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. 

Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — 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.

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

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 🔥. ‘CM’ stands for “Chicago Made” and that’s real af.

Donald Trump has declared the U.S. is in a “national-energy emergency.” “The actual emergency, obviously, is with the climate,” @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

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
