All Wonky

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Amid all the Republican pearl-clutching over election integrity, ERIC was the single organization best equipped to help states ensure exactly that. And suddenly MAGA Republicans wanted nothing to do with it.

“Nobody invokes the Insurrection Act over people walking down the street with signs. It doesn't happen.” 🙄 Trump and his allies are *openly* floating using the Insurrection Act to seize voting machines or ballots in order to upend an election they expect to lose.

A political group claiming to rally Democrats behind a Republican Senate candidate drew an embarrassingly thin crowd panned by critics.

Elon Musk said on Saturday that his company SpaceX had throttled the Starlink satellite internet service in Ukraine, disrupting operations that the country relies on to defend itself against Russia.

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

In case you missed it, read our investigation and explore our database of all incidents where citizens were detained:

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.

It’s hard to underestimate how much Barack has always done to help our country. Ten years out of office, and he’s still doing rallies and appearances to help. He must deserves a restful retirement, but he still keeps showing up when needed. Unlike W, who sits it out while our country burns.

Why doesn’t @christinahines.bsky.social just flat-out call Bouchard a “nepo baby” in her ads? It’s true and fair. He’s totally coasting on his daddy’s name and reputation.

I love Josh Turek. How can the Iowa senate race even be close???

Following a briefing in June 2025 to inform President Donald Trump that his name was in the Epstein files, the Department of Justice and the FBI quietly issued a joint memo that shook the administration to its foundation.

This regime protects murderers.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

I can think of a few things I need to report. 1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam 2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters 3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

Thousands of Protesters in DC march for “No Kings” and early voting.

#NoKings in Teaneck, New Jersey (with some @indivisiblenj5.bsky.social ) go VOTE!

#NoKings in front of my building today and this is perfect since Putin’s stooge has spent the last week and last night selling out Ukraine and enabling the killing of innocent civilians by his pimp in Moscow.

Venice, Florida understood the assignment!

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa said Zuckerberg did the same thing in the Philippines. Crooked billionaire tech bros.

No Kings should switch to Bluesky... away from that disgusting Nazi and Trump sympathizer, Mark Zuckerberg.

👇❗🤬

Meta froze the No Kings accounts at peak mobilization. All that free speech cosplay, and the switch got flipped the second the protest got too big. They are terrified of organized people. Keep organizing.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

Reminder that meta staunchly refuses to kick off libs of TikTok, an account that has been responsible for actual terrorism

Fascists help fascists.

Daniel Pemberton and David Byrne wrote a song about Elon Musk for Alex Gibney's documentary. TikTok took it down and canceled the entire account for the film. So Pemberton encouraged those of us lucky enough to see him perform today to share it. youtu.be/WAvdN-JSUFU?...

I am sure free speech champion Elon Musk and all the other free speech champions in MAGA land will denounce this.
