This is one of many reasons why you shouldn't hire unqualified people to be university presidents (Hawkins should obviously be removed immediately)

Wisconsin in a nutshell

No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

It's just kinda funny how Dems do in fact have deep, consistent rural strongholds. All over the US! And even most Professional Rural Understanders I've run into just... can't see them. Or figure out how to work with them and build on them. For some reason haha it's so crazy

Most of the land in most farm counties is owned by 1-5 families. They run the place like their own personal kingdoms. There is SO much resentment and straight-up fury about this in rural areas. The fact that no political party's even really trying to speak to it is wild.

Trying to imagine the reaction if an Obama official had dismissed people's affordability complaints by suggesting they eat liver

This will prob feed takes that the Wisconsin gubernatorial race is a mess or a dumpster fire or whatever, but what that narrative leaves out is that the consistent front runner, @francescahongwi.bsky.social has run a drama free campaign, stayed above the fray, and built a massive volunteer network.

Oh, and the Journal Sentinel is apparently working on a story about "allegations that Barnes was taking advantage of his role in the party to have sexual encounters with young adult women."

Longevity is the funniest possible thing to have "taken too far"

Francesca Hong has just a preposterously ridiculous lead in the 18-29 and 30-44 age groups, per the Marquette poll. No other candidate is even in double-digits among voters under 45.

"Helping working people to afford lives of joy” This is absolutely why Mamdani is succeeding in New York and is so beloved.

I think Americans consistently assume that because they know nothing about other countries other countries know nothing about them, and nothing could be further from the truth

Alas in this case the guy is a well-known crank and shithead

Again, if there's anybody I'd like to say I was wrong to be pessimistic to, it's Wikler. People joke about "vote harder" but WisDems actually voted harder and broke a very strong right wing powergrab over many cycles.

I dislike the whole "let them fight" meme... but... you know... sometimes it's just really appropriate. FL's AG threatening to abuse his power to investigate Chris Rufo for criticizing Desantis' choice to de-wokify the University of Florida is popcorn-worthy www.chronicle.com/article/flor...

More narrowly, Johnson and his staff were directly implicated in the fake electors scheme and should have faced consequences, at minimum expulsion from the Senate

Tony Evers bringing all the cunning and savvy you would expect to his endorsement in this race

Among other things this is supposed to be political suicide
