Trump’s CIA Director Blames Biden Team For Allowing Communications On Signal App
Officials in the former president’s administration, though, said they never used the app for classified information — and certainly never for war plans.
Standard MAGA approach. Blame Biden.

So Musk will give EACH Wisconsin voter who signs his petition $100 To sign, Then if they refer a person and that person signs the petition then the person who referred them gets ANOTHER $100.
And nowEvery Other Day a person who signed the petition will be drawn to receive $1 MILLION
This IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE IDEA...this is straight up oligarchy. The GOP has become an Oligarchy...plain and simple
Elon Musk hands offering $1 MILLION every other day to Wisconsin in desperate attempt to flip Wisconsin’s Supreme Court
Elon Musk handed out $1 million to a voter in a desperate bid to flip Wisconsin’s Supreme Court in favor of the GOP.
“Exciting to announce our first million-dollar award for supporting our petition against activist judges in Wisconsin! Next million dollar award will be announced in 2 days”, the world’s richest man posted on X late Wednesday.
The donation is Musk’s latest gesture as he seeks to garner signatures for an America PAC petition opposing “activist judges” ahead of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1.
The open seat race will decide which party controls the Supreme Court in the Badger state, a major battleground. More broadly, it could be viewed as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s first two months in office.
A statement on the petition site read: “Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas.”
It also comes as Tesla is battling the state of Wisconsin in court over laws prohibiting vehicle manufacturers from selling cars to consumers directly.
The New York Times reports that the lawsuit was filed in January, just days before Musk splurged cash into the race.
As it stands, the Supreme Court is ruled by Democratic Party justices.
Both Musk and Trump are standing firmly behind Republican Judge Brad Schimel in the race as he goes head-to-head against Democrat Susan Crawford.
Schimel, a Republican, is a circuit court judge and previously served as the state’s former attorney general.
Musk is intensifying his efforts to swing the race red by piling over $20 million into Schimel’s campaign.
Schimel even appeared alongside the DOGE lead in a social media livestream on Saturday and was endorsed by Trump last week.
“All Voters who believe in Common Sense should GET OUT TO VOTE EARLY for Brad Schimel,” Trump posted on his social media site Truth Social.
The $1 million payment represents a sizable increase on Musk’s other offer of an instant $100 for every petition signee, with a further $100 if they persuade another person to sign.
Musk's latest tactic ahead of the Wisconsin election is to pour surprise donations into the bank accounts of petition signers (America PAC)
America PAC, Musk’s political action committee, announced the lucky receiver as Scott A, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, writing that he was “the first $1 Million spokesperson for signing our petition.”
The post then teased the idea that there would be “more surprise announcements” in the upcoming five days.
Flamboyant donations are becoming an archetypal trait of the Tesla billionaire as he continues to ramp up his political engagement. He is also trusted with significant responsibilities and works alongside Trump as a key White House adviser.
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared that Musk’s “tech team” was being deployed to investigate Signalgate alongside the National Security Council and the White House Counsel’s Office.

So I'm confused. The petition is to say something about judges ruling based on text of law vs their feelings - pretty broad and unenforcable even if enacted. Paying for petition signatures nullifies the petition doesn't it, not that this petition means anything anyway.So Musk will give EACH Wisconsin voter who signs his petition $100 To sign, Then if they refer a person and that person signs the petition then the person who referred them gets ANOTHER $100.

Does it tie to a pledge to vote a certain way? That's how he's getting around it this time, not that it would matter. He wouldn't get any punishment anyway. So people can sign his petition, take his money and then ignore it and vote your mind. Not that it makes it ok trying to buy votes AGAIN.

What are tariffs, why is Trump using them, and will prices rise?
Tariffs are a central part of Trump's political vision, but economists fear they could spark a trade war.

I don’t at all like tariffs. But something should occur on auto tariff disparity that Euro applies to US vehicles. At some point, previous administrations became okay with trade tariff imbalances. Europe currently charges 4x more on auto tariffs than US currently does. When Trump first mentioned the 30% tariff there appeared to be plans to lower the current tariff Europe imposes to match the US tariff (Feb article below), but that appears to have stalled.Germany says it 'will not give in' as Trump announces 25% car tariffs

EU Unilateral Auto Tariff Offer To U.S. Might Shelter Its Car Makers
The EU is ready to slash tariffs on U.S. auto imports. A former U.S. envoy expects the U.S. to seek big overall changes to tariffs, and unfair non-tariff barriers.

NOW YOU WANT THE POWER BACK YOU VOTED TO GIVE AWAY!!??
GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."
