Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. This hour, we continue our democracy victory lap. We'll settle down and get back to business tomorrow. But for today, we're going to celebrate at least a bit. With this article as an anchor, we examine some of the winners and losers of the Wisconsin spring election. Some big winners: obviously Justice-Elect Susan Crawford, state Democrats, and democracy in general. And a few big losers: Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the Shady Shill BS himself. Likewise, some of BS's hoped-for conservative colleagues on the state's Supreme Court, like Justice Rebecca Bradley, who bemoaned Crawford's win and says she's not looking forward to working together!
As we discuss winners and losers, let us never forget that We the People make this government. And We the People won last night. You know who else won last night? Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), who held the Senate floor for over 25 hours to protest the Trump administration's cruel and reckless actions. Booker now holds the record for longest floor speech, stripping infamous racist Strom Thurmond of the title for his anti-Civil Rights Act filibuster.
