NEW: Data from the Wisconsin Policy Forum shows that settlement dollars from opioid manufacturers is making an impact in combating overdoses.

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel refused to sue these companies. That's a problem.

Let's recombobulate:

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel refused to hold opioid manufacturers accountable
Funds coming from opioid settlements are now saving lives in Wisconsin. As state AG, Brad Schimel refused to join these lawsuits. That’s a problem as he seeks a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Chuck Schumer made it clear, the cavalry isn’t coming. It’s up to us to send a message to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/its-up-to-...
It’s up to us, Wisconsin
While the fight might not be coming from national Democrats, Wisconsin voters have a unique opportunity at this moment to send a message to the Trump-Musk administration.

Beyond disgusting.

They will try to rewrite history to serve their purpose, but we won't forget the accomplishments of our citizenry, no matter their color or creed.

The latest @nytimes.com op-ed from James Carville is probably the most ill-conceived, tone-deaf, out of touch political take I've read in a while.

A soft coup is taking place and his bold maneuver for the"do-nothing democrats" is to... do nothing. Galaxy-brain stuff here.

BREAKING: Today, the Wisconsin DOJ and I are joining a coalition of states challenging an unconstitutional executive order issued yesterday that seeks to end citizenship for certain kids born in America.

My statement ⬇️
“Attempting to deny citizenship to kids who were born in the United States of America is as egregious and wrong-headed as it is unconstitutional,” said Gov. Evers. “We must defend Americans’ constitutional rights, including the rights of kids who are born on U.S. soil, and that is exactly what we are doing today.”

New Superman looks pretty fun. Kinda busy with all the heroes and stuff, but we'll see how it all gets pulled together.

Also there is at least one big, grey monster, so hopefully that'll satisfy the Snyderverse fanboys.

Wondering if there are any good novels or other pieces of fiction in which a society is governed by an AI or non-human element that people could recommend. Satire, dystopia, utopia, whatchu got?
