Video: “Walker’s critics celebrate, supporters reminisce …”
Despite having no more than a few hours notice of the 5PM press conference announcing Walker’s drop out from the presidential campaign, protesting Wisconsinites were ready, able, and willing to serenade Wisconsin’s delusional governor. This TMJ4 footage includes just a SNIPPET of protest singing. This brief broadcast also includes snippets from Wisconsinites who do not more »

Gawker seeks details on “a very bad story” connected with Scott Walker
It seems that both Republican communications operative Liz Mair and a writer with Buzzfeed are hinting about either the same scandalous story or differing stories that is/are related to Scott Walker – but neither is releasing the details to the public. Frustrating. Gawker is asking readers to help spill the beans completely. Gawker is providing more »

Wisconsin State Journal only employs white people
I’m embarrassed that I’m so late to the party on this issue. I learned this yesterday and promptly felt like puking: “..the Wisconsin State Journal, the newspaper that proudly proclaims itself “Madison’s largest reporting team,” the second-largest newspaper in the state and the newspaper of record for our entire region, is an all-white newspaper.” SOURCE: more »

The backlash on Bernie Sanders begins!
Despite the fact that this [barely functioning] blog has tried to be Wisconsin-centric, I’m going to try to do some more posts to help people keep up on Bernie Sanders news. —————————————————- It appears that the establishment and its candidates have decided to quit dismissing Bernie Sanders and start attacking Bernie Sanders.

If Walker could see past his enormous ego, he’d realize he’s in 7th place and has no chance
Scott Walker only has 2% in the latest national ABC poll. The average of Scott Walker’s national polls put him in 7th place according to Real Clear Politics. The Republican Party only needs 1 nominee to run for president. I suppose it’s very difficult for a megalomaniac to quit looking in the mirror long enough more »

Chasing El Chapo
Borderland Beat Posted by DD, republished from Fusion
It seems that since Chapos escape from prison last month every investigative journalist that covers the Mexico beat has made a trip to Sinaloa to get "first hand" news. This reporter from Fusion, , took a little different approach. She went into Chapo's home turf to find out what the authorities were doing in their search for Chapo. And she found a military presence (sort of) near Chapo's home town of Tuna. Mostly what she found first hand was a lot of beautiful scenery of the Sierra Madres and an invitation (not from the military) to leave town within the next 30 minutes..
We went to Mexico for a firsthand look at the hunt for El Chapo
Mexico’s notorious drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, is still on the run after escaping prison earlier this year. El Chapo made his second escape from a maximum security prison in Central Mexico through a secret shower hatch and a 1-mile tunnel.
Days after his shocking disappearance, Fusion’s Mariana van Zeller arrived in Mexico to get a first hand look at the hunt for the world’s most wanted man. What she witnessed was beyond anything expected, and her mission then took an unexpected turn.
In this Fusion original special, Narcos, Guns & Money: Chasing El Chapo, van Zeller also travels to El Chapo’s hometown in Culiacán, Sinaloa—one of Mexico’s most dangerous places—to understand why a community continues to revere a drug kingpin that has brought so
much violence and death to his country and abroad.
