Governor Evers just announced that he won’t be seeking a third term in 2026. Wisconsin owes him a profound debt of gratitude—one of the kindest, most decent, and most public-spirited people I've ever met, in or out of politics. 🧵 youtube.com/watch?v=b0_45u…
It took until after the vote was done, but Derrick Van Orden is finally telling the truth about the Republican Tax Scam.
So, this shows that @derrickvanorden knows that the bill he is going to vote for will decimate rural hospitals and kick 150,000 Wisconsininites off their Medicaid -- and instead of just VOTING NO, he is asking the Gov to help try to fix it? Some serious Chutzpah.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden urges Gov Evers to sign state budget before President Trump signs the ‘big, beautiful bill’ to ensure state changes requiring more from hospital for Medicaid funding can be enacted

"It's encouraging & it's refreshing. I like to see someone who steps in, who is not afraid to be able to go into a traditionally red county & just hear what people are thinking." More on @RobSandIA's visit to Exira yesterday to talk water supply 👇 desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
“Let’s go to a graveyard,” someone thought of the Ernst response video. “Let’s record this while walking over real, dead human bodies.”

Just one example of why @crawfordforwi was an incredible candidate who was able to connect with voters and win: "Crawford was in command of the room, nimble in responding to questions, providing substantive answers that went well beyond the headlines and the ads."
I was at the War Memorial Center in Milwaukee on March 4 and there, something clicked for Susan Crawford. A few days later, she'd trounce Brad Schimel in the lone debate. Less than a month later, she'd win by double digits. Credit to candidate Crawford. therecombobulationarea.news/p/susan-crawfo…
