Looooong thread from Ben Wikler in #Wisconsin. Here's a little bit of it. 1/...🧵 #Harris
Sometimes, in a campaign, you can feel that things are off. That people you thought you could count on are telling you they’re undecided.
This year, things feel very on. It feels like new supporters are coming out of the woodwork.
On the ground, the vibes are on our side.
YES!! They’ve seen enough!🥳
Decision Desk always gets it early and right!
Susan Crawford was projected to win an open seat on the #Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court’s 4-3 liberal majority intact and delivering a blow to Elon #Musk and #Trump, according to Decision Desk HQ.

A 167-year-old statute requires trans people to publish their old and new names in a newspaper. Families and advocates worry the requirement now poses a risk as President Donald Trump has attacked transgender rights.

There’s a protest outside of #immigration court in #Chicago today, supporting #RamonMoralesReyes, a #Milwaukee, #Wisconsin man who snatched by #ICE & accused of writing a letter threatening #Trump.
There's just one problem: the letter was fake.
Another man is now accused of forging it an effort to get Reyes — who could testify against him in a criminal case — deported.
Yet Reyes is still facing deportation.
