Who do we believe, an epidemiologist with more than 40 years of experience trying to keep people safe from infectious diseases, or the football player?
The recent Virginia elections suggest Democrats still struggle mightily in rural America.
Huge increase in Republican turnout. Perhaps ‘critical race theory’ was a factor.

The commission’s final product would convert the long-time Republican district — a district that has not elected a Democrat to the House since 1993 — Into one much more advantageous for Democrats.
The process and results of the PMC maps leave a lot to be desired. Absent within the process was a clear understanding of what was needed for majority minority districts—most of which are situated in the city of Milwaukee (due to population and hyper-segregation)—to remain viable.
Paul Soglin has had a profound influence on the city he adopted when he came to Madison to attend the University of Wisconsin in the ’60s.

At the Urban Spaceship Conference at Nō Studios in Milwaukee, The Recombobulation Area’s Dan Shafer moderated a panel discussion on this big topic.
Businesses using UAS are well-advised to become acquainted with and stay on top of the very fluid and developing area of drone law.
