Trump just mocked and laughed off the request from Governor Tony Evers for more disaster relief aid in Wisconsin after devastating flooding.
He’s on stage with @derrickvanorden and @TomTiffanyWI who signed a letter asking them to release the relief funding.

Hey @TomTiffanyWI - Keep our city’s name out of your mouth when you’re spewing lies about the 2020 election. Or even better, just knock it off entirely. If you think it’s a path to political success, talk to Michael Gableman. He can’t charge by the hour anymore.

In a recent interview, Tiffany launched into election denier conspiracy theories about Green Bay, which had long been put to rest. This reveals him as a true believer in this nonsense.
After watching this interview (with @KristinBrey and Steve Scaffidi), I texted @amaadair, asking if he saw the interview.
"Yes," he responded. “And I am pissed. It’s bullshit and it led to real people’s lives being threatened, harassed. Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted.”

VANDALISM AT 9-11 MEMORIAL: According to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office, there are ‘antisemitic phrases and bible references’ on the Lisbon Village Hall and 9-11 memorial.
Law enforcement leaders say this happened sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning. On Sunday, some parts have been removed and the road leading to the memorial is blocked off to cars.
The incident is currently under investigation. @CBS58

Every Democrat since Carter has decreased the federal deficit.
Every Republican since Eisenhower has increased the federal deficit.
If there is ever a social phenomenon that needs to be studied, it is how the GOP has been able to hoodwink people for decades into thinking that they the party of “fiscal responsibility” when there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support that claim.
And I mean ZERO.

when you make an account on this site you should have to sign a waiver that says "I understand that gothic cathedrals required centuries of trained labor under complex systems of apprenticeship and certification overseen by guilds" so that we can avoid doing this every other day
"you need a degree to build a house"
Men without degrees 500 years ago:
Community note
Construction of Medieval cathedrals was done under the guild system. Much of the it was done & overseen by artisans who were formally educated through the appropriate guild. This formal education being a requirement to even do certain work is a defining element of guilds.

This is the erasure of the dudes who drove the home-made "car" that was a couch around UWM campus circa 04-07'. Maybe overlap with your timeline too @ScottieMeyers?

#UWM students came up with a new creative mode of transportation to get around #Milwaukee:

NEW: Minocqua Brewing Co. owner Kirk Bangstad announced today he's running for governor.
The FBI recently contacted Bangstad over his offer to give out free beer the day President Trump dies.
"I'm not gonna stand for this anymore, and I'm gonna run for governor of Wisconsin"

Very sad news from Waukesha, where Waukesha County Clerk Meg Wartman has died.
She retired mid-term in 2024 following a cancer diagnosis

Tony Evers proposed a permanent ban on partisan gerrymandering *last week*. Republicans could pass it today and leave all this fearmongering absurdity aside.

Book It
If democrats win the senate, assembly and Guv race in November, Wisconsin will be redrawn 8-0 in favor of democrats.
Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay will be split into multiple districts.
A purple battleground state will be full blue and by blue think Walz/Mamdani/Pritzker for at least a decade if not more.
The level of urgency for moderate and right of center voters in Wisconsin better be ready to match the enthusiasm of the ultra left.

Brookfield Ald. Kris Seals resigned:
“I would like to apologize to the Muslim community for my insensitive and inappropriate statements I made online. I spoke to a member of the Community over the weekend, and he educated me on the Community and their willingness to forgive.“

There is simply no excuse for this kind of rhetoric. Wisconsin deserves elected officials who serve all their constituents — not ones who call for violence against them. He should resign. And learn how to spell.
His since-deleted LinkedIn profile included comments about shooting Muslims with "Bacon rapped [sic] bullets" and a post about hanging former President Barack Obama. fox6now.com/news/brookfield-…

Congrats to Mayor Ponto.
We didn't get the result we wanted tonight, but I'm proud of the positive campaign we ran, and I look forward to continuing to serve the residents of the City of Brookfield.
Thanks to my family and supporters. Y'all are the best!
Time for a beer.

This is genuinely one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in baseball. Robbing a homerun is hard and rare enough. Robbing two in a game is the record. But three?? One in a million chance. Take a bow, Jo Addell. #RepTheHalo
