The targeting of state supreme courts by special interests and billionaires can leave the public with the impression that justices are no different than any politician: devoted to serving their political allies, court observers say.

Musk pays people to vote in #Wisconsin, which is against the law. https://www.thedailybeast.com/musks-pac-quietly-deletes-video-of-wisconsin-woman-saying-she-was-paid-to-vote/ #uspol

Earlier this week, all American eyes were on Wisconsin as two judges duked it out for a seat on the state’s supreme court — a race that Elon Musk poured millions into. @bolts’s Alex Burness wrote the definitive story on what happened and what it all means. “Today should be a breaking point for our state. Even if your preferred candidate wins, … every single Wisconsinite should be alarmed at this grotesque billionaire arms race,” Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Center, told Bolts late Tuesday, before the result was announced. “The past two months have shown us a terrifying preview of what’s coming: an America where billionaires run the show, and the rest of us are just spectators.”

“ #Wisconsin recipient of $1m from #Musk was active in Republican campaigning.

Nicholas Jacobs was immersed in party activities, even working to elect the Musk-favored candidate who lost.”

Wisconsin is showing that Americans can't be bought! Congrats to Justice-elect Susan Crawford, and a huge thank you to the Americans abroad who made their voices heard! #DemocratsAbroad #Wisconsin

Come to think of it, didn't Putin throw a few oligarchs out the window and then just take their stuff (via the Russian state) back in the day?

Why wouldn't Trump do the same to Elon?

"You've er, become a 'liability' my friend...some people from the Justice Department, MY Justice Department to see you..."
And the Trump fans applaud the President who fired the guy who screwed up their benefits cheque. (Not that anyone will fix it)

There’s so much GOP cope happening today.

“At least #Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat”

Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015.

You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

@GottaLaff

#wisconsin has been hanging fire on a gerrymandering issue. If we Dems get redistricting, which we should have gotten under Clarke et al. v. Wisconsin Elections Commission et al. - Wisconsin would have never gone for Trump

2/ LOL!!!

" #Musk said #Wisconsin would decide the fate of Western civilization. Now he says he ‘expected to lose.’

The Musk-backed Brad Schimel got thumped Tuesday night."

Wisconsin voters elected Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday, maintaining the court's 4-3 liberal majority in a setback for U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who backed her conservative rival. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/02/world/politics/wisconsin-supreme-court-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #donaldtrump #congress #wisconsin #florida #republicans #democrats

Crawford wins in #Wisconsin!

Loser says what?

#ElonMusk is so full of crap, he claims that the #Wisconsin #VoterID requirement on the ballot “was the most important thing.”

It literally was already required of Wisconsin voters, the amendment merely codified it.

They are incapable of admitting when they lose.
