“‘80% of our canvassing interactions are about Musk,’ Matt Mareno, the chair of the Waukesha County Democratic Party, told me. The county is heavily Republican, but Mareno said that many ppl have expressed frustration that Musk is … not accountable to anyone.’” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Dan Kaufman's THE FALL OF WISCONSIN is a deeply reported account of how the state was turned into a laboratory for national conservatives bent on remaking the country. Read Kaufman's latest on tomorrow's Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
