Was talking with somebody last night about whether today's plutocrats were objectively "worse" than original Gilded Age. Them: "Well, what are your examples?" Me: "Big three: Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg. "Then Ellisons, Kochs, Singer, Schwarzman. Princelings like Lutnick, Uihlein. No contest."

If you are wondering who Tom Tiffany works for, it’s not Wisconsinites. It’s the THREE Republican Billionaires who’ve dumped $34 million into his campaign. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

24 million dollars. That's how much three billionaires have given to Congressman Tom Tiffany because they know he's willing to sell our precious state to the highest bidder.

Doubleheader last night of Patti Smith at Riverside Theater and Grateful Drag at Vivarium. Patti read, honored Coltrane’s 100th birthday, and sang beautifully ending with People Have the Power sing-a-long. Bertha the Grateful Drag brought joy and made the line “Ain’t No Time to Hate” an anthem

I was always told that if you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re on the menu. That’s why, if we’re going to give our farmers the support they need, it starts with hearing from them directly.

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Congressman Tom Tiffany boasted about defunding Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin. That directly impacts women's ability to access prenatal and postpartum services, HIV services, birth control and more. Tom Tiffany is too extreme for Wisconsin.

IMAGE Tweet from Tom Tiffany "I defunded Planned Parenthood at the state level and will work in Congress, so no taxpayers' dollars go to support abortions."
