Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?

It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps.Β 

Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line β€” a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court.

Follow the money.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Opinion | Trump Is Breaking Things We Can’t Just Fix The president’s about-face on Ukraine has taught our allies a lesson they won’t be unlearning anytime soon.

American elections could reset our national security strategy, but they did not change our bedrock alliances. They did not change our fundamental identity.

Until now. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/o...

TONIGHT! CM Punk comes to the ring on Raw with a Chicago Teachers Union shirt. Given former WWE CEO Linda McMahon’s new Trump gig destroying the dept of ed, given her anti-union past, given the CTU’s history defending public schools, this is πŸ”₯. β€˜CM’ stands for β€œChicago Made” and that’s real af.

Donald Trump has declared the U.S. is in a β€œnational-energy emergency.” β€œThe actual emergency, obviously, is with the climate,” @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

Anyone looking to ban a book from a school should have to prove they read it by presenting a book report to the school committee.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

A government run by billionaires will never be for the people.
