Car Maker Invests Big & Snow White Bombs | 3.25.25

It's possible. China and Europe are still rolling out. But the early projections right now suggest that Snow White is not even going to break even. Disney Plus could be a lifeline. But streaming success isn't going to erase the narrative of a theatrical failure. And that's the biggest concern, brand damage.

If audiences start doubting Disney's magic touch, I think future projects like the upcoming Lilo and Stitch are going to become a tougher sell.

Democratic Infighting Grows & Wisconsin’s Judicial Showdown | 3.24.25

Well, it's because this is a rare chance to flip the ideological balance of the highest court in a key swing state. So depending on how things play out on April 1st, Wisconsin Supreme Court could go from a 4-3 liberal majority to a 4-3 conservative one. And that will, of course, have a lot of ramifications on national policy. Arguably, the biggest factor here is congressional redistricting.

Democratic Infighting Grows & Wisconsin’s Judicial Showdown | 3.24.25

So after the 2020 census, Republicans who controlled the legislature drew Wisconsin's congressional maps. Democrats cried gerrymandering and they sued. And then in 2022, the liberal court threw out the GOP's maps and adopted new ones that had been drawn by Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat. And that new map helped Democrats flip one congressional seat in 2024.

So if conservative candidate Brad Schimel wins, he will likely uphold those GOP-drawn maps that help cement the very slim margin that Republicans have in the House right now. On the other hand, if liberal Susan Crawford wins, the court is likely to strike down those Republican maps again, meaning Democrats will have a greater likelihood of winning more seats in the state.

Yeah, absolutely. And election integrity legislation like voter ID has also been a very big focus here. We have to remember that Trump won Wisconsin in 2024 by less than a percentage point. So these were the issues that Elon Musk stressed during an X space late Saturday night.

Republicans also see a conservative court in Wisconsin as a potential firewall that could shield Trump's policies from state-level challenges. Think things like lawsuits over federal overreach or immigration crackdowns.

So on Truth Social yesterday, Trump called Crawford a radical left Democrat, and he said she's insistent on bringing hardened criminals that we remove to faraway places back into our country and allowing men into women's sports and open borders. Quoting there, of course.

And then pro-lifers are closely watching this race as well, as Crawford has made protecting access to abortion a major part of her pitch to voters.

Education Department Dismantled & Tesla Terrorism Continues | 3.21.25

Yeah, so we don't have the names of the suspects yet, but we do know that these charges center on attacks on Tesla dealerships and charging stations. One suspect allegedly lobbed eight Molotov cocktails at a retailer in Oregon. And then another in Colorado is charged with attempting to light Teslas on fire, again with Molotov cocktails.
