🚨 Brad Schimel sees himself as the linchpin of the MAGA agenda in Wisconsin, stating, “Donald Trump doesn’t do this by himself; there has to be a support network around it.” We need a justice who upholds fairness & the rule of law—not tyranny! ✅ Vote—Judge Susan Crawford by 4/1. #StopShadySchimel

NPR and PBS are being grilled by the House DOGE Subcommittee this a.m., which is chaired by MTG. Both orgs are nonpartisan and have enjoyed bipartisan support over the years. Nonetheless, the Trump admin is targeting them for their accurate, but unfavorable headlines. www.rmpbs.org/blogs/busine...

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

I happen to have friends with diabetes, cancer, and MS too. This includes my friend’s young daughter who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I’m fighting against the Republicans who want to strip the ACA protections they need so they can continue to get lifesaving care. #ACASavesLives

People with chronic illnesses like diabetes or MS need healthcare services that often exceed annual limits. Without ACA protections, they’ll be left without treatment. The ACA Saves Lives, but Republicans want to end these protections. Do you have friends/family with diabetes, cancer, or MS? I do!

Significant evidence suggests that anti-Tesla protests that encourage physical violence are being driven by bad actors aiming to accelerate violence and martial law. The public should engage in economic boycott and anti-Tesla information operations, but AVOID physical engagement.

Let me explain what's happening

Democracy Died@democracydied.bsky.social

There is no "constitutional crisis." What's happening is actual sedition. You see, there's no good faith dispute between different branches of government. What's happening is that enemies of the state storm government buildings with use of force and with the intent to illegally destroy these.

Since when?

Rep. Andy Biggs: "Trying to influence and intimidate Elon Musk and trying to stop President Trump's policies, that is domestic terrorism ... and when you are advocating for that kind of violence, that also is domestic terrorism."

Having already spent over $7M backing the right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against "activist judges." This is what a broken campaign finance system looks like.

Stanstead, Quebec is calling out what it says is a unilateral decision by US authorities to close Canadian access to Haskell Free Library and Opera House that straddles the Canada-U.S. border. It has become a symbol of cross-border unity and opportunity for separated families to unite

Horrifying: After the contract tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia was terminated, the underlying evidence of these potential war crimes seems to be missing, a bipartisan group of Reps just charged in letter to Rubio. Two GOPers signed. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1929...

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

Turns out that most people like society to be lawful, safe and predictable. Some can cope with chaos and enjoy it almost. Most can’t.

Based on literally everything else that he's said/done this means he's used autopen and has signed tons of pardons that he didn't know about. Every conservative accusation is an admission of guilt.
