Or you can hike the IAT. Honest, it’s great! But, you know, lions…

As with Susan Crawford's win last year, tonight's SCOWIS result won't get an iota of the What Mamdani Means For 🇺🇸 Politics coverage from coastal elites. But it's likely a far better bellwether of how things are shifting in 2026. This is a landslide by WI standards.

With their huge TV revenue, UW athletics is not an acceptable use of GPR.

I am a Badger fan but $14 million in GPR to the UW athletic department is absolutely repulsive.
