Spending tens of millions of dollars on a Wisconsin Supreme Court judge that didn’t win seems an awful lot like waste, fraud, and abuse to me.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos
The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

The Trump administration accidentally shared sensitive war plans about a strike on Yemen through a Signal chat, which was unintentionally joined by The Atlantic's editor. The chat included real-time updates about the operation, like the timing of airstrikes and details about the targets.

RFK Jr. just slashed 10,000 public health jobs in the middle of a measles outbreak. He calls it “realignment.” I call it sabotage. The new ‘Healthy Again’ agenda is gutting science and betting on vitamins over vaccines. This won’t end in health—it’ll end in crisis.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

If buying a presidency wasn’t enough……..
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

Musk and Trump have contributed to a rise in death threats and intimidation against judges. In Charleston, S.C., police were dispatched to the home of one of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s sisters after a threat claimed a pipe bomb had been placed in her mailbox.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP.
There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.
