I’ve spent my life fighting for a stronger, healthier Wisconsin. I believe we can make life better for working families across our state. That’s why I’m running for governor.

Polls are open until 8:00 PM. Find your voting location at https://t.co/H7B2ppdxPD.

CRYSTAL BALL RATING CHANGE
Wisconsin Governor from Tossup to Leans Democratic. (More from us during Weds)

WaPo reports Trump secretly funneled almost $1B into the White House “housekeeping” account for renovations.

Without asking Congress.

Feels like the right day to repost this video & remind him: we’re undoing ALL of it when you’re gone.

Dems in the Midwest understand the stakes and act accordingly.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Just awful , and also not surprising.

I hope Americans will someday become as upset about corruption as other societies. We are not there yet.

Had the media not spent 30 fucking years obsessing over the state of Bill and Hillary's marriage, I might MIGHT let this slide, but the fact that they have ZERO interest in whatever the fuck is happening with the Trumps really annoys me.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

When WI @GovEvers intervened in the shambolic Dem race to choose his successor a few weeks ago, many thought the move too little, too late to impact a race that seemed headed to an easy win for DSAer Fran Hong.
Instead of owning a failure, the mild-mannered Gov looks like a titan this AM, after @DavidCCrowley's upset win.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear 77 million Trump voters...

This is what you voted for...for YOUR President's main priority to be "the ballroom"

You absolute fools.

You fell for this used car salesman TWICE.

[Amy Walter @amyewalter]

One of the underrated winners of the Crowley win in WIGOV: Dem Rebecca Cooke in WI-03. This light-red seat is a must-win for Dems and she would’ve been burdened w/ having to separate from Hong.

He decided to go into public health epidemiology. A perfectly legitimate thing for an MD to do. Delete your account.

Since when are journalism classes teaching that it's good practice to adopt use of shorthand terms in news copy that have been intentionally turned into terms with negative connotations by a political faction?

Like:
"woke"
"establishment"

We have a big vocabulary.
Use it, press

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Democrat Brian Poindexter, who is challenging GOP Rep. Max Miller in Ohio's 7th Congressional District, says he believes the district is winnable despite President Trump carrying it by 11 points. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is now focusing on the district as a top target by adding Poindexter to its "Red to Blue" program.

“We didn't get into this race because Max Miller is terrible in his personal life. We got in this race because the policies he support are terrible for the working families of this district,” Poindexter tells CBS News' Major Garrett.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

It’s been nine years since white supremacist violence in Charlottesville tragically took the lives of Heather Heyer, Lt. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke Bates. We can and must honor Heather, Jay, and Berke’s legacies by continuing to stand against violence and hate.

BREAKING on MS NOW:

Pete Hegseth was the lone Cabinet secretary on Trump's secret flight out of Turkey.

Remaining on the 'decoy' plane: Marco Rubio, Scott Bessett, Stephen Miller, Steven Cheung, and other Trump officials.

Wait Steven. You said this was a lie….

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Lost in the conversation about WI is the fact that if he wins again in November, @DavidCCrowley would be only the FOURTH African-American elected governor in the U.S. since Reconstruction. The son of parents who struggled with addiction, he was raised in withering poverty and worked his way up.
An inspiring story.

With @MarkWarnerVA saying 2026 will be his final campaign, here’s a look back at the evolution of his campaign branding from his first US Senate run in 1996. Six election cycles spanning three decades.
