In true #Brewers Pat Murphy fashion, he shared a text exchange he had with Sal Frelick from his hospital bed. Here are some highlights 😂
Sal: "Did I get traded?"
Murphy: "Yes. There's a new league in Indonesia. Good opportunity. Fences are 290 in center."
Murphy: "I said, are you still drunk?"
More Murph: "I said laugh out loud, please delete this text. You are the single best competitor, teammate, winner, person, I've been around in years. Delete immediately."
Sal: "Love you Skip."
Crowley's quotes here show that he has absolutely no idea what the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is or how it works.
If adopted, someone could win 100% of the vote in Wisconsin, but if they don't win the most votes nationwide, Wisconsin's electoral votes would go to someone else, unlawfully disenfranchising WI voters.
Also -- under the illegal compact the "winner" is the person who gets the most votes, not the person who gets a majority of the votes. Imagine you get 30 people running for President, and the person with the most votes gets 19% of the vote. That person would be elected President under the compact even though 81% of Americans didn't want them, and even if they did not win a majority in a single state.
It is terrible, and everyone should actually learn about it before they say they support it...
There are currently two cases brought by Democrat-allies pending at the Wisconsin Supreme Court challenging the state's Congressional maps.
Those attorneys argued in September that the current maps were gerrymanders that ensured a GOP 6-2 majority. After last week, it will be a 4-4 delegation under those allegedly gerrymandered maps.
Governor-elect's response: We need to gerrymander these maps.
Instead of saying “live life to the fullest” say “live life like you’re on the Brewers and it’s game 3 of the World Series, 5th inning and there’s two outs”
@SusieWiles47 is not only an extraordinary leader, but a dear friend. Her loyalty, grace, and unwavering dedication to President Trump have been instrumental to his success. I’m incredibly grateful for her friendship, guidance, and everything she has done for this President and our country. She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy.
Congratulations to @StephenM, a longtime trusted advisor to President Trump and a friend. Stephen has been by the President’s side since the very beginning and has been one of the fiercest and most effective champions of his America First agenda. His loyalty, determination, and commitment to this President are unmatched. I know he will do a tremendous job!
Susie Wiles is one of the kindest and toughest people I've ever met. She helped power the greatest political comeback in American history in 2024, and as the first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff, she led the most productive start to a presidency in decades, even while battling breast cancer. I'm proud to call her my friend and former boss.
President Trump made the perfect choice in naming my dear friend Stephen Miller to succeed her. No one is more loyal, more hardworking, or more in touch with the America First movement than Stephen. I have complete confidence that he will make the final two years of the President's term a resounding success.
Now is the time to fix what’s not working and double down on all of the victories we’ve already achieved. What we cannot do is fall into despair and hand the country over to the Radical Democrats.
Let’s win.
Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.
Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.
More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.
Wisconsin voters have spoken, and Democrats will hold a governing trifecta for the first time in nearly two decades. Governor-elect David Crowley, Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer, and Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein will set the agenda in Madison.
I congratulate them on their victory.
For years, Wisconsin has thrived under an approach that made important investments while also reducing the tax burden. That balance delivered economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and opportunity for families and job creators. Republicans remain committed to those same principles: lower costs, a lighter tax burden, and an economy that expands opportunity rather than government.
Democrats spent the campaign promising lower costs and relief for families while offering few specifics. Their records tell a clearer story. Under Crowley, Milwaukee County nearly doubled its sales tax and raised property-tax levies in five of his six years. He has argued higher taxes are not a burden. Hold on to your wallets. With full control of state government, that approach is now on track to become statewide policy.
The new Democratic leadership also lacks any real private-sector experience. Crowley built his career in campaign organizing and political staff work. Neubauer and Hesselbein have the same resume. They know politics. Being good at politics will mean paying back their powerful political allies.
Republicans know what it takes to support a family or grow a small business, and we will keep that perspective front and center.
Over the next two years, I know Republicans will stand firmly with the taxpayers and job creators who built Wisconsin’s success. Conservatives will offer constructive alternatives, demand accountability, and make sure voters can see the difference between growing government and growing opportunity.
Many newly elected Democrats presented themselves as moderates; their leadership team has a different agenda.
Wisconsin’s strengths—our workforce, our communities, and our tradition of common-sense governance—are durable. Republicans will work every day to protect those strengths, highlight what is working, and prepare for the moment when voters again choose balance and results over one-party control.
The next two years will test our resolve. They will also clarify the choice ahead. We are ready for both.

Charles has always been professional, fair and dogged in his reporting.
And, on top of it all, he's a damn nice guy.
