Not sure this is the best message to be trying to sell to Wisconsin dairy farmers sixteen months before an election, but you go, Sonny. Minneapolis Star Tribune “President Donald Trump’s agriculture secretary said Tuesday during a stop in Wisconsin that he doesn’t know if the family dairy farm can survive as the industry moves…
If Donald Trump sets his mind to something, you can pretty much guarantee it’s going to go the other way. (Please, please, please, Melania — can you convince him to focus more on his health?) Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — states that Trump narrowly won in 2016 on his way to an Electoral College victory/popular vote…
The Republican-controlled Wisconsin State Assembly is refusing to allow a paralyzed legislator call into meetings so he can adequately do his job. Rep. Jimmy Anderson has a hard time getting to some of his meetings because, well, he’s paralyzed, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has cited existing legislative rules to refuse Anderson’s request to attend those meetings…
I’ll never understand people who can look at a symbol of love and inclusion and see only hate and divisiveness. But that’s today's Republican Party for you. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has ordered a rainbow flag flown over the state Capitol to mark Pride Month, but at least one GOPster thinks it’s a deliberate slap in his…
Uh … x It is my honor to help lead @TheNRRT as we counter the efforts of the far Left to try and gerrymander their way into permanent control of the Congress and state legislative bodies across the country. Republicans win if we have fair maps! 1/3 — Scott Walker (@ScottWalker) March 21, 2019 For…
Two reports today, one from The Wall Street Journal and another from NPR, point to the harmful impact Donald Trump is having on America’s Dairyland. First, NPR: Wisconsin lost 638 dairy farms in 2018, according to the latest data from the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. That's a 7.25 percent decline in the…
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and lived there most of my life. Now on the West Coast, I see what’s happening in my home state and am heartbroken about it. First, voter suppression and gerrymandering were used as blunt tools to distort the will of the state’s residents; now state Republicans are outright…
Scott Walker may have conceded, but his legacy will hang over Wisconsin for decades like a bratwurst fart. The list of things Tony Evers will have to unfuck is long and depressing (thanks for kneecapping the UW System so you could outpoll Jim Gilmore, dude), and now Wisconsin Republicans are signaling that they plan to make the…
The long knives butter knives Play-Doh knives are coming out for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had the temerity to take a DNA test incontrovertibly proving what she’d always said was true, but which our pr*sident has still refused to accept: One of her ancestors was a Native American. Of course, Donald Trump, who perpetually mocked Warren…
How many more of these stories do we need to see before we all acknowledge that white privilege is, you know, real? Sheila Stubbs is a Wisconsin State Assembly candidate in Madison’s 77th District. In a recent Capital Times feature, she described an incident in which she was questioned by the cops while campaigning in a predominantly…
