Their endorsements worked awesomely well for Brad Schimel for WI Supreme Court!

Ha! I literally just had this conversation with a maga relative who was complaining that public schools “have to” play private schools in sports and I told him that’s what he voted for! His maga reps in WI want our tax dollars to go to private schools so congrats—you got what you voted for!

The Atlantic has an excellent (and terrifying) article about this, just out, titled “Here’s How the AI Crash Happens.”

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.
