"And earlier he choked up on Fox News talking about the protests against Tesla and the impact it's having on the company's valuation. Both these things demonstrate the limits of his power and the scope of our power. The Tesla protests are working. People have the power."

"Elon Musk has helpfully just proven how resistible power is, or the folly of confusing mountains of money with outright power. He had an apparent meltdown last night over his failure to buy the Wisconsin supreme court election, in which his candidate didn't just lose but lost in a landslide."

Schön, dass man nicht alles kaufen kann. So muss es jetzt, bis zu den #Midtermwahlen, weitergehen.
Aber die #Demokraten sind noch viel zu lahm. Das ist noch keine echte #Resistance. #ChuckSchumer kann #Trump nicht einfach aussitzen.

“The perception that there has been less activism in 2025 is simply wrong, a function of lazy and shuttered corporate- and billionaire journalism. The Harvard Crowd Counting Consortium noted that in 2025 “our research shows that street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest.” In fact, “since 22 January, we’ve seen more than twice as many street protests than took place during the same period eight years ago.”” #resist #resistance #uspol #uspolitics

Heather Cox Richardson Elections 4/1/2025

Heather Cox Richardson Elections 4/1/2025

The people spoke today in special elections. Republican candidates in Florida won by about 14 points in each of two U.S. House races, but just five months ago, Republicans won those seats by 30 and 37 points. It appears that voters are angry at the Republican Party.

In Wisconsin, the state supreme court race showed a similar dynamic. The candidate endorsed by President Trump and backed by more than $20 million from Elon Musk, lost the race to his opponent, circuit court judge Susan Crawford. Musk had campaigned in the state for Crawford's opponent, handing out two $1 million checks and saying that the election could determine “the future of America and Western Civilization.”

Crawford won by about 10 points.

“As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls,” Crawford said in her victory speech, "I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.”

Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” 4/1/2025

Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” “It is time to heed the words of the man | began this whole thing with: John Lewis. | beg folks to take his example of his early days when he made himself determined to show his love for his country at a time the country didn’t love him, to love this country so much, to be such a patriot that he endured beatings, savagely, on the Edmund Pettus bridge, at lunch counters, on freedom rides. He said he had to do something. He would not normalize a moment like this. He would not just go along with business as usual. He wouldn't know how to solve it, but there's one thing that he would do, that | hope we all can do, that | think | did a little bit of tonight.

“He said for us to go out and cause some good trouble, necessary trouble, to redeem the soul of our nation. | want you to redeem the dream.... Let's be bolder in America with a vision that inspires with hope. It starts with the people of the United States of America— that's how this country started: ‘We the people. Let's get back to the ideals that others are threatening, let's get back to our founding documents.... Those imperfect geniuses had some very special words at the end of the Declaration of Independence...when our founders said we must mutually pledge, pledge to each other ‘our lives, our fortunes, and our Sacred Honor! We need that now from all Americans. This is a moral moment. It's not left or right, it's right or wrong.

“Let's get in good trouble.

Heather Cox Richardson Corey Booker Makes “Good Trouble”

Heather Cox Richardson Corey Booker Makes “Good Trouble”
Today Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) made history.
For more than 25 hours he held the floor of the Senate, not reading from the phone book or children’s literature, as some of his predecessors have done, but delivering a coherent, powerful speech about the meaning of America and the ways in which the Trump regime is destroying our democracy.On the same day that John Hudson of the Washington Postreported that members of Donald Trump's National Security Council, including national security advisor Michael Waltz, have been skirting presidential records laws and exposing national security by using Gmail accounts to conduct government business, and the same day that mass layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services gutted the Centers for Disedase Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Booker launched a full-throated defense of the United States of America.Booker began his marathon speech at 7:00 on the evening of March 31 with little fanfare. In a video recorded before he began, he sdid that he had “been hearing from people from all over my state and indeed all over the nation calling upon folks in Congress to do more, to do things that recognize the urgency—the crisis—of the moment. And so we dll have a responsibility, | believe to do something different to cause, ds John Lewis said, good trouble, and that includes me.”

"In some states, it is illegal to give water to voters waiting in line to vote, but Musk can give $50 for someone waving a photo of his preferred candidate. His preference for money shows a deep distrust of democracy, assuming the best way to shape it is by paying voters rather than by the power of ideas.
