I like to watch football and drink whiskey. I probably disagree with you politically.

@WillFlandersWI 1. Most of Wisconsin doesn’t get the Netflix games over air. 2. The federal government allows the league to break anti-trust laws because it’s “a national pastime” it’s absolutely their job to ensure the league makes games available to the public.

@TheStaad You described why the red states will disintegrate into oblivion, but didn’t provide reasoning for the blue states.

I believe the United States will ultimately break up into smaller nation-states, and this will be a good thing The red flyover states will return to familial and communal living and traditional values, and the blue states will disintegrate into oblivion

@AndyHermanNFL The irony is that you wanted the Packers to cut McManus before the Draft if they wanted to move on to avoid the $1M Roster bonus, but now that we have the replacement, you want to pay McManus the $100k Workout Bonus to compete...

Unless something happened I’m not sure I understand the idea of releasing McManus. Maybe McManus wanted out? Not sure but I don’t get why you don’t have them compete in camp. What if Smack goes full Brett Conway? Either way, for better or worse, full steam ahead with Trey Smack!

@EricJBott I’d gladly pay more in income taxes if it meant we could ditch property taxes altogether. But that doesn’t win elections at the state level.

Wisconsin created America’s first income tax in 1911 on the argument that we needed to protect farmers by eliminating the property tax and sticking it to railroad and timber barons. Sound familiar? We ended up with high property taxes AND and an income tax. In 1961 Wisconsin created a 3% sales tax to…you guessed it…eliminate the property tax. We ended up with high income taxes, high property taxes and a new sales tax. Wisconsin raised the sales tax in 1969 to…lower property taxes. Guess what? It didn’t work. Wisconsin raised it again in 1982 to…you get the point… It’s a con. @FrancescaHongWI’s tax plan for a 17.7% income tax is no different.
Eric Bott@EricJBott

So, I went and read this bill Juliana keeps talking about. It’s AB 1209. It’s authored by gubernatorial candidate @FrancescaHongWI and it’s absolutely bonkers. Please get comfortable and stick around because there is a whole lot of craziness to unpack. First, the bill raises taxes on filers in Wisconsin’s top income tax bracket by 15.69% these are people making over $323K. So now we know how they’re defining “super rich” and “billionaire.” It’s people making $323K. This alone would make WI the 9th highest income tax state but the bill doesn’t stop there. AB 1209 creates a new bracket starting at $750K and sets the tax rate at 17.70%. 17.70! Under Hong’s plan, WI will be #1 in America for income taxes. So who will be paying this tax? Billionaires? Not really. Wisconsin hardly has any. The majority of payers will be mom and pop small businesses. This is because the overwhelming majority of small businesses file not as corporations but as individuals, pass-throughs, S-corps, etc… and pay the individual tax rate. Close to 80% of small businesses file this way and a substantial majority of people who will be hit by this 17.7% tax will be small businesses. So this isn’t a “billionaires” tax at all. This is a successful small business tax. And this is all before we get into the strange way the bill plans to increase state school aids. Under the bill, for purposes of calculating equalization aids and revenue limits, a middle class English speaking child will only count as 71% of a child as compared to a limited-English, low income pupil. I thought all children were equal but I guess under Hong’s bill some are more equal than others. I’d love to see the Legislative Fiscal Bureau run this district by district so we can see who wins and who loses under Hong’s weird plan of counting some children as lesser than other children. Finally, I don’t see anything in the bill limiting property taxes. Presumably they would just keep going up despite increased state aids. So, how would this net out? If this bill passed, we could immediately expect: - Most of WI’s wealthiest would leave. - Thousands of small businesses would close their doors. - Large corporations will transfer their executives elsewhere and some will abandon Wi. It will no longer be possible to recruit talent to WI. (This is happening with Starbucks and Amazon right now in Washington over a 9.9% tax. Guess what a 17.7% tax will do.) - The Packers and Brewers will not be able to recruit talent. (I spent last week with some NFL players and they assured me that this is a big deal). - Tax revenues will plummet. WI will face a budget deficit and effectively go into recession. - Despite the new state aid increases, local governments appear to be able to raise property taxes more (and they’ll need to after commercial values plummet due to all the office buildings being abandoned). If this isn’t bad enough, the Hongs and Julianas of Wisconsin have other bills including a local option super tax, which is a great way to chase entrepreneurs out of your city. But the point is that this is unserious policy. To call it sophomoric is an insult to sophomores. This is economic suicide that can only come from the fever dreams of fervent communists. After reading it, I’m more motivated than ever to elect @TomTiffanyWI. @HeartlandPostWI @DanLennington @DanODonnellShow @VickiMcKenna @maciverwisc @AFPWI @WILawLiberty @meganjnovak @yount1130 @WisGOP @alexbruesewitz

@wiscofirst I thought Minnesota was the swing state. 😅 ceding that one entirely, are we? Also, when you factor in property taxes I get taxed quite a bit more living in WI than I did MN.

📣 MINNESOTA AND ILLINOIS CONSERVATIVES: Are you tired of high taxes, rising crime, woke schools, and radical left-wing violence? Consider moving to Wisconsin! We’ve seen it happen in Florida—conservatives voted with their feet, brought their values, and turned a swing state solidly red. We can do the same thing in the north. Why Wisconsin? ✅ More reasonable taxes and cost of living ✅ Strong support for farming and manufacturing ✅ Pro-2A laws ✅ Communities rooted in faith and traditional family values Wisconsin flipped for Trump in 2024 and is trending right. But Democrats are fighting hard to take the legislature in 2026. Every conservative who moves here and votes helps lock the state red for the long term. Don’t just watch your current state decline. Bring your principles and your vote to help build a better Wisconsin! If you’re thinking about moving from your state, share why below. Tag your friends in MN/IL who need to see this. 👇🏻 #VoteRed #Wisconsin #TomTiffany #RedWave #Midterms #MAGA

@Cantb3Human This is from a month ago what. So if their address isn't real it's a valid vote? What about WI votes where the person doesn't sign on entry to vote. Genuinely what requirements do you accept if state law can just be discarded.

Can I say how stupid this is? Dane county WI Democrats are trying to act like they care for all votes, and they do this by using taxpayer money to fight to count 23 votes that determine nothing. So Dane is spending our cash for a pointless lawsuit instead of fixing roads...
Alexander Shur@AlexanderShur

NEW: Dane County is going to court over the Wisconsin Elections Commission order for the county not to count 23 late-arriving ballots. The county voted 2-1 today to appeal the WEC decision. LINK:

@realadjo @EricJBott @FrancescaHongWI Happy to call your bluff on that one. If you’re making $750K you’ve already chosen to live where you live. Chances are those reasons haven’t changed.

@WIguyinMN @EricJBott @FrancescaHongWI Or leave. If I’m making $750k under the Hong plan, I’m leaving for low-tax FL or TN. Good luck paying for 400 years of Evers tax increases then.

@WIguyinMN @SteveAustinWI @ScottWalker Perhaps an English sentence construction class would better suit your time. … Way too many of us need to spat a convenient label-to-dismiss on another. Why? To avoid having to grapple with determining the likely objective truth of the matter.

Seeing much revisionist history on X about @ScottWalker. What the guy did in winning/reforming county government in Milwaukee from 2002-2010. Stunning. And the courage and leadership he had during ACT 10? Amazing. He moved the needle right in WI more than anyone in our history
