And if he hadn't cut the IRS branch that was going after the rich tax cheats, that would have been $500 billion in revenue, so he cost the US at least $350 billion.
Look at the maps below with who won by county, Schimel won more counties in '25. Ds before WI had a 10-20 point advantage in special elections but Schimel did better than Kelly in '23.
I completely agree with that. The way Edolph handled his involvement motivated a LOT of voters to vote against Schimel but the fact is Schimel's turnout was 250K votes higher than Kelly's '23 turnout in a year when R voter turnout has been down. That's not a coincidence.
I notice he's doing the usual cutesy stuff, grinning and gesturing like a pampered child, while everyone else is basically stone-faced. Trying to not make Tubby mad or show overt signs of revulsion towards Elmo.
Just a couple other points. $150 billion is NOT $2-3 trillion. $150 billion has not been verified. There has been zero evidence of any fraud. There has not been any evidence of waste either.
So with the 150 billion in savings (if true) and the 150 million increase in the Pentagon budget, all this chaos and destruction has resulted in no savings at all.

Perhaps that's where the staff wanted to put him *against the wall* buy he would have had the freedom to stand up & walk to the head of the table
