I don’t remember the WI GOP building any fucking bridges when they ran both chambers. Y’all spent years gerrymandering the maps, stripping Evers’ powers in the lame duck, & treating any Democratic priority like it was radioactive. Now you’re clutching pearls because Crowley might actually do what he said.
Sit all the way the fuck down.
Wisconsin Republican Senate Minority Leader @SenBradley on David Crowley saying he would sign a bill to redistrict congressional maps.
"I think David Crowley is starting off pretty rough with some of us...That's tearing down a bridge that he said he was hoping to build."

Medicare for All would save $1 trillion & 114,000 lives each & every year, per Yale.
“Majority Democrats” is funded by billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Mandel, Michael Bloomberg & Rupert Murdoch’s son.
They should change their name to Billionaires for the Status Quo.
Respectfully, Medicare For All proponents aren't being fully transparent about what this poll actually says— not with their supporters, and possibly not with themselves.
Yes, 66% of Americans support Medicare For All according to this KFF poll. But according to that same poll, when people find out that M4A would require raising taxes on the middle class, support drops to 35%. (See the attached charts from the poll.)
And yes, in addition to taxing the wealthy, taxes would have to be raised on the middle class to fund M4A.
And do you know what else the poll showed? 70% of Medicare For All supporters also think they’d have the option to keep their current insurance, which means they actually support a public option. That’s something the newly elected senators in Texas, Iowa, and South Carolina also support — the Democrats who actually delivered this majority.
Here’s the real polling data, instead of just the cherry-picked parts: According to KFF, 79% of Americans want the government to do more to bring down healthcare costs. Which is exactly what Medicare For Americans (or a variation with a public option) would do. It’s a better way to give universal healthcare to Americans who are sick of how insurance companies treat them when they’re sick.
So to recap: 79% is higher than 66%, and it’s way higher than 35%, which is the support M4A has when people find out what it will actually cost them.

Unpopular opinion: Poor people should not pay zero taxes. The reason why Scandinavia is able to fund so many public services is in large part because the bottom half is also taxed extensively.
.@JeffBezos: The bottom half of income earners in the US pay 3% of the taxes. It should be 0%.
"It's absurd we do this."
"Why is a nurse in Queens making $75k/year paying 1k/mo in taxes?"
"We shouldn't be asking this nurse to send money to Washington. They should be sending her an apology."

Apparently Lanterns, the 5th most watched show in the history of HBO, btw, “didn’t quite capture the zeitgeist”
They’re not just assholes, they’re completely stupid.

Film Twitter always bemoans the lack of creativity in Hollywood and superhero fatigue and yet when we finally get a truly original piece of blockbuster cinema like The Cat in the Hat you let it flop. Don’t blame me when studios stop funding passion projects like this
“The Cat in the Hat” stumbled with $20 million debut, a weak opening for an animated movie that’s based on one of the most well-known children’s books of all time.

“Medicare for Americans” is the rebranded Public Option.
It would cost more than Medicare for All, cover a lot less, leave millions without coverage, and still treat healthcare as a privilege for those with money, while protecting the private insurance industry.
Demand Medicare for All — the moral and fiscally responsible path forward for **all** Americans.

SNL with a joke painting Abdul El-Sayed out as being antisemitic after Abdul’s endured some of the most racist Islamophobic attacks on a campaign trail in recent memory

"We should make it hard for the government to build anything because otherwise it might build bad things" isn't an especially progressive governing philosophy imo

U.S Senator, Abdul El-Sayed defends trans rights in new interview:
“I believe in rights. And even though somebody might use rights that you don’t understand, you never mean to use yourself, you still got to show up and fight for those rights.”“The minute you ascent to government taking anybody’s rights, whether you use them or you don’t, you are assenting to government taking everybody’s rights.

Here’s a thing. I don’t care if you think he underperformed. He won by 7%.
If my choice is the worst Democrat, who will sabotage our agenda winning by 8% or an amazing Democrat, who supports our agenda winning by 7%, I will choose the latter every time.
If you're carrying on about Abdul El-Sayed "underperforming" you need to explain why you didn't say the same for Debbie Stabenow (who El-Sayed is overperforming despite his chief primary opponent endorsing against him).
It is typical for the Dem governor to do a tiny bit better than the Dem Senate candidate.

The idea that Talarico is a moderate and Abdul is a radical is so unserious, and rooted mostly in Abdul's identity.

this is and will be the response from me if anyone tries to claim moving right on trans issues gave dems this win btw

It’s probably just an oversight (and certainly not motivated reasoning) that Matt isn’t bringing up the fact that self-described moderate & ticket-splitter Josh Turek underperformed statewide officeholder Rob Sand by 2.5 points in two-party vote share, compared to Abdul El-Sayed underperforming statewide officeholder Jocelyn Benson by 1.5 points by the same two-party vote share.
Despite Turek facing no attacks on his ethnicity and religion, facing far less in outside spending attacking him for the better part of a year, and not having his opponent endorse his Republican opponent 48 hours before Election Day.
Or you can look at this way — Abdul’s vote share was only 2 points lower than Jocelyn Benson — a popular statewide elected official who faced an opponent that was abandoned by Republican outside groups weeks ago — after:
— Enduring the most disgusting onslaught of racist and Islamophobic attacks in modern political history
— An unprecedented onslaught of negative ads from outside groups dating back to the primary
— His primary opponent (who nearly defeated him) endorsing his general election opponent days before the primary

A vote for @TomTiffanyWI is a vote for 4 more years of MAGA bullsh*t in Wisconsin.
It is my Great Honor to endorse Highly Respected America First Congressman, Tom Tiffany, who is running to be the next Governor of the GREAT State of Wisconsin, a very special place to me in that we had a BIG Presidential Election Win on November 5, 2024!
I endorsed Tom for Congress early and strong, and he won, BIG. Likewise, he has always been at my side. A very successful Businessman, Family Farmer, and State Legislator, prior to becoming a distinguished United States Congressman, Tom is a Proven Leader who has dedicated his life to serving his Community. His opponent, David Crowley, is a Radical Left Democrat who wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. David Crowley is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! On the other hand, as your next Governor, Tom will continue to work tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity, Advocate for the Working Men and Women of Wisconsin, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. He will fight to advance Common Sense Values, and put WISCONSIN, AND AMERICA, FIRST.
Tom Tiffany has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of the Great State of Wisconsin. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR TOM — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

“One [ad], from a group supporting Abdul, tied the cost of groceries to America’s support for Israel.”
Infuriating how they act like this is conspiratorial when it’s literally true! Israel lobbied Trump into a war which has raised inflation and food prices via fuel and fertilizer costs! It’s just true!
