NEW: Believe it or not, itβs that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.
Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

The level of misinformation spread by proponents of heliocentrism, many of whom are professional astronomers and many of whom have fancy letters and affiliations affixed to their names, is really demoralizing. β Ajesse Singali, writing about the trial of Galileo, 1633

Trump hates when anyone but himself gets media attention, even bad media attention.

Too many women in the workforce and delaying or foregoing childbearing? The Heritage Foundation has a plan for that. And it is the opposite of Robin Hood: It's a huge cash transfer from poor single moms to to wealthier married parents.

Weekend at Bernieβs, but Bernie is Trump and the two people propping him up are the NYT and Washington Post

Btw, the reason all these rich guys are having to turn to AI assistants to run their lives is that they don't realise how reliant their predecessors were on the invisible labour of women.
As per usual, we owed the feds and way overpaid the state because Wisconsin refuses to fully fund public education. The refund is nice, Robin, but I know itβs at the expense of my special ed students
