if Musk is doing this for London crime, what do you think he is doing for content about American politics, an issue that affects him much more directly?

This is a really big deal: a union leader wins in Texas.. and beats a billionaire backed candidate who led anti public school culture wars…. .h/t @zephcapo.bsky.social
HUGE TEXAS UNION WIN: @iamunion.bsky.social leader Taylor Rehmet was just elected to the Texas Senate! This win kicks off a wave of union candidates across the state.

While parties are trying to reconnect with the working class, we’re running union members up and down the ballot — and winning. ✊

A few broader thoughts:

1) This election happened, period.

2) It happened in Texas, no less.

3) It happened even though Trump himself took an intense interest in winning it.

If Trump could cancel elections or ordain their outcomes, then why didn't he do that tonight?
BREAKING: Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet just won a *massive* landslide to flip a deep-red Senate district. He's up by 14 points in a Trump+17 seat—an overperformance of more than 30 points.

How did he do it? Here's our full writeup:

Something Trump never counted on was how many people were going to become well-versed in politics who never really paid much attention before. I’m guilty of knowing who I needed to vote for in my state and which president I wanted to vote for but other than that, I didn’t know much about politics.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Corruption is the force that’s defining Trump’s collapse—the golden plane, the crypto billions, the corrupt pardons

He’s serving himself, not the American people

Trump can’t remember what part of his body got an MRI … but he’s very sure it was “perfect.”

The Trump administration is clearly anxious about tomorrow’s special election in Tennessee’s 7th District. Their rally was essentially a gathering of the MAGA elite in Tennessee. Donors, state representatives, five members of Congress, the governor, and then-Speaker Mike Johnson all flew in.

Protesters in NYC forced ICE to leave during a raid over the weekend. Many of the protestors who joined in just happened to be in the area and without question joined the efforts to block ICE from carrying out their raid that day. It worked. Fuck yeah New York City, I love you!

Trump keeps telling his MAGA supporters that he’s NOT doing this for himself.

$Billions in his pockets and tons of parties ($1 million per person to attend) say otherwise.

He’s been a corrupt lying bully and businessman his entire life.

This second strike episode, wherever it leads, epitomizes the Trump presidency.
Lying.
Blaming subordinates.
No respect for Congress.

Rachel Maddow is showing videos from across the country of people protesting, showing up, boycotting and being the sand in the gears. It's making me emotional and filling me with HOPE.

This is how we win, we keep the pressure on, we rest when we need and show up ready to fight back.
