BREAKING: Wisconsin Democratic legislative leaders have their shit together and are ready to govern.
EXCLUSIVE: Democratic legislative leaders were so confident that they would win Tuesday's election that they have been secretly meeting with the Legislative Fiscal Bureau for months to plan an aggressive liberal agenda that they will enact as soon as they are sworn in this January. heartlandpost.com/dems-secre…

The trifecta. Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Dianne Hesselbein, Governor David Crowley, Lt Gov Sarah Godlewski, Assembly Speaker Greta Neubauer, WisDems Chair Devin Remiker. A generational victory. The work of thousands, over years. All worth it.

From a super-minority to a majority in two cycles. 👏👏👏
BREAKING: Democrats just FLIPPED the Wisconsin Senate blue! Wisconsin Democrats were finally able to run on fair maps, and voters rejected the GOP, which had long used gerrymandering to hold onto power.

Jenna Jacobson is a second-term state representative from Oregon, Wis. Wisconsin got new maps in 2024. She thought this might mean a more "purple budget" in 2025. But the budget committee co-chair Howard Marklein "didn't do that." "So, I decided it was time to send him home.”

The money tells the story: the battle for majority control of the State Senate is just about a done deal for Democrats. Republicans surging resources into red districts to minimize the damage and preserve their chances of winning back majority in upcoming cycle(s). ⬇️
"Either Democrats are making them freak out because they're spending money there or Republicans see something really bad in the polling right now, or both." WisPolitics editor JR Ross on the fierce battle for control of the state Legislature:

Looking forward to being able to call @Jennajacobsonwi "Senator-elect" in just a few short days!
The 17th Senate race will be a key determinant in which party holds the majority in the upper chamber of the Wisconsin Legislature. One top Republican calls it a "dead heat," while Dems say they're "cautiously optimistic. jsonline.com/story/news/poli…

Nearly 112,000 clean energy jobs were paused or cancelled by federal cuts. That kind of chaos pushes young workers away from skilled trades. BAAJA would not only create new jobs, but also bring back the certainty our workers need . @MarkWarner @timkaine washingtonmonthly.com/2026/1…

New Marquette Law School Poll finds 51% of likely voters supporting Democrat David Crowley for governor, and 44% supporting Republican Tom Tiffany, with 4% undecided. #mulawpoll

Last-minute spending on the State Senate might suggest Democrats are way more nervous than they’re letting on. We discuss at 5:06!

1/ @SenMarklein asked southwest Wisconsin voters this week to judge him by his record. Fair enough. As Joint Finance co-chair, his record is the state budget, and his column skipped the parts small businesses care about most. captimes.com/opinion/guest-c…

You’re telling me that some of the most reliable every-election voters were waiting for early voting after all? And those “absentee voting is down in Madison” takes were cope-tastically idiotic?
Our first look at the first day of early voting in Wisconsin from Madison! 1st Day 2022: 1,823 1st Day 2026: 3,117 +77% turnout over last midterm in the Democratic powerhouse. City of Milwaukee coming later!
