“The relentless chaos of the past few months shows that nobody cares about “progressive” issues, like bike lanes or a higher minimum wage, when crime is rising — all they care about is order. Multiple polls show: Voters’ main issue in this race is public safety.”
The (hard left) Nation: “NYC Progressives should fear an Eric Adams mayoralty.” Then again, Progressives made it possible. Chickens, welcome home to your roosts!
Reduce state aid for cop defunders?
As reported by WisPolitics.com, the Wisconsin State Senate voted on a bill that would reduce shared revenue for communities that reduce their spending on law enforcement while also backing measures that restrict the use of chokeholds by police officers and require officers to report colleagues who use excessive force.
Senate Bill 119 would reduce shared revenue for communities that reduce spending on the hiring, training and retention of law enforcement, fire departments or emergency medical responders.
Senate Minority Leader Janet Bewley (D-Mason) and bill co-sponsor Sen. Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) debate the issue.

“If Johnson opts to break his term-limit pledge, it takes a seat that would otherwise be a toss-up or even a slight GOP lean and turn it into ripe pickings for Democrats.”
