WI's 2011 congressional map = 💩 sandwich

SCOWIS 2021: We agree with WI GOP and WILL that the new sandwich must be made from the 💩 sandwich

Gov. Evers: Here's the best possible sandwich with 💩 in it

SCOWIS: We'll take it

WILL 2026: Dems are so dumb. Don't you know EVERS made the 2021 💩 sandwich?

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Yes, thank goodness we dodged that bullet. 🙄

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

This picture breaks my heart. This is not a criminal, this is someone’s kid. Another reason we need accountability for ICE, now.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

It will be interesting to hear Judge Adelman's instructions to the jury b/c in the defense's motion for acquittal yesterday, they argued that diluting the "corruptly" element to just "wrongful" is not adequate and would allow the prosecution to make a pure pure ipse dixit argument for conviction.

Note:

Several legal experts whom I interviewed were nonplussed that this sentence was allowed in Cervera's testimony, since it called for a legal conclusion that was, effectively, a guilty verdict.

They wondered whether there was an objection or mistrial motion.

There wasn't.

Biskupic says that the side entrance where the restricted jury hallway emptied into the public hallway “10 ft, 11 inches" from the main entrance.

"That’s what she’s on trial for,” Biskupic says.

The agents were waiting in that hallway for the defendant and chose not to arrest him there, he notes.

No one has faced trial for 2020 ‘fake electors’ plan. In Wisconsin, it might happen. Criminal cases over a “fake elector” scheme to keep Donald Trump in office after his 2020 election loss have mostly run aground. In Wisconsin, a case involving three key figures in the effort might be...

Law Forward played a critical role in exposing the fraudulent electors' scheme. Our civil suit uncovered documents that proved the scheme was cooked up in #Wisconsin before being spread to other states, resulting in an attack on the US Capitol. (1/2)

This story is too vague unless there's a paywall that I'm not seeing? Why wouldn't you list the specific political orgs connected to Vos that gave $1.1 million to Rep. Pat Snyder? Honestly, those of us who try and spread the word to help progressives need a little more meat on the bones, ya know?

He's a doctor. He 100% understands how health insurance works and why risk pools are critical.

He just doesn't care.

All of that and somehow Senator Ron Johnson isn't on the list?

You can't fight if you've been caught and y'all just voluntarily put your hands up and surrendered to the Republicans today. Either you knew exactly what was going on and gave yourself cover with your meaningless "no" vote or you're too weak of a leader to control your caucus. Either one isn't good.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Actually, @hassan.senate.gov, you and your seven Democrat conspirators are at the "fool me again, shame on me" part of this equation because everyone knows that Republicans will never do the right thing. #TheHatefulEight

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I’m old enough to remember when Bernie called Planned Parenthood “part of the establishment.”

Or when progressives went Gaga over Aaron Coleman in Kansas even after he admitted to revenge porn

Maybe you guys should cool your jets and, you know, vet people before getting matching bestie tattoos

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Anyone who has followed former WI Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman knows that ethical violations have swirled around his entire career but this is the first time that he's been held to account. I just wonder if he's still employed by the conservative Thomas More Society in some legal capacity.

Maybe putting a podcaster and a Mar-a-Lago groupie in charge of the FBI wasn’t the best plan.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

We all knew that was their plan. It has always been that. #WIunion #goptaxscam

Wisconsin has a history of fighting injustice. Judge Dugan is the latest example. | Opinion The charges against a Milwaukee judge have echoes of the case of Joshua Glover, an enslaved man who found freedom in Wisconsin and escaped to Canada.
