  • Do you want to eat? Cuz those fine 'sconny farmers grow a lot of food, if we give them the support they need to do so. Just for the record, here’s who showed, and who didn’t even send a staff member:

    Attended: "Madison-area U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Black Earth), state Sen. Jeff Smith (D-Eau Claire) and state Reps. Jodi Emerson (D-Eau Claire) and Christian Phelps (D-Eau Claire) were in attendance.

    Missing in Action: U.S. Reps. Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden, state Reps. Rob Sommerfeld (R-Bloomer), Treig Pronschinske (R-Mondovi) and Clint Moses (R-Mondovi) and state Sens. Jesse James (R-Thorp) and Rob Stafsholt (R-New Richmond) were all invited but did not attend or send a staff member. "








  • If one were to read the first line of the article: “Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.”

    And a few paraphraphs down: “How can all of this be accomplished? The first step is for members of Congress to take a strong public stand against any government contracts awarded to Musk’s companies. From there, elected officials should begin turning their stated opposition into actual votes. The most powerful tool for this is in the hands of the U.S. Senate: the filibuster. Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.”

    Just do it! Encourage your representatives to JUST DO IT!! Block him at every turn.


  • I love how he throws up the excuse, “…that is not the way we do things in the House,…” as tho’ propriety or social or even governmental norms mean anything whatsoever to him or the rest of the GOP.

    And then this reversal after nearly 24 hours go by, "Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”
