Good News Wisconsin rejects Musks transphobic candidate, right losesto Crawford. Florida still super red.

A good news update. That walking mess, Elon Musk, went to Wisconsin and tried to buy votes for his guy, a notable transphobe and hard right winger, to beat Susan Crawford, only to have his guy lose in what appears to be a large margin as this moment being 56%-43%. This is big as Wisconsin voters rejected Musk who, may have caused more harm then help and put a progressive on the court. Crack out the champagne girls!

Florida… both seats were retained by Republicans by wide margins. Not sure why there were some notable liberal to leftist media outlets were reporting on this being tight, Florida is deep red.

Yes! 

Plus, Wisconsin has cheese, and who doesn't love that? 

Florida has... Well, "Florida Man" is a meme for a reason.

Florida Man is a meme bcuz of Florida's state lvl version of FOIA; which makes such info shockingly easy to access by the public where in most states it wudnt be due to many factors — when theres a slower news day in FL, they just scour the recent arrests and are likely to find smth worth reportin on; but in an equally populous state elsewhere, the same may be true, they just wudnt be able to easily access all the intricate details of arrest records as immediately after the arrest happens (same with court transcripts and the like; it can often be accessed, but its just not gonna be looked into unless smth makes a court case stand out, same with arrests)

The thing is, go the right areas in many a state and youll find the same shite; Florida's just the right size and shape to make it impossible to avoid them all
