  1. Amanda Marcotte on Minnesota, Wisconsin election results: "Most people on the left really aren’t humorless joykills, I swear. But the right likes to elevate those that are, because they understand what a turn-off that is for most people. It distracts from policy debates, where the left has real persuasive power. People understandably don’t like being scolded. That’s also a bad look for a politician who needs to build coalitions in order to get things done. People who can charm others rather than browbeat them are a lot better at persuasion."

  2. "‘WTF is Up With These Polls?’ Experts Flummoxed by Stunning 20-Point Misfire in Wisconsin Primary"

    😂 They don't mean shit. Anyone still putting faith in them after 2016 needs to find a new religion, reality. Can't read the pulse of society with a sample of 400 people.

  3. Only 10,000 views? Have voters already made up their minds based off advertising dollars bombarding the airwaves and social media?

    I sure hope not.

    Hopefully, it means everyone already watched the debate live!

    This is the only chance to see all Democratic candidates running for Wisconsin Governor in the same room and hear them answer questions regarding how they'll govern the state.

  4. Election Assistance Commission completely gutted just before midterms, to be restocked by, yours truly, Donald J. Frump.

    I don't know what's more concerning, decapitating a commission in an effort to make those that believe its more than symbolic go totally berserk, or him converting its role of guidance into one of surveillance.

    Wake up, everyone, why do you think Captain Huey wants Hyperscalers to come online so fast? There's nobody left to keep track of the books. Until, after the fact, and then, it's a witch hunt! Kaboom! All the freaks come out of the woods, again, to fight for their Savior.

    He's already giving Wisconsin the turn of the screw, doing everything in his power to put his lackey, Tiffany, in charge of the state.

    Wrestle the stick away from him only to give it to whom? Beware giving it to a shill all the way on the other side too.

    Power to the people, ranked choice for the people, right on!

  7. @futurebird @mattsheffield the tea party started this current offshoot, gotta go way back to find a conservative with a spine to fight the machine. Robert M. La Follette, a progressive Republican. There really was such a thing! Wisconsin even had a version of ranked choice voting on the books for a couple years until the "stalwart" Republicans put an end to that fairness business.

  8. Here's another one of our Wisconsin representatives, Tom Tiffany, who also happens to be running for Governor, making the case that the justice department is just a pawn for both parties to do their dirty work rather than put an end to all the nonsense by enacting iron clad legislation that protects the American people from opportunists like him to run roughshod over everyone's rights.

    They just love leaving that wiggle room in there, don't they? What a tool.

    From CNN.com: A city responding to a lead crisis in schools reached out to the CDC for help. The agency’s lead experts were just fired

  10. Motherfucker, now I'm getting texts asking me who I voted for...

  11. 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.

  12. The Democratic-backed candidate for #WisconsinSupremeCourt defeated a challenger endorsed by #Trump & billionaire #ElonMusk, cementing a #liberal majority for at least 3 more years.

    #SusanCrawford, a Dane County judge who led legal fights to protect #union power & #abortion rights, defeated Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that broke records for spending, was on pace to be the highest-turnout #Wisconsin #SupremeCourt election ever & became a proxy for #USpol battles.

  13. Multiple outlets are calling the Wisconsin Supreme Court race for Susan Crawford; the current vote tallies aren't even close - it's a big FU to Musk and Trump.
