>> #ElonMusk Plans to Spend at Least $100 Million to Help #Republicans in the Midterms… Assume #Musk's net worth is 1 trillion. $100 million is 0.01% of 1 trillion.

If he has $100 million to meddle in elections, he is not paying enough taxes.

In another comment in 2012, possibly responding to another reader, Jackson used a report about a Democratic lawmaker obtaining a protection-from-abuse order against a fellow Democratic legislator after their breakup to take a sarcastic swipe at the #GOP, mocking the notion that #Republicans were morally above such conduct.

I mean it’s not great, but there are worse things…

#Senate candidate #Maine #Democrat #TroyJackson ran anonymous account to troll #Republicans online

In 2012, Jackson had plenty to say about Maine politics. An outspoken Democratic state lawmaker, Jackson openly feuded with then-Republican Gov Paul LePage.

But in private, Jackson also took shots at LePage anonymously.

@Nonilex Thanks to sensible independents in #Iowa and #Texas it is looking like #Republicans will *not* control the Senate when #ThomTillis and #JohnCornyn are out of office. Instead of getting the Senate to confirm a re-nominated #ToddBlanche , #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump will be dealing with an #Impeachment trial held in the #Senate.

#Resist #fascism in #USpol with a #BlueTsunami in the #midterms.

#Trump said Thursday he may pull the nomination of #ToddBlanche for Attorney General, looking to avoid concessions to holdout #Republicans. Lawmakers on Wednesday scrapped a planned committee vote after key Republicans demanded more assurances about the “settlement” of Trump’s lawsuit against the #IRS.

That would give the Trump admin 3 AGs in less than 2 years.

The reasons for creating the #SlushFund, #ToddBlanche told lawmakers, “remain as important as they were before.”

[Cornyn & Thillis better stay strong & yovte against this confirming this corrupt lickspittle. More #Republicans should be against him!]

The “settlement” for Paul Vaughn, who was #convicted by a Tennessee jury in 2024 of conspiring to prevent access to an #abortion clinic, shows how the goal of the $1.8 billion fund announced in May can continue, despite a public retreat by #ToddBlanche [& a court order]. An already existing avenue for disbursing #TaxpayersMoney could allow him to assuage skeptical #Republicans while fulfilling #Trump’s desire to pay people he believes were wronged by the #DOJ.

#Trump invoked the #FifthAmendment nearly 450 times in the #NYAG’s civil probe of his fraudulent business practices (he was found liable).

Trump answered only one question, about his name, during the 4-hour deposition.

So all the #Republicans saying Dr. #Fauci is doing something wrong by exercising his Constitutional rights can shove it.

The hearing is supposed to be about investigating the origins of the #coronavirus, but #Republicans are largely using it to attack & disparage Dr. #Fauci personally, trying to paint a picture of him as pursuing fame & money at Americans’ expense, & mocking him for taking the #FifthAmendment.

Senator #BernieMoreno, Republican of Ohio, says aloud one main consequence of today’s hearing: It will produce video clips that Republicans can use to campaign. -Sick🤬

Early in the hearing, #RandPaul warned that there would be “repercussions” for Dr. Fauci’s refusal to testify, & then ordered the REMOVAL of his lawyer‼️, David Schertler, when he tried to speak up on his client’s behalf. The hearing, unusual even by the #Senate’s recent hyperpartisan standards, also featured #ConspiracyTheories & personal attacks, with #Republicans taunting Dr. #Fauci as a megalomaniac & a liar.

@DemocracyMattersALot Those same #Republicans led by #Trump are doing all in their power to discredit and or distort the outcome of the mid-terms. Watch your collective backs.
