“Our country 🇺🇲 faces many challenges, and I am continuing to fight to solve those challenges and those problems for each and every one of you,” @RepTonyWied said.
@RickCrossonWI, on the other hand, took Wied to task for failing to place checks ✅️ on the @realDonaldTrump administration’s #tradewars and #military action.
That played out early on in Thursday's @WFRVLocal5-hosted debate in sparring over the 🇮🇷 #Iran war.

THANK YOU @mikiebarb @UWLaFollette, the Madison Club & attendees of the @wispolitics chat with the veteran reporter-host of @nytimes “The Daily.” We talked about the state of journalism, politics, pizza and took audience questions. His podcast is worth a listen.

Not to dunk on poll averaging, but let me dunk on poll averaging. I don’t think it has improved the credibility of polling, if anything, the more prominent the idea of averaging polls has become, the worse the reputation of polling has become. Get out of the practice of averaging polls and you won’t have to issue these embarrassing releases about “updating” your poll averages. Let’s not let pollsters HIDE behind the averages.
