The thing that's prevented this from happening in Wisconsin is that Milwaukee is too close to Dane County (which is almost entirely blue) for this to happen
Everyone needs to know Nashville is a Dem stronghold. Has been for decades.

Did they really "underbus" him if his orders were carried out to completion? It sounds like they went along with it.
Gift link. Folks in the DOD and military are actively trying to underbus Hegseth.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

This summer, ICE agents arrested George. He was detained for 3 days, strip-searched, and forced to provide a DNA sample—all without charges, legal counsel, or being allowed to contact his family.

(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

This Mamdani advisor is trying to distract us from kitchen table issues like Obamacare subsidies
A top Mamdani adviser tells me internal data shows taking on Trump's authoritarian abuses resonates. It appeals to working class voters across all demographics, countering the frequent claim that this is a "distraction" from issues working people "really" care about.

Pretty stunning numbers here.

ICE Has Diverted Over 25,000 Officers from Their Jobs
New data highlight how widespread this misuse of government personnel and resources is. Congress should prevent this diversion of appropriated funds in the next government spending bill.

This is a distraction from kitchen table issues like Popeyes restaurants
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

tbh I don't think this is as uniting as it seems. Dems and (most) independents want them for justice reasons; Republicans want them released because they think it will make it open season on Dems.

Don’t call it power consolidation. They are massively unpopular and stupid. Sure, they’re building concentration camps and are waging a war of terror against migrants while at the cusp of passing a bill that destroys the American social safety net in exchange for more secret police but

Validates my theory that the biggest reason young men (Zoomers and younger) appear to be shifting right is not Right Wing Media, or bad influencers like Rogan and Mr. Beast, or a feckless liberal media, or "wokeism," but their parents.
the fraction of parents reading to their 0-4 year old kids frequently has apparently fallen by 23 POINTS since 2012 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...
Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests
Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love

neocons were always radicals, whose mvmt emerged out of anti-soviet communism, and pivoted to the right for what they saw as the excesses of a left that embraced autocracy when it was their autocrats. so it’s not that weird to see them pivot back to the left once the right openly embraced autocracy.
