Elon Musk admitted why he’s spending $18 million & paying voters $100 a pop to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court. It’s all about keeping GOP gerrymandering advantage in US House. If Dems retake House they can investigate Musk, DOGE & his $38 billion in govt contracts www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

I just finished the book "Chain-Gang All-Stars" and absolutely recommend it to everyone. It is such an important book for people to read.

I will mention that parts of it are a very tough read emotionally, but it is so well written and fast paced.

The incident is under investigation, but authorities do not believe the men were actually associated with DOGE. If you are in local government and encounter a similar situation, please contact authorities directly, as was done in this case.
