Opioids ravaged WI. As AG @BradSchimel refused to sue opioid kingpin Purdue Pharma after being only state candidate in WI history to get a Purdue Pharma PAC check. 71 of 72 counties passed resolutions begging him to hold Purdue accountable. Schimel was the top cop on the take.

In a few months, we have the chance to begin turning the tide. We start in the state that was a rare bright spot in this election: Wisconsin. Keep this race on your radar, because this is how the momentum swings back in our favor.

I have tried to stress that the school voucher push—nothing short of a new religious separatism in American education—is fundamental to every other right-wing political priority from health care to (below) defense.

Appearing on a Christian nationalist podcast last night, Pete Hegseth said he's creating a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" across the nation. peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

calling it right now, 2024 was the year of slop. it's the year slop took over every facet of culture. google became slop. slop drowned out journalism. not just ai slop–there were slop games like Concord. movie slop like Borderlands. we let a slop ceo get a slop president elected

Let’s not let this get lost in confusion: this is about Charles Myadze.

“No one who harasses or abuses women should be in a leadership position at any level of government. While such behavior may be normalized elsewhere, I would hope that in Madison we have higher standards."  Read my full statement: tinyurl.com/ycyyds5e

Trump just picked his own personal criminal defense lawyers to the #2 & #3 top spots at DOJ. In any other era, this would have been a big story, a clear conflict of interest, a corrupt violation of keeping the Justice Department independent. But with Trump, barely a notice.

Remember: 200,000 Americans needlessly perished bc they refused Covid vaccines in 2021-22 5X increase in pertussis cases from 2023 to 2024 15 measles outbreaks in 2024 Polio in NY wastewater in 2022 All from antivaccine activism in America, and now you put him charge

Why is RFK Jr such a disaster for public health? Because when you sacrifice public health at the altar of conspiracy theory, innocent people die - just remember Thabo Mbeki's AIDs denial policy let 350,000 innocent painfully and needlessly.. youtu.be/SitRrMFFUS8

If I could broadcast a message to the entire Democratic Party, it’s this: GENUINE CONFLICT DOMINATES PEOPLE’S ATTENTION If you want to draw public attention to Trump abuses, his terrible nominees, plan to fight them. Make those fights real. Try to inflict actual damage

A dementia drug based on a chemical discovered in an exotic type of snail was just invented. Studying the reproductive habits of insects has allowed us to increase crop yields. You think you’re making a good point but you don’t even have the capacity to realize how dumb you are.

DOGE, coming to a government building near you…

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

Almost every single state that banned trans people from playing sports went on to ban healthcare for trans youth. This issue is a trojan horse meant to codify the otherness of trans people into state law.

There is a push among some orgs, "moderate" legislators, and even trans people to "give up the sports issue" in hopes that will stop hate. I have watched moderates try this in 23 state houses. It doesn't work. There's no amount of give you can offer that stops them from taking.

My God... why do people think Trump is playing 3 dimensional chess with these cabinet picks? He is a strong man. He demands LOYALTY. These picks are loyalty. Confirming them is a loyalty test for his new empire.
