Thousands of Wisconsinites volunteered their hearts out in 2024, re-elected Tammy Baldwin, but were crushed to fall short in the presidential contest. They got back up and helped Susan Crawford beat the world's richest man in 2025. And they never stopped. Tonight is Chris Taylor's win—and theirs.
Ben is probably the happiest about this win since he isn't party chairman but he gets to enjoy watching the win. (He's easily one of the best strategic minds in the Democratic Party today)

I think a lot of people, myself included, wondered if the Wisconsin Democratic Party would continue to be a turnout machine after Ben Wikler left. Turns out the best testament to his work is, yes, it still is. And Devin Remiker is still doing the work.
Minnesota’s graduation rates just reached another record high.
From day one, we set out to build a better future for our students. I’m proud that every student who receives that diploma is better equipped to build a future they feel excited about.
As an example of what seems to be happening. The Indians are restarting the purchase of Iranian oil for the first time in 7 years--so much for sanctions. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Also, the US President threatened genocide, and too many people treated it as "bluster" or passed it off. This is normalizing what should never be normalized. And, the real people to suffer here are the Iranian people (courtesy of the USA). It is time for the US to pull out.
Just sent out this free midweek update. This was no ordinary Trump TACO, this was Trump accepting Iran's victory conditions as the basis of negotiations. It looks likely that Iran will emerge stronger from this war than before; a total US strategic failure. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
This is a United States surrender.
We surrendered a war we started.
Trump: do as I say, or I will bomb you back to the stone ages Iran: best I can do is this 10 point plan where you give us everything we want Trump: deal! FoxNews: Trump is a master negotiator
More good news!

say what you want about South Korea, at least THEY got their president impeached and thrown in prison for trying to do some bullshit
I think “it” refers to the subject of the previous sentence. 🤷🏼♀️

I’m in a SC media market and Lindsay Graham is running an ad that says Lindsay “might have single-handedly saved Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination”
Seems like a great ad for Dr Annie Andrews! 😂🤣🤷🏼♀️
After yesterday, we know exactly how far Republicans will go to stay silent. All the way to the brink of nuclear apocalypse.
I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.
And for those of you who disliked Obama because he was an effective steward of American power, that really just emphasizes the point about where people’s priorities are.
Trump was elected to wipe the trauma of the first black president from American history, a task which included scrapping the nuclear deal that had the US in a much better strategic position than before this needless, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran
A minority of his voters perhaps weren't paying attention to anything he represents or says and only cared about prices/economy but the majority knew what they were signing up for. I will die on that hill.
Including Russia, right? RIGHT?
India will go solar. Simple economic decision.
"Solar-plus-storage auctions in 2025 cleared at INR 2.9-3.5/kWh ($32-39/MWh) for. projects with a 4-hour battery.
More recently, India’s first solar and 6-hour BESS auction
in early 2026 discovered a tariff of INR 3.12/kWh ($34/MWh)."

You may just be learning about @propublica.org's union bustery, but it's been *2 years, 8 months, and 5 days since the the union was recognized*
Worse, given the incredible work of holding the current admin account by their employees, its OBSCENE they won't even accept basic just cause protections!
I've taught European history for thirty years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we Americans have front-row seats.
To break up the powerful GOP’s two-thirds supermajority in the House, Democratic candidates will need to flip at least six seats and not lose any races they won in 2024.
We should never forget this was a war of choice, over military objections, with a clear outcome (closing of Strait) forecast decades in advance and warned of in the moment, at great human cost, initiated by one man (pushed by another), who wanted to play the tough guy with a military now depleted.
