"Seize" being a key word here, since these new maps wouldn't be passed by the ordinary, constitutionally specified lawmaking process but on the whim of four Supreme Court justices.

Democrats would seize control of the #wisconsin Legislature under almost all maps submitted to the liberal court, yet the media are misleading readers to think otherwise. The reporting has been disgraceful.

Jay is correct that numbers are available. Wisconsin DOT says it's 91,000 cars a day using 794 just east of the Marquette, 77,000 a day across Water Street. Author Charlie Rosenberg is correct that ripping out the freeway will clog surface streets, making driving miserable.

complete dereliction of editorial responsibility, @GregJBorowski & all who let this through. this graf alone is a giant red flag disqualifying the author. "hard numbers" have been available for over a year--this author could not be bothered to do the minimum research?

Remarkable how strenuously the Democrat apparatus is trotting out every amplifier they can think of when Hovde clearly was referring to a particularly flagrant episode of voting chicanery uncovered by law enforcement.

Woke dude w/a man bun demands the Elmbrook Board eschew pesky “random” parents who reject curriculum taught through the lens of Marxist critical theories. Anti-communists shouldn’t influence educational policies, he says, because “public schools are socialist instititions.”🤡

She wasn't a little drunk: She had twice the legal level of blood alcohol. She wasn't speeding a little: She was driving 60 to 65 mph on Fond du Lac Ave. It wasn't a dangerous intersection -- if you stop for the red light. She didn't.

It must be noted that @wisconsin_now reported that your governor was using a secret email account a day ago. The @JournalSentinel only now reports on the matter, seemingly only after it could get the defensive talking points from the Evers administration.

It's hysterical that Tyler Katzenberger of the Journal Sentinel is using the argument that "Scott Walker did it" to imply "nothing to see here" and bail Evers out of controversy (even though AG Schimel discouraged it). We're old enough to remember the JS trashing and constantly

That one, the FastMap, is hilarious on the Senate districts (below). Yes, that's Madison's Willy Street and Oconomowoc in the same district, and another one gerrymanders UWM and Waterford together, all the interest of parceling out huddled urban leftists.

Very useful, in that the maps easily let you see that the "solution" to supposed gerrymandering is ... harder gerrymandering in the opposite direction. See Racine and Kenosha sliced up five ways to maximally dilute suburban conservatives.

Mind you, @UWMadison is demanding $4,200 to cover "security costs" because unhinged leftists might violently attack people listening to a conservative speaker. It's charging not the would-be attackers but the could-be victims.

Conservative group @yaf is hosting @michaeljknowles on Wednesday, 3/13. But now, @UWMadison is demanding $4,271.17 in "security costs." They don't charge liberal groups & they didn't even charge for @benshapiro or @MattWalshBlog . Why is UW trying to shut down this event?

The Dem redistricting lawsuit is asking SCOWIS to remove 17 Senators from office (12 GOP & 5 DEM) duly elected in the 2022 election. Does @GovEvers support using the courts to overturn these elections? Why are @js_politics , @CapTimes , or @WiStateJournal not asking him?

Key point: The man who is bankrolling a lawsuit to kill off school options used by more than 60,000 Wisconsin kids is the same guy whose admitted lie about a hunting accident was so revolting, a newspaper just won Wisconsin's largest-ever libel judgment against him.
