Watching all these urban elitists praise Hong and Hasan makes me all the more pleased to have a true champion for the working class in @TomTiffanyWI.

Unlike the Piker/Hong crowd, he grew up on a dairy farm. He didn’t get to go to a prep school or Columbia. He worked.

Tom is the man of the people and in November he will defeat the DSA and their elitist supporters.

The Lt. Gov. primary was super ugly at times, even though the race was made up of accomplished and well-respected lawmakers.

But one major takeaway is that voters will reward BOLDNESS.

During his time in the Senate, @DolezalForGA was a leader on:

*Education Freedom and parental choice
*Ending big government regulation like certificate of need, and
*Dismantling the administrative state and pro-innovative reforms like the REINS Act

Republicans will have no problem uniting behind Greg Dolezal come November! #gapol

Big win for fair maps and the rule of law.

Big loss for leftist gerrymanderers.

Well @AmericanAir you have just done something that is completely unacceptable. I paid for a 1st class seat and you just moved me to a center seat in row 13 because you downsized your plane. Thanks for your terrible customer service!!!

Honestly it's impressive when an airline loses you bag twice in 4 days... Thanks @united !

[Kris Koenen @TheKrisKoenen]

@VaDOTNOVA Happy for those who are getting treated again. Really wish the snow plows would stop driving past my house without doing anything for the last 4 days. Really appreciate the commitment to slow down and decide we don't need to be plowed! 🙏

Stunning hit piece from the Left against @TheOtherMandela in the @nytimes.

The Dem establishment doesn’t want the socialist Barnes, known for his @katieporteroc like temper to be their nominee…

The regulated have become the regulators in Wisconsin.

Utilities run the show; we're stuck paying the bill.

I cannot believe the @GovEvers appointed @PSCWisconsin Chair openly admits to being a rubber stamp for the utilities.

Wisconsin has the second-highest electric rates in the Midwest. Now you see why.

--The chair starts her response to Congressman @RepTiffany:

"The Public Service Commission (PSC or Commission) is an independent regulatory body charged with ensuring the provision of safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible utility services in Wisconsin."

--Ok, fine, we should probably prioritize affordability and reliability but that's me. But she then goes on to say:

"Generally speaking, the role of the PSC is to react and respond. Regulated entities file applications, and the Commission engages in evidence-based decision-making to issue decisions on the applications."

--Ok good, you're the regulator of the government protected monopoly, time to regulate. But continues with:

"Instead, utilities and generation providers independently choose the types of generation projects they pursue."

--Wait, what? The Wisconsin-PSC has allowed the profit driven, monopoly protected utility companies, with a guaranteed Rate of Return, (that the PSC decides also) set the energy agenda for the state of Wisconsin?

The PSC Commissioners are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Wisconsin Senate.

What an opportunity for @SenBradley, the chair of senate committee on utilities and the rest of senate to demand answers from the PSC.

Since 2019, the Wisconsin-PSC has approved $2.5 billion in energy rate hikes. Another half a billion is up for approval this year.

And today the Chair admits the Wisconsin-PSC relinquished their role and allows the utilities to set the energy future of Wisconsin.

Tone Deaf!

The Wisconsin-PSC needs a complete overhaul. It should no longer be allowed to play the role of cheerleader for utilities.

We’re witnessing a Sea Change in American governance.

Republican champions like @LAGovJeffLandry are enacting generational reform through State REINS Acts.

The reason this is so unusual in politics is that these men are giving executive power back to the people because it’s the right thing to do.

Politicians never give up power yet increasingly, humble leaders like Governor Landry are getting the bigger picture.

They’re strengthening our Democracy while also providing regulatory certainty to businesses and capital investors.

Transformational reforms like the REINS Act put states on the map for economic investment.

The Louisiana REINS Act coupled with Landry’s commitment to comprehensive tax reform and massive success on education reform is changing the way investors view Louisiana.

Add in Louisiana’s access to limitless energy and we have all the ingredients for a manufacturing and economic renaissance.

I’m proud of @simonsays_La @spencer_evans22 and all of our team in @AFPLouisiana who are helping Governor Landry bring prosperity to everyone in Louisiana.

Let’s get this done in more states @AFPhq @AFPNC @AfpOhio @AFPMissouri @AFPSCarolina @AFPGeorgia!
