I’m a voter in WI. In addition to numerous text offers of $100 in the past week, I received this lucrative offer this morning, one day before our election. 🫤

The SAVE Act may as well be called the anti-voting rights act. Here’s why:
Voting Rights Act at 60: Congress Could Hit New Low with SAVE Act
The new legislation would require American citizens to produce documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.

"Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today.

With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor."

The Milwaukee Bar Association's poll shows that Judge Crawford exceeds expectations on judicial temperament, impartiality, and integrity.

In the poll, Judge Crawford handily leads Schimel in every category, while attorneys raise serious flags about Brad Schimel’s judgment.

DOGE is working *extremely hard* to keep these details under wraps. In the SSA case in MD, they refused to give the court names of its employees at SSA.
In one little noticed example, Elon Musk and DOGE have sought a rare "writ of mandamus" from the DC Circuit to block Judge Chutkan's order to reveal more details about DOGE staff and authority by April 2.

They asked for an immediate stay. No dice.

Four times in the past week, Trump has interrupted a press pool Q&A to ask, "Who are you with?"

On one occasion it was because he loved a Breitbart correspondent's puffy queries. The other three times, though, he bristled at more serious questions from more serious outlets.

The reason why congressional Republicans are so upset about the SCOTUS ruling is because now they have to actually do their job and legislate on cuts to government spending that they claim to favor, when they would much rather prefer an unelected oligarch do it for them.

Government time wasting, widespread inflation, thousands of layoffs, corporate price gouging, plummet stock market, it’s all because of them. They don’t care that the common American is suffering, they care about giving themselves tax breaks and government contracts.

They do not care about you.

This. Especially Senate Republicans.
The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.
