Opioids ravaged WI.

As AG @BradSchimel refused to sue opioid kingpin Purdue Pharma after being only state candidate in WI history to get a Purdue Pharma PAC check.

71 of 72 counties passed resolutions begging him to hold Purdue accountable.

Schimel was the top cop on the take.

I have tried to stress that the school voucher push—nothing short of a new religious separatism in American education—is fundamental to every other right-wing political priority from health care to (below) defense.

Multiple members of the community have recently come forward w/ serious allegations of abuse & sexual harassment against Madison Alder Charles Myadze. These individuals have shared their stories with the press and/or filed complaints w/ the City of Madison.

calling it right now, 2024 was the year of slop. it's the year slop took over every facet of culture. google became slop. slop drowned out journalism. not just ai slop–there were slop games like Concord. movie slop like Borderlands. we let a slop ceo get a slop president elected

Incredibly specific Letterboxd list just dropped

[Isaia Ben-Ami @AmiIsaia]

Let’s not let this get lost in confusion: this is about Charles Myadze.

Trump just picked his own personal criminal defense lawyers to the #2 & #3 top spots at DOJ. In any other era, this would have been a big story, a clear conflict of interest, a corrupt violation of keeping the Justice Department independent. But with Trump, barely a notice.

Remember:

200,000 Americans needlessly perished bc they refused Covid vaccines in 2021-22

5X increase in pertussis cases from 2023 to 2024

15 measles outbreaks in 2024

Polio in NY wastewater in 2022

All from antivaccine activism in America, and now you put him charge

If I could broadcast a message to the entire Democratic Party, it’s this:

GENUINE CONFLICT DOMINATES PEOPLE’S ATTENTION

If you want to draw public attention to Trump abuses, his terrible nominees, plan to fight them. Make those fights real. Try to inflict actual damage

[Kelda Roys @keldahelenroys]

I commend Gloria Reyes and the other survivors for their courage and wish them well in their healing. If you or someone you know feels unsafe in a relationship, help is available at Domestic Abuse Intervention Services at [phone] or text [phone], or call 911.

A dementia drug based on a chemical discovered in an exotic type of snail was just invented. Studying the reproductive habits of insects has allowed us to increase crop yields.

You think you’re making a good point but you don’t even have the capacity to realize how dumb you are.

Now this… this is a *bad* appointment, worse than all possible others

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

Almost every single state that banned trans people from playing sports went on to ban healthcare for trans youth. This issue is a trojan horse meant to codify the otherness of trans people into state law.

[Alan Talaga @danpotacke]

@Shoes232323 @DanRShafer In Wisconsin, the seat would be open until a special election OR the next general election (depending on when the vacancy occurs). In this state, the governor's role is just to call for the special election

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

My God... why do people think Trump is playing 3 dimensional chess with these cabinet picks?

He is a strong man. He demands LOYALTY. These picks are loyalty. Confirming them is a loyalty test for his new empire.
