    I'm a state employee and still need a part-time job to make ends meet. Also a student in the UW system. Walker ruined this state. Evers can only do so much. Our neighbors in MN are doing much better now. Walker: the slippery slime ball. 😒

      And Biden has ruined the economy 2 exclamation mark that's why everybody is now voting for Donald Trump who were hardcore Trump haters. Don't believe me just go watch the attendance who witnessed Donald Trump have an interview with Dr Phil and how they say they feel like they've just been gas lit so hard by left this media into believing lies about Donald Trump win in person they said he was just a lot more empathetic and endearing then what all the clips have shown him to be that come from CNN and MSNBC and the rest of them. Trump will be our president and this is coming from someone who did not like Trump in the beginning mind you

      Correct. Scott Walker was a Conservative, that was used by higher powered Conservatives. This is what Conservatism gets you. Conservatism is/always has been opposed to Democracy.

      If Ever's wasn't dealing with a state legistlature that has been gerrymandered to death he would be doing as much as MN for sure. I know our maps are getting sorted out but sadly its not really gonna help during his time (unless we can keep him in for another term). Ever's has pushed some great bills and has fought for public ed, expanding the social safety net, improving infrastructure and he helped a lot of small businesses survive Covid with his programs. I hope we can get Tony Ever's a 3rd term and get rid of Ron Johnson who is WI's worst "export" since Joe McCarthy

    Great reporting! The nation has moved so far to the right since Reagan that the political landscape is unrecognizable. The attacks against labor are unrelenting. My home state, Rhode Island, in the person of Gina Raimondo (and a host of others in state government), took the cost of living adjustment away from public service retirees. Union leaders and much of the rank and file fell into line in this financial grab. That Raimondo is Biden’s secretary of commerce tells much about how far to the right the Democrats have moved. A guess, having been involved for decades in the political system, is that there is no easy way out of this right-wing juggernaut.

    I think the mistake here is that Dan assumes that a movement away from progressive politics is somehow a "fall" but it doesn't appear that way when you are there.
    Being from Minnesota we're supposed to hate people from Wisconsin, well not really hate, it's a rivalry. However, I have friends in Wisconsin so I'm there often and it is a beautiful place, with friendly towns and diverse cities.
    There is also a strange notion of labor = unions. Well, come on, that's not true. Remember, FDR, probably the most union friendly president ever, reminded everyone that unions are very much needed, however, unionizing public workers was crazy. That would pit the workers against the people, the taxpayers. That would be an untenable situation.
    Wisconsin isn't perfect, that's why I live in Minnesota, that's a joke, but it's not a bad place to live.

    I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717354582 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i-....................
