Wisconsin's @derrickvanorden and @RepMarkPocan fight like cats and dogs on X. But which one is the more effective legislator? According to hard data from the Center for Effective Lawmaking, it's Van Orden (table below which I compiled from data on the Center's website).

Tammy Baldwin to America: Drop Dead. @SenatorBaldwin continues to block reopening of the government even though the GOP has reportedly secured enough YES votes from Dems. From FoxNews:

Illegal Immigration under Biden severely hurt the Housing Market and the ability for young people to buy homes. This is not talked about enough!!!

My experience exactly. I would include engineering in tech.

Indeed, @SenChrisLarson's comprehension of mathematics may well be on par with @repGwenmoore who herself recently demonstrated her inability to understand graphs. https://t.co/NH0NYd4gPa

Milwaukee's @SenChrisLarson demonstrates that attendance at a private school (Thomas More '99) is no guarantee of the ability to do math or understand economics. The 1.4 percent rise in grocery prices that he rails about is on an annualized basis less that the 2.0 percent

The ACA subsidies sunset at the end of this year because that’s what the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 requires (see Pub. Law 117-169, sec. 12001). Rep. Pocan voted for that act (link here: https://t.co/aIptwZc0wu). The expiring ACA credits are literally a policy he voted

It's not that Democratic Socialists like @FrancescaHongWI care about the working class, they don't. What annoys the heck out of these people is that the credentialed elites aren't getting a big enough share of the pie.

Palantir's Alex Karp hits the nail on the head regarding the reason for Mamdani's rise: elites are envious of blue collar workers with practical skills who make more than they do with their worthless degrees. 🎯🎯🎯

None of the Wisconsin Democrats are at all serious about economics. The forum on economics by the WI Tech Council devolved into a discussion of the virtues of legal pot and abortion. Such a bunch of clowns.

Grade inflation is a big problem in higher ed. What percentage of students get an A in Yale courses? Economics: 52% Chemistry: 62% Biology: 72% African American Studies: 82% Women’s Studies: 92%

The shutdown should spark a serious reevaluation of the SNAP program. The claim that one-seventh of the population of Wisconsin, a state in the middle of the most productive agricultural region in the world, would go hungry were it not for government handouts simply beggars

If you think it's an exaggeration to call Zohran Mamdani a communist, you need to watch this.

Now the Milwaukee Journal is reporting that Republicans are voting to end the shutdown while Baldwin and most Democrats are voting to perpetuate it. It's so obvious that the Dems are at fault that they've even lost the Milwaukee Journal.

Minneapolis steps back from the brink ... for now.

A more masterful graphic owning the economically illiterate @RepGwenMoore than I was able to produce thanks to @SoquelCreek.

Just as Orwell wrote in 1984: “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

Milwaukee's @RepGwenMoore is so economically illiterate that she doesn't realize that the runup in grocery prices occurred during the Biden Administration, not the Trump Administration. To help her out, I have highlighted in red the period of the Biden Presidency. @RepTiffany

Memo to Minneapolis from the USA: We are not laughing with you. We are LAUGHING AT YOU.
