New in PN: Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal "Voters by now have demonstrated their ability to choose diarrhea forever over everyone gets a puppy, & to vote away their own rights and democracy. But the WI election is a chance to start turning the country away from authoritarianism"

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is a referendum on Elon Musk

Brad Schimel said the Wisconsin Supreme Court 'screwed' Trump over by not overturning the results of the 2020 election. Our courts should be a check and balance, not a 'support network' for politicians, as Schimel has said.

"On behalf of the entire state of Wisconsin, I would like to apologize for the statements, actions, and indeed the very existence of U.S. Congressman Derrick Van Orden....this guy embarrasses the hell out of us." ICYMI Bill Lueders: www.thebulwark.com/p/sorry-trut...

In Wisconsin's Supreme Court race... It's All Trump. All the Times. Look what I got in the mail today---->

Elon Musk’s company is suing our state. Now he’s trying to buy Brad Schimel a seat on the Supreme Court. It’s corruption to the extreme.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

This race is incredibly important! We have to get out and vote! Brad Shimel will be devastating for Wisconsin! Voting rights, abortion rights, labor rights, it's all on the line. We must vote for Susan Crawford! Ballotblue!

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

We can't let this happen Wisconsin! Ballotblue!

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Only you (the Senate) can prevent Trump's awful nominees

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. It won't be found in legacy media newsrooms where both-sides journalism is the order of the day. Nor will you find courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow to Trump.

"The authoritarians want us to either get exhausted and melt into the countryside, or become fully nihilistic. One of the ways to avoid that double-trap is pacing ourselves. Refuse to give up, but be willing to step away to recharge."

R.I.P Bob Uecker. You will be missed. It's a sad day here in Milwaukee.

"The loathing is easily understandable. Politicians don’t like scrutiny. But one senses in addition to the hatred and the loathing, there’s an element of fear." Even more important, then.

So today is a good moment to pause and remind yourselves: You are not the crazy ones for remembering what actually happened. And it is up to us to keep the historical record intact. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Donald Trump will be president for another term. But he will forever be a convicted felon and an adjudicated sex abuser.

The way Elon went from “I won’t be endorsing anyone for president” to “look at me, LOOK at me, I’m the president now”…

Nota bene: Elon Musk has committed 2 cardinal sins in Trump world. He upstaged him; and is now responsible for an embarrassing defeat. (and Trump must absolutely hate the whole President Musk thing.)

Protect the Porkies! (and me)
