Three Wins Today Feb 8, 2025
Bonus win is definitely that I finished my guide for elections this coming week. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you really should 👇🏻
Anyway, onto the actual wins
Obama appointed Judge, Paul Engelmeyer temporarily blocked Musk and his freshman 15 from accessing the Treasury Department payment system, and, as an added bonus
immediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Department’s records and systems, if any
It’s also worth mentioning that the Blue State AGs filed this last night, and this order was in before people on the west coast even woke up.
Dems on the New York Legislature introduced a bill that would delay the election to fill Elise Stefanik’s soon-to-be-vacant NY-21 seat till November.
Governor Hochul recently argued in favor of the idea saying:
I’ll tell you what a very short time frame does: It favors people who are already elected officials versus a citizen who wants to run because there’s a lot involved in this. So you’re actually denying more opportunities for people to run who don’t already hold elected office.
The reality is the seat will likely stay Republican, though given what happened in IA State SD 35, anything is possible. So by delaying the election, we keep the Republican majority on seat smaller.
And look, Republicans just pulled this in Minnesota State HD 40, so it’s our turn now.
3. Even if you didn’t hear about them, there were protests all over the country today. From Florida to California.
Salt Lake City, UT
Columbia, South Carolina
Oakland, California
