From our friends at the Wisconsin State Climate Office, every county in Wisconsin has warmed during the winter between 1950 and 2024.
And in every county, it's a statistically significant trend.

Between Mamdani and Trump only one of them wants to seize the means of production, and it is Trump.
Trump on Mamdani: "I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right? It's gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there."

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.
Check out how tiny the crowds were:
Philly: 200

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Here’s hoping your local 4th of July celebration looked like this one.
Leave it to Vermonters — who live in a state that is dreary & cold most of the year — to turn up the brightness with kindness, & turn up the heat by speaking truth to power.
