Elon Musk just failed to essentially buy an election with Democrats winning huge in Wisconsin

0:34.5

and what that really exposes.

0:36.0

Trump's Liberation Day tariffs are officially here

0:38.3

and who buckle up? A Corey Booker's record-breaking speech has sent shockwaves. And then some good

0:42.8
