A Republican Congressman or Congresswoman tells Politico that an "April 1st massacre" for the party in Tuesday's elections – specials in Florida 1st and 6th Districts and the state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin determining the bench's majority – would be "a beautiful thing," because, per Politico, it "would rouse congressional Republicans to the damage" Ketamine Brain "is doing and hand political capital to the lawmakers facing the most difficult races next year," lol.
Can't decide what part of that is funnier: That they're this freaked out about Musk or that they're claiming THIS is the moment and reason that they'd finally grow some balls and stand up to the Orange God Emperor after nearly a decade of failing to take him on for worse shit. The anonymous House member claims there's 26 others considered vulnerable next year who will "decide how they want to be part of the team going forward," and that are hyper-focused on Musk because "the shit he puts up on the internet" about government spending or DOGE savings "is wrong."
"Elon's work needs to wrap up, and he needs to exit stage left," another member told Politico, whose reporter Jon Martin writes "Naturally, in a reminder of the power Musk wields because of his money and ownership of X, neither Republican wanted to be identified by name… With fear of defeat, however, can come courage. Or at least a willingness to tell Speaker Mike Johnson or Trump himself in private that something must be done on Musk." Ughhhhhhhhhhh, Jesus Christ, lol.
