I haven't read or watched news since earlier Tuesday

today an email popped up in my work inbox, and the title was "Democrats Defy History".

I waited a bit before coming here to see what's going on.

That was the best headline I've read in my life.

I wish other states had followed Michigan's lead -- we kept all major statewide offices (Governor, Sec. of State, Attorney General), kept control of the MI Supreme Court, and, best of all, flipped the Michigan State Senate to blue for the first time in 40 years, and flipped the State House to blue. We also passed early voting and abortion rights props.

I just can't understand Wisconsin, though. How could they re-elect that Russian asset traitorous creep, Johnson?

for them to go from Feingold to that trash Johnson does not compute.

Didn’t watch news last night, didn’t turn on them news this am and this is the first time I had read the news.

I was feeling dread like 2016 and was too scared today to read if we lost our democracy. Sad that Johnson won re election in Wisconsin as he is a major jerk. But Happy Fetterman won.
