Elon Musk's $1M checks for voting in WI's Supreme Court election likely violate Wisconsin law (Statute 12.11), which bans offering value to induce or reward voting. The WI Elections Commission confirms incentives over $1 are illegal. Though aimed at boosting participation, this could be seen as election bribery.

As a Pastor, I rarely endorse political candidates (even though there are no rules to prohibit it). But I'm making an exception this year. Vote for @RepJackKimble. Even if you don't live in CA's 54th District, write him in. Steve Bannon will make sure it gets to the right place

In its 2nd survey since the pandemic, DPI continued to ring alarm bells about the persistence of anxiety, depression and suicide among Wisconsin's teenagers. None of the concerning numbers expressed in 2021 has gone down.

Hey humans on my west shore in #Wisconsin - you all need to #VoteNo on August 13 if you love the #GreatLakes The 2 proposed amendments will slow down approved federal funding dispersement- including infrastructure and conservation.

You know what to do! Vote NO on the two constitutional amendments on your primary ballot. The MAGA Republicans in the Legislature are mad and doing what they do “best” - trying to take power away from @GovEvers doing his job!

On one hand, you could let the elected governor govern. On the other, you could have the often-inactive legislature take the reins and make decisions on federal funding in a committee that routinely blocks action or takes key votes in the dead the night. therecombobulationarea.news/…

🔥 MUST READ. I truly believe that the Aug 13th primary election is as important to the future of our state as the WI Supreme Court election earlier this year just because of these two referendum questions. Giving more power to the WI GOP-controlled Legislature is unconscionable.

Any path forward in Milwaukee education needs to incorporate all sectors, or, we will just keep spinning our collective wheels.

If Wisconsin state legislators are serious about using the opportunity of new @MilwaukeeMPS leadership to ignite meaningful reform, one Big Move would be to empower MPS with time to catch students up to grade level. therecombobulationarea.news/…

For those saying that Americans are righteously angry because the level of prices is up even though the rate of inflation has fallen, a history lesson

ICYMI, I wrote a column about why the Kids in Crisis stories we've been writing this year matter to me. Spoiler: I used to be a kid in crisis.
I get vulnerable about my own struggles with mental health in this column about why Kids in Crisis is so vital to me as a reporter and human. It's liberating to use the I.

This thread is an excellent breakdown of the state of play with the fake electors here in Wisconsin.
Jay Bullock @folkbum.bsky.social retweeted
Remember, @paddymac was working for @SenRonJohnson when he tried to pass the list of fake electors to @Mike_Pence. So he has a personal interest in lying about the fake electors.
Remember that whenever you read the words "fake electors" in connection with Wisconsin, you're reading a lie that someone's peddling to you.
Because you'll be hearing a lot more of it.

the apologia here involves (and i'm not projecting; he says it downthread) these fake electors merely being an alternate slate in case trump won his appeals. that position is ahistorical spin--an outright lie and fable. very short thread ... (1/6)

Mike Pence's NYT op-ed is a perfect example of why I publish Abortion, Every Day: His column uses pretty much every language trick I've warned about for the last two years.
He also repeats debunked lies about abortion that I sort of can't believe made it past a fact-checker nytimes.com/2024/04/20/opini…
