. Additionally, a €500B special fund for infrastructure over 10 yrs planned. Bundestag vote next week! Greens & FDP still need convincing
