As Attorney General, Brad Schimel refused to hold opioid manufacturers accountable Funds coming from opioid settlements are now saving lives in Wisconsin. As state AG, Brad Schimel refused to join these lawsuits. That’s a problem as he seeks a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

NEW: Data from the Wisconsin Policy Forum shows that settlement dollars from opioid manufacturers is making an impact in combating overdoses.

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel refused to sue these companies. That's a problem.

It’s up to us, Wisconsin While the fight might not be coming from national Democrats, Wisconsin voters have a unique opportunity at this moment to send a message to the Trump-Musk administration.

Chuck Schumer made it clear, the cavalry isn’t coming. It’s up to us to send a message to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/its-up-to-...

Beyond disgusting.

They will try to rewrite history to serve their purpose, but we won't forget the accomplishments of our citizenry, no matter their color or creed.

But following Carville's "strategy" of sitting on their hands while people have their livelihoods ruined and rights restricted in hopes of MAYBE having the opportunity to "save the day" after the 2026 midterms is laughable at best and classist at worst.

Although political theater is exhausting, it has clearly been effective for Republicans in terms of getting elected. Not to say Dems should copy the inflammatory and baity tactics of the other side, but having concise positions on meaningful policies can help break through the noise.

Like, I get why the editors would run the piece, I'm clearly talking about it, but the essay itself doesn't seem to really grasp the political reality we are living in, or it VASTLY underestimates the ability of Republicans to spin and spread misinformation.

The latest @nytimes.com op-ed from James Carville is probably the most ill-conceived, tone-deaf, out of touch political take I've read in a while.

A soft coup is taking place and his bold maneuver for the"do-nothing democrats" is to... do nothing. Galaxy-brain stuff here.

β€œAttempting to deny citizenship to kids who were born in the United States of America is as egregious and wrong-headed as it is unconstitutional,” said Gov. Evers. β€œWe must defend Americans’ constitutional rights, including the rights of kids who are born on U.S. soil, and that is exactly what we are doing today.”

BREAKING: Today, the Wisconsin DOJ and I are joining a coalition of states challenging an unconstitutional executive order issued yesterday that seeks to end citizenship for certain kids born in America.

New Superman looks pretty fun. Kinda busy with all the heroes and stuff, but we'll see how it all gets pulled together.

Also there is at least one big, grey monster, so hopefully that'll satisfy the Snyderverse fanboys.

Wondering if there are any good novels or other pieces of fiction in which a society is governed by an AI or non-human element that people could recommend. Satire, dystopia, utopia, whatchu got?
