GOP's Epstein Twist Is ‘Whitewashing Greatest Pedophile of The 21st Century’ #EpsteinCoverup www.thedailybeast.com/morning-joe-... via @thedailybeast
Thoughts on Wisconsin's coming gubernatorial race, and on my recent trip to one of the most beautiful places in the region, Rock Island State Park:
Workers can expect to shell out an additional 6% to 7% in premiums, on average, according to Mercer’s National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans, released Thursday. Some companies will try to limit the increase, but they typically do that by hiking deductibles and copays.

What @wisconsinwatch.org found after getting a tip that permanently and totally disabled workers, like 77-year-old Jimmy Novy, haven't received a raise in their worker's comp checks in 9 years. The challenges of management-labor negotiations are part of the explanation. Raises might be coming.

It's amazing abortion access just seemed to drop off as a story. It's hard to maintain the rage to deal with all the bullshit when so much is coming at you every day. It shouldn't be this way, but too many men have checked out. Women too, it seems. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-a...
G'dammit, Chuck... HELL NO. I get the need to help people in the short term on ACA subsidy hikes, but it will kill them in the long term and our only priority is to win the 2026 HOUSE and Senate. ONLY PRIORITY!!! 😠 @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.org
Sen. Bernie Sanders asked if Kennedy still believed “the COVID vaccine was, quote, the deadliest vaccine ever made?” In 2021, Kennedy said federal data “confirms” that the COVID-19 vaccine “is the deadliest vaccine ever made." At that time, we rated his statement Pants on Fire. buff.ly/RsuhNdl

Worker's comp rate cuts have saved Wisconsin companies $1 billion over past decade. At same time, injured workers have received no cost-of-living increases. The legislature & governor have agreed to work on a new medical fee schedule @wisconsinwatch.org wisconsinwatch.org/2025/09/wisc...
Wisconsinites are paying the price of GOP inaction. Instead of fully investing in our public schools, WI Republicans like Sen. Marklein continue to block action to address critical funding shortages and are passing on the costs to Wisconsin taxpayers because of their failures.
Secretary of State Wes Allen told a federal judge today he still does not know if the governor will call a special session to redraw state Senate districts in Montgomery after last month's ruling that they violate the Voting Rights Act. alabamareflector.com/2025/09/04/s...

"Trump’s biggest vulnerability is only starting to enter public consciousness. While he won by promising to lower costs, his economic 'policies' are so irrational they're driving the US toward stagflation the likes of which hasn't been seen since the 1980s."

This is not the insult Breitbart thinks it is
A federal case against Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan is set for trial on December 15. Dugan is charged with allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest by federal agents.
It’s an act of mass murder. If you suspect a vessel of smuggling drugs, you track it and then stop and board it, and conduct a search. After that, people may or may not be arrested. You don’t just fucking kill everybody on a boat in international waters because they MIGHT be smuggling drugs.

Informing Wisconsinites that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will increase costs and take away services is not “fearmongering”, Derrick Van Orden. It is letting people know what the GOP agenda is: tax breaks to the uber wealthy, and not everyday Wisconsinites. https://shorturl.at/kpxBQ

Verizon expects to pay $2 BILLION less in taxes next year. Lumen Tech has requested a $400 MILLION tax refund. Diamondback Energy is projecting its cash tax rate to drop by 4%. That's billions less for America. And their CEOs and shareholders will keep it all. Great.
Invading a country is a hostile act. Committing genocide is a hostile act. Grabbing civilians off the street for not being white is a hostile act. But, according to Trump, full release of the Epstein Files is a hostile act. Victims aren’t cowering, will the GOP continue to? #ProudBlue
We know all about this evil criminal and he knows we know and he should be very very afraid because we will hold him accountable for all of his crimes. His cowardly ass will rot in jail. As will his co-conspirators. #nurembergonthepotomac

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
