How did we not get this feed earlier today?

If the liberal late night hosts or Saturday night Live had any sense of comedy, they’d be all over this. And look at Macron’s wife. She’s like WTF.

Lutnick and Jared. Who hired these guys?

[Annmarie Hordern @annmarie]

“Sources told Axios that Lutnick has spent the last year "undoing" efforts by other administration officials to hold Megaspeed — a company accused of illegally diverting U.S. chips to China — accountable because of concerns it would escalate the trade war with China.”

Important thread and story link. Dems had a centralized social media campaign where they provided content to creators.

And it ran through all platforms including Facebook and TikTok.

[Rachel Karten @milkkarten]

While there are many theories on the tides that led to last week’s blue wave, one thing is clear: a sophisticated social strategy is essential to mobilization. @paulinaVEVO at @TheDemocrats took over today’s newsletter to share her complete playbook. Below are a few takeaways.

The original post is a hoax. WI had 2.67 million votes cast in '26 with 3.63 million active registered voters.

The post has value, however. By re-posting it as true, Matt Gaetz removes any doubt that he is a moron.

Meanwhile here in Wisconsin, the Dems probably will race to legalize pot so we can have drive our kids and grandkids past dispensaries everywhere.

“The success of China’s high-speed railways grew out of forward planning, top-level design, independent innovation and deployment at scale. Building China’s ‘high-speed rail for computing power’ calls for the same strategic resolve and systems thinking.”

@aquablue1317 @wisconsin_now This is a big story. The alleged reporter in question has been doing a Capitol beat for the past decade. First for the CapTimes, then the Journal. She has quite a following. During that time Barnes was Lt. Gov, then running for Senate and now running for Gov.

We’re going to get 4 years of Kamala Harris level stupidity and word salad from Crowley

@thedanman2121 He was for the war before he was against it.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

Does anyone understand the quote below?

[Scott Bauer @sbauerAP]

Crowley:

"We understand the historic nature of the Electoral College, which pretty much diluted people’s ability or diluted peoples’ citizenship, here across the entire country. Our job is to make sure that our votes are representing those who win our state.”

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

What strikes you about the headline below?

I mean like couldn’t this House committee release this report six weeks ago? It wouldn’t satisfy everyone but it would be something.

[John Solomon @jsolomonReports]

House Oversight Republicans release final report on Epstein investigation, clears Trump of crimes https://t.co/STK82mpuEj

Years…..years.

These Madison kids know how to hook up!

[Wisconsin Right Now @wisconsin_now]

This reader comment is an interesting question about the #Milwaukee Journal Sentinel political reporter who allegedly had s*x with former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes and then covered the governor’s race, since he says the relationship started in about 2018.

“The Conflicted Reporter had previously maintained an intermittent sexual relationship with Barnes beginning in approximately 2018 and lasting several years,” his defamation lawsuit against MJS alleges.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

@taxman_555 @JudLounsbury People won’t like watching annual vehicle registration going above the $85 per year. Didn’t our friend Jim Doyle jack it up from $35?

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

@guntotingteabag “Out on the town”

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

This escalated slowly. But we’re here.

[Wisconsin Right Now @wisconsin_now]

Asked why Jessie Opoien is no longer covering the governor’s race, this was Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editor Greg Borowski’s response. Translation: They don’t think the public or campaigns have a right to know why she’s no longer covering it. Stay tuned. Any further comment @jessieopie? (she was copied on the initial email btw)

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

@guntotingteabag If I recall she and Molly would always post online photos of being out of town. I wonder when her fling with Mandela was and who she was working with then.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

@reggied38537101 @USRoute41 $14.5 million still. Not bad.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

@AnnieBananas35 This is very damaging and embarrassing for the paper. No, they won’t completely go out of business or something crazy like that. But their political reporting team has to be very upset with reputational loss.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

There are reports now coming out that Nvidia asked the US Govt to stand down on this issue a year ago, noting Nvidia would handle it internally. Trump’s got problems here.

But WE’VE ALL got problems as many of these massive corporations now owe no loyalty to America.

[*Walter Bloomberg @DeItaone]

DEMOCRATIC SENATE LEADER SCHUMER CALLS TRUMP'S DEFENSE OF NVIDIA'S HUANG "TROUBLING"

SCHUMER SAYS FULL ACCOUNTING FOR TRUMP’S ALLEGED "FAILURE TO ADDRESS FOREIGN ESPIONAGE IN THE AMERICAN TECH INDUSTRY" NEEDED

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

@ii_plump @bob_the_food I went through that timeline of things Trump did that @SeanTrende put together. Trump literally offended every constituency in America at some point the last two years.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

The guest on this pod is a woman who has done doors here in WI the last two cycles. She talks about how hatred for Trump ran across all demographics of homes she visited in SE WI.

We can learn from this starting today or not.

[New Fashioned Conservatives @NewFashionedPod]

Well, that sucked. Crowley beat Tiffany and Democrats now run Madison.

@JustinEPhillips and @Robin_Vos_Stan sit down with @ElizabethWolnik on Ep. 94 of New Fashioned Conservatives to break down what went wrong and how Republicans fight back.

@SunrizeConnect1 Sure, I had a lot of Tiffany signs I saw in the WOW counties. Then know personally a bunch of relatives who voted Crowley.

[SteveAustinWI @SteveAustinWI]

If we don’t learn that this election was about moving on from Trump we’re going to welcome President Kamala and a 60 vote filibuster proof Dem Senate in 2028.
