What's awesome is that she thinks this is awesome - it's not an annoyance to her but a benefit to her work.

I think it might be time to avoid all discussion of our deranged executive branch and scroll through this profile instead.

Intend to Return overseas voters from Wisconsin! You have a state Supreme Court election on April 7. Ballots came out Mar 17 and must mailed back and received in WI by April 7. Don't wait -- you can mail back a Backup Ballot right away. Act now! voteabroad.org. #VoteFromAbroad #Wisconsin

Nobel Prize-winning economist @pkrugman.bsky.social and historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social are joining forces for Lunch Money, a new monthly conversation series launching this Wednesday at 12 PM ET. Streaming live on YouTube, Facebook, and Substack.

My desire for a great blue wave is at tension with my hatred of texts soliciting a donation (and I realize this is only going to get worse). It's a good thing, I guess, that my hatred for what our government has become knows no bounds. But the texts do not endear me to those sending!

As it should be.

You won’t find cleaner waters than the Boundary Waters. Think endless streams of water filled with bass, walleye, trout and northern pike – total wilderness, only accessible by canoe. Why would we let a Chilean mining company pollute these public lands, take our minerals and ship them off to China?

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

In a rare letter to Republican senators, four descendants of Teddy Roosevelt oppose mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters.

Roses are red Violets are nice Nazis are bad Abolish ICE

Proud to be featured here along with @catzencoffee.bsky.social & @smittenkittenmn.bsky.social. Even business reporters understand the terrorism of ICE's occupation of #Minnesota. #AbolishICE

Everything going on is just so damn shitty. Nice to have a reminder of amazing beauty, even if the appreciation lasts just a moment.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

I want to make sure this does not get lost in everything that’s happening. Because, frankly, of all the stories I have written, this one scares me the most. www.importantcontext.news/p/experts-wa...

When I see myself in the bathroom mirror first thing in the morning.

I keep seeing the "41 minutes" and have the haunting Springsteen song American Skin (41 Shots) playing in my head now. Two different stories, linked together by their inhumanity - the taking of life in cruel, extrajudicial manner.

To paint snow, Monet used pale blues, pinks, and violets—not white. He said, “White does not exist in nature.

At London’s Savoy Hotel, Monet painted dozens of canvases at once, sprinting between them as fog and light shifted over the Thames. A witness said: “He ran from one canvas to another, in a frenzy, trying to capture the fugitive effects of light before they vanished.”

While others glorified kings and battles, Monet glorified mornings, mist, and poplars.🌳 As art critic Séverin Faust put it: “He made the ordinary eternal.”

Here’s my face and here’s a movement. Do I have mitochondrial challenges, or am I just reacting normally to our country being run by self-serving nutters?

This is an excellent – and sadly, rare – response by a reporter to the Trump regime's evasion of a question and attempt to stick a canned statement into a news story. In many cases like this, reporters from mainstream media have repeated the Trumpers' dishonest spin. Hurray that Jessica refused to.

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

Proud of my former staffer, Ed Shelleby, for calling out Sen Mike Lee’s despicable tweets about the assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman. This is beneath his office and Lee should apologize. x.com/burgessev/st...

For everybody just now learning the name (and strong ethics!) of the wonderful Senate staffer Ed Shelleby, here is a delightful conversation between him and his previous boss: bsky.app/profile/alfr...

Just received this encouraging update from Senator Hoffman's wife, Yvette, on their recovery in the hospital. Grateful for their progress and will continue to keep them in our prayers.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

Seems very bad but it's time to put up the bat signal

I thought my job as Senator was to try to keep my constituents alive.

I hate when I try to repaginate a story in Word and it ends up adding citations to studies that don't exist www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Wrote this on Friday about the dynamics that pushed the vote to this weekend. The core theory holds: the more cruel the bill gets to appease the maximum-cruelty Rs, the more public outcry can squeeze the this-could-cost-me-my-job Rs. So, call. Protest. Make this the biggest story.

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

The More You Know…💫

Even if you believe they'll "never do it" -- it's still the right thing to repeat this over and over -- people should know they could. This should be repeated until enough people get it, this is being done ON PURPOSE by the Repubs.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

The Milwaukee Bar Association's poll shows that Judge Crawford exceeds expectations on judicial temperament, impartiality, and integrity. In the poll, Judge Crawford handily leads Schimel in every category, while attorneys raise serious flags about Brad Schimel’s judgment.

The Trump administration's decision to text its war plans to the press shows a transparency and accessibility to the media far beyond what we saw from the Biden administration.
