This is a good idea. Agree? Call the congressional switchboard tomorrow at 202-224-3121 and weigh in
At @CrookedMedia Con, @bradlander calls for Dems to immediately pass a rule banning stock trading by members of Congress, to show voters they hear them on corruption.

The 2027 Wisconsin Supreme Court election is in 150 days. A conservative candidate still has not announced, and 150 days doesn’t really tell the story.
First of all, the stakes are not low here. A Republican activist justice is retiring and so far two progressive candidates

NEW | The crucial but underrated ingredient to Democrats' massive night: running everywhere.
House Democrats will flip at least 2 if not 3 House seats they didn't bother to contest in 2024. And 2 more where candidates came back after losing blowouts.

If Democratic candidate Catina Hamm wins this race, she’ll TIE the state Senate.

Cory Mason has been a tremendous leader for Racine, through great times and periods of challenge. Our whole state owes him a debt of gratitude for standing up to bullies who wanted to undermine our democracy. Thans, @MayorCoryMason, for your friendship and your service!
Now: Racine Mayor Cory Mason will not seek reelection in April.
"It has been the honor of my professional life to represent the Racine community. After 20 years, with humility and gratitude, I believe now is the time to pass the torch of leadership on to the next generation."

Figured it was time to update my tracker, showing Wisconsin statewide elections and their margins or victory, since 2018.
Notice any trends? 😊

NEW poll: A supermajority of Jewish Americans believe Israeli & AIPAC actions increase antisemitism.
80% say Israel’s actions in Gaza & the West Bank increase antisemitism in the US.
66% say AIPAC’s campaign spending against candidates critical of Israel increases antisemitism.

Read about New Mexico's universal child care program, regardless of your social, political, religious, family, or parenting views.
Wisconsin has proposals in this direction.
(And follow Josh and Niskanen. They are brilliant and speak to every type of worldview.)

If I'm understanding this correctly, expanded childcare in NM helps lower-skilled mothers work fulltime and helps higher-skilled married mothers work less so they can get graduate degrees.
The latter does not strike me as a good use of limited funds! docs.iza.org/dp18968.pdf?ut…

Mitchell Berman is an emergency room nurse and southeast Wisconsin’s next Congressman. I saw how deeply rooted in his community he is when we were out knocking doors this week. I’m grateful that we will have his voice, values, and vision in Congress.
Tonight proves that when working people stand together, we can make a difference. As the son of a roofer and a foundry worker, a first-generation college graduate, and ER nurse, I’m honored to stand before you as your next Congressman. I know what it’s like to work hard and le in Washington understand what families like us are going through. Now, families like ours will have someone in Congress who’s on our side.
I’m so thankful to every voter, volunteer, and supporter who made this historic win possible, and to my family for all their support over the past year. I also want to thank Congressman Steil for his years of service to this district.
As the next Congressman for Wisconsin’s First District, I will bring the people of Southeast Wisconsin with me to Washington and fight every day to lower costs, fix our broken healthcare system, and end corruption in Washington. I promise to always stand up for Wisconsin families – not billionaires and big corporations.
Now let’s get to work!

Ron Johnson can’t understand why voters rejected politicians who put billionaires first.
He’s up next.

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, the only Republican in a statewide elected office come January, on last night's election results: "It's the culmination of many years of the left having infiltrated our education system, our media, so many other of our institutions."

Governor Evers started the democracy revival in Wisconsin with his victory in 2018. Now he's passing the torch to a fully blue state government that will pass the agenda he fought for—a state that does what's best for its kids—into law.

Elon Musk moving to Texas to get away from Dems, becoming the biggest partisan megadonor in history, then spending around a half-billion dollars to have his own state go blue immediately in the next election — with data centers the top gov issue — is pretty impressive
