Groups tied to Elon Musk have already spent more than $4.2 million on the Wisconsin Supreme Court raceβ€”a clear sign that his plans for oligarchy extend well beyond Washington.

One fifth of adults under 65 and half of all children in rural areas get their health insurance via Medicaid. The Kool-Aid Republican legislators drank is going to kill their constituents.

$25B for the Blackwater thug to set up a private Army and Air Force answerable only to Trump with powers to arrest other private citizens and imprison them on military bases. Doesn't sound very American.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

620 days until the midterms.
That's a lotta days. At this point it feels conceivable that we may not even have elections in 620 days.
