David Crowley's full statement on data centers in the NBC interview
I'm not a hard liner on data centers so I'm generally ok with his position. I personally think the issue is more nuanced than the calls for a moratorium give it credit for.
But if you think he needs to push harder don't just comment on Reddit, email the campaign! info@crowleyforwi.com

Wisconsinites (hopefully there are a few of you here), what do you think of the democratic candidates for governor?
I'm undecided, here are my thoughts:
Hong - Like how she is outside the establishment and brings populist policies, but think she tends towards being ideological and reactionary.
Crowley - He's fine. He's done an ok job running Milwaukee County. I think he'd be an adequate governor but hard to feel excited about him, especially with the drop out drama. I don't love how he was basically anointed by Abele years ago.
Barnes - Wish he would have sat this race out. He actually has the best day one plan that is achievable (expanding medicaid via the ACA) and meets the moment, but after his wet noodle senate campaign and losing to Ron Johnson I do not want to vote for him in primary.
Kelda Roys - I think she would be a great governor, progressive policies with real experience. More pragmatic than Hong, but her polling numbers are trash.
Brennan - 20 years ago I think he'd be a front runner, but not the right candidate today. Would be happy to see him in the cabinet though.

Bryan Steil when he tries to get his legislation to ban law makers from insider trading passed but refuses to include the President in them
Bryan Steil has introduced bills that seek to prevent congressman from insider trading among other things, but he refuses to include the President in these bills.
This is as Trump has already profited $2.2 billion in office and as his family seeks to enrich themselves by using the power of the executive branch to get a mining deal in Kazakhstan that they are personally invested in.
On a side note, it's really frustrating living in WI-1 and seeing the absolute lack of a campaign and push to replace Steil. As far as I can tell there have been no debates and the candidates running are doing a terrible job of campaigning.

Can anyone give ideas for why these sentences are justified? Seems purely political to me and incredibly stifling to our right to protest.

History of the screw worm and how it was eradicated
Isaac keeps bringing up the screw worm, and a few months back Radio Lab released this great podcast about it. In part because they saw they were returning.
https://radiolab.org/podcast/return-of-the-flesheaters
I'd highly recommend listening, but here are the cliff notes:
Years ago they decided to eradicate the screw worm from the US, so they created a bunch of sterile males and were able to eradicate them from North America entirely. They still existed in South America and could cross into North America on the isthmus of Panama. To prevent them from returning, they spread sterile males on the isthmus. This worked for a long time, but eventually it became less effective and the screw worm started making it's way north through Mexico again.
The episode ends with a discussion about whether we should make the screw worm population entirely extinct.
This episode doesn't really cover the DOGE cuts, but it does talk about how this was a federally funded program that cost very little to run, considering the benefits. Something like $50 million/year.

Scott Pelley on being fired. Talking about how Bari Weiss was trying to dictate Trump talking points into a story about the Renee Good killing by ICE. I think Tangle's takes on Bari Weiss taking over CBS are aging poorly

I've been enraged by the gerrymandering of Republican Party in Wisconsin and made cynical by how conservative voters didn't care enough to force their party create fair maps.
The Wisconsin State Supreme Court rulings that are bringing fair maps at the state level has me hopeful for Wisconsin's future.
But now with the national maps entering a gerrymander war, I'm uncertain how it makes sense to proceed.
I want to enshrine fair maps into the Wisconsin constitution at the state level.
However, I no longer think that makes sense to do for the US House seats in Wisconsin, considering the current assault on democracy brought to us by Trump and the SC.
Then again, being a purple state, maybe it's best to stick to get fair maps for our national seats too so that we can bring our representation more in line with our voters.
