Probably not, but it would be a question of Wisconsin state law. A law that would be decided by . . . the judge Elon is running against. LOL.Musk is offering $100 to every person that signs a petition against a judge. Is that legal? I suppose it is since a public petition is useless in a court of law.
I'm hopeful Wisconsites will be incensed over this hijacking and attempted purchase of their election and angrily vote against Musk.Probably not, but it would be a question of Wisconsin state law. A law that would be decided by . . . the judge Elon is running against. LOL.
I have trouble believing this judicial race will be close. The MAGAs are dispirited and loyal only to Trump.
Ron Johnson says hello, I keep getting elected to the Senate by Wisconsinites! Can you believe it?I'm hopeful Wisconsites will be incensed over this hijacking and attempted purchase of their election and angrily vote against Musk.
Yeah he barely barely won against a black guy whose skin they darkened in ads, and that was in a good environment for him.Ron Johnson says hello, I keep getting elected to the Senate by Wisconsinites! Can you believe it?
I don't believe this. The numbers seem implausibly large. I think this is the blue dye the administration is using to identify leaks.![]()
IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA

The Post reports today that the IRS’ internal projections estimate that the DOGE-driven disruptions to the IRS since the inauguration are on track to have reduced tax receipts by more than $500 billion by April 15th. This, to be clear, is not a final tally. It’s not April 15th yet. It’s a projection based on historical data, the number of people who’ve filed, paid owed amounts of tax, etc. It’s worth taking a moment to put this number into some context in case half a trillion dollars doesn’t do it for you. Non-defense discretionary spending is the cost to fund the U.S. government once you take out mandatory spending (mostly Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid) and the cost of the U.S. military. For 2023 that number was $917 billion. So that’s most of the stuff we think of as the government, apart from those payment programs and the military. In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending.
I could see the IRS claiming that. They believe that the more manpower and budget they have, the better it is for the country. So, they would certainly be motivated to calculate the loss that way.I don't believe this. The numbers seem implausibly large. I think this is the blue dye the administration is using to identify leaks.
Blue dye theory is interesting.I don't believe this. The numbers seem implausibly large. I think this is the blue dye the administration is using to identify leaks.
It's what I was thinking about the "Musk gets briefing on China war plans" and the appearance of this memo around the same time reinforces my intuition.Blue dye theory is interesting.
