When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 12, also known as NGC 2608. NGC 2608 is a barred spiral galaxy. Its arms are peppered by blue star clusters and red star forming regions and crossed by brown dust lanes. Credit: ESA, NASA, A. Riess et al. Source
A face-on barred spiral galaxy fills most of the frame. It has a yellow central core and horizontal bar structure. Attached to the bar are several spiral arms which originate at the end of the bar and spiral clockwise. The arms are somewhat squished, so the galaxy appears oval-shaped, longer than it is tall. There are two foreground stars with diffraction spikes, one right above the core of the galaxy and one to the lower right. The black background of space is dotted with numerous tiny, distant galaxies.

The US has at least 33 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include Alaska, Hawai’i, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 33 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, South Carolina and Oklahoma likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor.
