โ€œTesla Takedownโ€ protests went national on Saturday. People are done with Elon Musk and know this as the way to send a message he canโ€™t ignore.

Take this energy to every electionโ€”everywhere.

Brad Schimel wants to bring back the 1849 law that bans all abortions with no exceptions.

He let domestic abusers walk with no jail time.

And heโ€™s the one who let 6,000 rape kits sit untested for two years.

Thatโ€™s Brad Schimel. Too extreme for WI. VOTE Susan Crawford.

Senator Chris Van Hollen: "The real lunatic here is Marco Rubio trampling over peopleโ€™s First Amendment rights. It is shameful that an individual who says his family was the victim of an authoritarian regime would send hooded agents to disappear people because of controversial speech."

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasnโ€™t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

Iโ€™ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

This morning, @votersoftomorrow.org called for Gov. Hochul to remove Eric Adams as mayor of New York City.

Adams is corrupt and compromised. He traded immunity from the law for betraying his constituents. He is not fit to be mayor.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.
