YouTube video by Governor Tony Evers Gov. Evers Releases Message to Wisconsinites Regarding Apparent Trump Administration Arrest Threats

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me.

Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

Please excuse Vivian from the order. :-)

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Those are rather scary levels of non-concern.

This is bone-chilling.

Marco Rubio is prepared to cut all aid to NATO and the UN, and he's revoking visas of students who've committed no crimes. But he's always come across as weak and submissive, so we'll keep on branding him a moderate for his entire career.

They’re going to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen aren’t they

Meanwhile, Trump hit them with a 20% tariff.

Oh, no!

Sooner or later, and it doesn’t matter who you are, he’s going to arrest someone you care about for disagreeing with him.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

JD Vance: Denmark is not doing its job, and isn't being a good ally…if that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland that is what president trump is going to do. Because he doesn't care about what the Europeans scream at us…

GOP will observe “DeTrans Awareness Day” with multiple events Wednesday Rep. Dan Crenshaw and the Dept. of Education are leading the charge.

The Department of Education is sponsoring this. Think about that. They're full on evil now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/detrans-aw...

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

This is a good overview (pro tip: he's a slow talker, so you can watch at 2x speed, so it will take only 14 minutes instead of 28)

Unfortunately, sounds just like my husband talking to his dad.

If you're thinking about running for president as a liberal and your first move to build bridges to potential conservative voters is to throw one of the most thoroughly and unfairly demonized groups in the country under the bus...then we're done. No need to see your second move.

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

Logo for the America Psychological Association at the top and with shades of blue and white the quote reads, "There is extensive research that supports the complexity of sex and gender beyond binary classifications. The new restrictive definition of sex ignores decades of science, increasing harm to youth and families, while undermining critical mental health outcomes." APA CEP Dr. Arthur C. Evans Jr.

From the American Psychological Association:

The DOGE Takeover Is Worse Than You Think What’s happening to the US government right now is bad. What comes next is worse.

In case you were looking for a quick tally...

Same same.

Trump Team Weighs Pulling Funding for Moderna Bird Flu Vaccine US health officials are reevaluating a $590 million contract for bird flu shots that the Biden administration awarded to Moderna Inc., people familiar with the matter said.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.

Of course it is. But let's hear more about the "parasite class" of SNAP recipients, Medicaid patients, and people with disabilities.

I don’t know who the showrunner is on 2025 and I know we’re not that far into the season, but the writing feels really heavy-handed and honestly barely plausible so far
