Senator Tammy Baldwin's @baldwin.senate.gov statement on the arrest of Judge Dugan (posted elsewhere):

I am honored to be named a finalist in the 2025 Wisconsin ORBIE Awards in the Large Enterprise category. “The Wisconsin ORBIE Awards honors chief information officers who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership.”

Air Wisconsin fires 630 workers in Wisconsin—300 workers more in Ohio. Almost 1,000 workers—roughly half the company—were fired across 2 states due to Trump's "economic uncertainty." This will cost the local economies affected up to $97.9M per year.

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

🇺🇸 As many of you know, I call Madison, Wisconsin, home. 🇺🇸 Today we learned Ben Wikler will be stepping down as leader of the Democratic Party here. 🇺🇸 He is a giant of a man both figuratively and metaphorically. It is impossible to describe all the good he has done. 🇺🇸 See you down the road, Ben.

And once again, he does

This is what we call the Find Out phase. This guy seems like a real piece of work. Too bad it’s only a 3 yr suspension.

If you’re a North Carolinian, you can check whether your name or the names of anyone you know is on the list of the 65K voters whose votes may be tossed. You could have an opportunity to fix it if so. thegriffinlist.com

🇺🇸 Absolutely insane crowd here in Madison, Wisconsin — the Capital of Democracy! #Handsoff

I’m seeing maga twist themselves into pretzels trying to justify Liberation Day and it makes me think of this cartoon

This sounds like the WI I love

I was so afraid to get my hopes up but thankfully we’ve been able to shut Elon out of buying our election Great work WI 💙 🙌🏻

More than 500,000 Wisconsinites have already voted early in the state's pivotal Supreme Court race.

Brad Schimel told WI voters he'd be apolitical & wouldn't show bias toward Trump in the courtroom, & then spent days touting his endorsement. 🙄 Know a Wisconsinite? Reach out & give 'em a heads up! 🔥Many are unaware of this TIGHT April 1 election! 1/ wisconsinindependent.com/politics/tru...

Dear Wisconsin, Please help defeat Elon Musk's million dollar bribery attempts to sway this election. Go vote for Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court! 🙏💪

THIS GUTTED ME. #SupportVeterans #TakeDownThisRegime

He's demanding that his bad portrait be removed.

Ok, I don’t usually bring stuff over from hellscape, but this shit is funny 😆

These are the kind of people who end up carrying cyanide capsules just in case history catches up to them.

📌I live in Wisconsin, and the grotesque Elon Musk needs to stay the fuck out of our state and OUR Supreme Court election.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

This is what we want our elected officials to do. Exactly this. We stand with you Congresswoman McBride

It’s good to see a little fire from these guys

I wonder if our all-knowing dodge leader thinks he’s going to live forever Because I’d like to know in whose lifetime will AI and robots replace ALL jobs and we’ll all be paid a high income to do nothing That’s some sci-fi level shit. Dude is nuts and they publish him like he’s a genius

Recently I had a second person from the Chicago area ask if I grew up in Canada based on my “accent.” I only live like 2.5 hrs north of Chicago so it seems a bit weird, eh? 😉 I guess I’ll fit right in once Canada makes WI a Province!

I messed up my shoulder about a month ago so I went to the dr to get set up with physical therapy I left the office with a tetanus shot and shingles vaccine in my other arm so both my arms are sore now 😆 No worries, hopefully I’m on the road to recovery and can start working out again soon 🙏🏻

... to whoever needs to hear it, please, never surrender your humanity. Even if it feels good. In the end, it's your humanity that will save you ...

Be against the REPUBLICANS and for the DEMOCRATS. Our divisions are minor in comparison to the DESTRUCTION that the Rs are doing to this COUNTRY and the WORLD. Minimize your Democratic indignation. Maximize your Republican infuriation. We should not help the Rs use our divisions against us.

I gave him 0% of my energy tonight. I did not tune in. Zero regrets

So Kristi Noem goes to Vermont because a boarder control officer was killed in the line of duty and uses that trip as a reason to troll the Canadians - in a library! Not only disrespectful to the fallen officer but sooo tacky all around Was she always so obnoxious or only since being Drumpified?

I travel internationally enough that I changed my TSA Precheck to Global Entry and I had my interview today It’s funny how being questioned by an officer makes makes me nervous - like maybe I’ve lived a life of crime but don’t remember 😆 Luckily I passed!

Translation: "We are containing the geopolitical damage done by President Manbaby and the eyeliner wearing sofasexual."

Zelensky stands up to him the way our own politicians should I can only imagine how the media will spin this, but the live footage shows Zelensky isn’t going to lie down for anyone, Trump is a big bumbling fool and Vance really sucks at being a handler

This thread is why I love Bluesky 💙

Interesting dynamic happening over on FB I use it only to check in on my family/HS friends and have been muting magas over the years but one popped up a few times today spurting about how great Elon’s cuts are Both posts are getting ratioed pretty hard. That’s a good sign!

Ben, I live in this district and if there is any way to flip this seat in 2026, I’d run against him. I just need to know how to start. Can we connect on this?

What the -?

This article is absolute drivel So because Bloomberg says that x is in talks to raise money that would value it at $44B (yet admit x may not GET that valuation) he is salvaging his investment Because he is a special gov employee, it puts X back on top of relevancy …Have these people BEEN on x?

Absolutely agree with this. 💯 Voters need to repeatedly know where she stands on issues more than the rape kits. Make it clear she’s fighting for women’s health care and the working class. The attack ads need to be against the Trump/Musk agenda. We won’t win with the ads they have for her now

Looks like the volunteer opportunities in WI are either knocking on doors or phone bank 👎 I swear, do people not understand that no one likes having people knock on thier door or spam call them? Shit, most young people are afraid to answer the door OR the phone

This is what they FAFO theory will never work on converting maga. They absolutely love that he is taking a bulldozer to our democracy. They do not care that the bulldozer drives across their back as well

I was just telling my daughter this last weekend. Say what you will about Pence but he’s one of the only people to stand his ground against Trump Whether he’s just very principled or if it’s that they just can’t find anything to blackmail him with, I don’t expect Vance would ever do the same

I just placed an order. Get yours while you can!

Still remember a conversation between one of my friends, a bit of a vaccine sceptic, and another who has a job at Merck, a pharmaceutical company. Friend 1: what about ppl in your company who don’t want vaccines? Merck Friend: There aren’t any. We know what they do and the testing they involve.

“VOTING FOR THE MAYOR WHO PROMISED TO BLOW UP THE CITY DOESN’T MEAN I APPROVE OF THE MAYOR BLOWING UP THE CITY” A masterclass from @mikedrucker.bsky.social

This picture speaks a thousand words. Direct, serious engagement on the left and cowardly, evasive behavior on the right.
