@atmedley He will be good. Reminds me a lot of Aaron Ashby oddly enough. Might not be a great starter, but his stuff is disgusting and could see him being a key bullpen piece later in the year. His ERA too is a bit untelling of how good he’s been recently… usually just a blow up inning

Brewer main starter ERAs this season:
Harrison - 2.09
Misiorowski - 2.12
Crow - 2.61
Patrick - 3.06
Woodruff - 3.60
Henderson - 4.15 (will improve)
Sproat - 5.75 (will improve)
This season is going to be incredible.

@NippleFight @powdrmonkeygurl @SamuelWait85180 @TimHannan Anyone who uses the term “ independent commission” should be disregarded immediately.
English
@powdrmonkeygurl @SamuelWait85180 @TimHannan There is no such thing as an “independent commission”.
An “independent commission” in California would be about as non-partisan as the DNC.

The Supreme Court is not even pretending to be impartial anymore. Republicans can redistrict but Democrats can’t.

@ronrule @EricJBott Local politicians would probably make it a TIF/TID district so all taxes would go back to the developers for the next 20 years.

The Box Elder County budget is ~$80 million.
Property tax where O’Leary wants to build is currently $250k/yr. Once the data center is built, it will be $100 million/yr.
Would you support a data center if it ELIMINATED your property taxes and didn’t increase energy/water costs?

@munkle200 @EricLDaugh STFU, you’ve got a rainbow flag in your profile. You wouldn’t be in the same room with a red hat even if your life depended on it.

🚨 AWESOME! President Trump has infuriated Democrats again by fixing the old, BROKEN floor of the walkway to the Oval Office — going from full-blown dilapidated to glossy and HIGH QUALITY
This is what having a builder-in-chief looks like.
"The old, broken, slate floor on the Walkway going to the Oval Office from the White House. The new granite floor replacing the old slate going to the Oval! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

@nigelreynolds @EricLDaugh Please find these children who are going without food. If they exist, we need to point their parents in the direction of their local social services department so they can enroll in SNAP benefits and any of the many other programs for which they might qualify.
English
@EricLDaugh Yet children are going without food and medical costs have gone through the roof so very few can afford to get treatment. But trumps floor looks good as does his personal swimming pool outside so the old Hippo can go for a swim.

@wiz_political @SteveAustinWI Private businesses must do this periodically when things get tight. They breathe in and breathe out. Public entities seem to just breathe in.

@SteveAustinWI This logic needs to be applied to all areas of life.

When Musk took over Twitter it had 7,000 employees. He immediately cut it to 2,000. There were a few early bumps but the site didn't collapse. Public schools should be given a mandate to reduce administrator headcount by 50%.
Would solve all funding issues overnight.
The Bouyant C-R-A-I-G@CLennyWiebs
@SteveAustinWI Doesn’t matter. Dems will say we still need more teachers. It stopped being about educating kids a long time ago. It’s a jobs program for mediocre adults. Plain & simple

@meganjnovak @DanODonnellShow What are the chances they’ve felt this way about him and his administration all along and have just been too weak and afraid to admit it?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a party turn so quickly on statewide elected official who has been almost universally popular amongst their base until this week.
Wowza.

Winnebago County Executive and former Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz says Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is being a “dick” in his latest interview with @mattsmith_news
English
@mattsmith_news @WISN12News I’m sure you let him get away without explaining how he didn’t get one vote from his own party.
English
"No question," Evers said when asked if they had the voters earlier
The gov on the 3 Republicans who joined Dems in voting no: "Well, the Tiffany thing sure didn't help when he's corralling people saying if you vote for this you're going to be in a bad place."
THE IVIEW SUN...

"They believe that somehow putting money back into people's pockets that are struggling financially ... apparently they don't believe that's an issue."

@jwigderson @joeminocqua I didn’t know that Tom Tiffany controlled the Democrats in the Wisconsin Senate. I would have thought that our current governor would be working with them, not our future governor.

@joeminocqua One call, that's all, to Tom Tiffany, who lobbied against it.

Would you like the phone numbers of all the Dem legislators from Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay who just killed this?
A.J. Bayatpour@AJBayatpour
The superintendents of Wisconsin's "Big 5" districts (Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha, Green Bay) want the Legislature to reconvene and take up strictly the $300M in special education funding from the failed Evers-GOP surplus deal. "That's still real money to kids this year"
English
@mattsmith_news @WISN12News As governor, he should be the leader of the Democrat party in Wisconsin. It doesn’t even seem like he’s a member.

Just leaving Milwaukee after the 150 year Anniversary celebration of Jockey. Not too bad for a small company from Kenosha. I forgot how enjoyable Milwaukee is now that I don’t have to get Yount, Molitor, cooper, Ogilvie, etc out. Unbelievable new convention center with the friendliest people ever.

@SteveAustinWI @outdoorswi1 The one good thing about the school funding that was proposed was the it was being distributed on a straight per student basis. Which is how all school funding should be distributed.
English
Before WI politicians throw wheelbarrows of money at public K12 schools, we need a public discussion of exactly how many students they will be serving. WI projected to be way down over the next 5 years.
Marc Porter Magee 🎓@marcportermagee
I don’t think people have fully absorbed just how big the declines in student enrollment are going to be. Eight states are projected to experience DOUBLE DIGIT declines by 2031.

Democratic Party of Wisconsin chairman Devin Remiker told @reidepstein he believes Dems could make a 6-2 Dem congressional map ahead of 2028 if Dems take control of state government. nytimes.com/2026/05/09/us/…

@RealSamRogers Is there a graph showing home school and private school trends?

Wisconsin is withering away. It's heartbreaking.
Quinton Klabon@GhaleonQ
@marcportermagee @AlecMacGillis It is going to be far more than this, by the way. For Wisconsin, NCES predicted -4.6% by September 2031. It was -3.8% by September 2025! Wisconsin is predicting -12.5% by September 2031, almost triple NCES.

@CrimeWatchMpls @GovTimWalz They don’t need new gun laws when they don’t even use the ones they already have available.
English
CrimeWatchMpls@CrimeWatchMpls
89/ @GovTimWalz, @AGEllison & @MNCourts are totally serious about gun crime. Larry Bernard Clark, Jr, 05/30/2003, of north Minneapolis was convicted last year for being in possession of a machine gun (Glock with an auto sear). He was tossed a plea deal by Joseph Paquette from @HennepinAtty @MaryMoriarty's office offering a stay of imposition (no prison), probation, and 20 days of picking up trash in the park on STS. Judge Kerry Meyer thought that sentence was way too harsh and reduced his STS to 11 days of picking up trash and spun him out the door. Clark has violated probation at least twice since his fake sentencing. Judges Julie Allyn and Hilary Caligiuri separately continued Clark's stay of imposition and probation after each violation and spun him back out the door. NOW: Clark was picked up on another felony probation violation warrant in the case this morning. How many spins?? Pathetic. BTW, @DMNnews didn't charge him federally after all the tough talk of cracking down on machine gun possession.

Minnesotans deserve to know where their representatives stand on protecting our children.
It’s long past time for House Republicans to hold a vote on gun violence prevention.

@red_jeep75 @yount1130 At least this money was going to be handed out on a per student basis. Which is the way all state school funding should be distributed.
English
@yount1130 Seriously curious. Who do you consider the biggest loser? I think the deal was horrible bc I can not agree to give an additional dime- much less 50 million more to failing schools like MPS. But interested in your take.
English
Toy Evers failed here. He either didn't count votes ahead of time, or more likely, he couldn't convince a single Senate Democrat to follow his lead on the tax deal. But he's not the biggest loser from last night's vote.
