18 U.S. Code Β§ 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

How does this not violate 18 US Code 597? This puts not only Musk in violation but the person who accepts the money as well www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Musk PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters who sign petition against 'activist judges' The petition asks voters to reject "activist judges who impose their own views."

Elon is out there paying people to sign a petition. Just a little bribery, nothing to see here.

Rubio’s position seems to be:

- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

I’m sure many of these men are criminals that have done terrible things but under our Constitution they still have the right to due process. I’m all for deporting gang members and people that have been convicted of a crime but they still have to follow the legal process.

State-sponsored kidnapping

The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvadorβ€”in defiance of a court order.

Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definitionβ€”kidnapping.

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support Changes could break the system, former officials say.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling β€œterrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

I get what you’re saying but they had no input in this bill, at least they could’ve tried using the leverage they had to fix or add things to it.

Don't let Senate Minority Leader

Veterans are marching across the nation tomorrow, March 14th, to protect their rights.

We must help protect them as they protect us.

Call your Democratic senators and ask them not to cave to the MAGAs demands.

They work for us. Make your voices heard!

Find their number on the thread below.

What voters could they possibly lose at this point? Do they really think there are independents or center-left voters sitting at home that are still on the fence? There’s pretty much nothing the Dems could do at this point that would cause them to lose votes.
