REMEMBER, IT’S IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE RESPECT FOR THE JUDICIARY:
RIGHT NOW: Wisconsin Attorney General is suing to stop Elon Musk from giving away $2 million during the Supreme Court race between conservative Brad Schimel and liberal Susan Crawford. The judge assigned to the case? No joke: Susan Crawford. https://t.co/OZnI2AFT9x

Apparently, she’s recusing herself but that she’d even be assigned is crazy.

KAROL MARKOWICZ: Don’t let the leftists memory-hole their madness.
Did the last five years, call it “the age of woke,” really happen — or were they just a fever dream?
Apparently we all imagined a time where COVID and cancel culture collided to oppress us.
No one was shunned for saying really obvious and true things, schools weren’t closed indefinitely under pressure from teachers’ unions, and race conflict wasn’t pushed on Americans from every direction.
At least that’s what the left would have us believe.
On Wednesday when National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher testified in a congressional hearing, she stumbled on some basic questions . . . involving her own opinions.
“Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?” Rep. Brandon Gill asked her.
* * * * * * * *
The last five years happened, much as the left may want to wipe the slate clean.
There’s an impulse to simply move on, without any accountability or apology for their lunacy. As a famous woman once said: What difference, at this point, does it make?
But it matters very much. We’re still living in the thick of so many of the left’s bad ideas and policies.
Biological boys are still playing in girls’ sports — and every single Senate Democrat this month voted against a law to stop it.
They’re waving away some of their madness, but certainly not all.
We can’t let the left simply pretend the last five difficult years didn’t happen. It’s time to challenge outright the lies, the rewrites, the scoffing at ideas they once considered mandatory.
Those who pushed the very worst policies, and forced them on the rest of us, can’t now get to claim otherwise.
Read the whole thing.

HAROLD STASSEN SMILES: The Hillary Clinton Political Comeback Begins Today!
Don’t worry, Democrats! Hillary Clinton is here to save the day!
In a blistering op-ed in today’s New York Times, Hillary Clinton officially launched her political comeback. The Clinton Express is back for one final mission.
And don’t be naïve. She’s eyeing the 2028 Democratic Party nomination.
It’s a comeback nearly a decade in the making. Ever since losing the 2016 election, the Clintons have been exiled to the political wilderness — just another relic from a long-forgotten era. Indeed, in an age of #MeToo and ideological purity, the Clintons were always a bad fit.
They were like the creepy old guy in the nightclub. Everyone else is 30 years younger, whereas the Clintons were still rocking bellbottom jeans and sideburns:
BILL: Hey, baby! Wanna see the back of my VW van?
GIRL: Eww, no thank you. I don’t have daddy issues.
But the #MeToo movement is now over. And you can’t truly understand the Democratic Party’s current mindset without appreciating how utterly and thoroughly traumatizing MAGA’s 2024 victory was to their psyche.
They warned us he was Hitler. They told us democracy was on the line. They even convicted him of dozens of felonies! And Trump STILL won the popular vote!
So now, the Democrats are working through the five stages of grief.
The Party of Youth™ has found their candidate!

Flashback: “A few decades ago, Washington was a sleepy town, famously mocked by JFK for being a combination of “northern charm and southern efficiency.” You could dine at the fanciest restaurants on a senior civil servant’s salary, real estate prices were reasonable, and the cultural life was, well, pretty lifeless. This is what we should aspire to for D.C.’s future. . . . The nation’s capital shouldn’t be a place of extravagance and vibrancy, because those are basically byproducts of graft. It should be boring.”

To be fair, this might a bit too far for Krugman. Embracing the libertarian-themed philosophy of Thomas Sowell would require him to jettison the more collectivist economic ideas of his earlier crush on the right, Richard Nixon.

SUSTAINABILITY: CA lost 173K private jobs, added 181K government, largely part-time jobs.
California has lost 173,000 fully private sector jobs since January 2023, offset by a gain of 181,100 largely part-time government and government-supported jobs.
Thirty-eight percent of these new government and government-supported jobs are from elderly or disabled individuals using state funds to pay household members and others minimum wage for part-time care and assistance.
The report also found that while hourly wages are up, average hours worked are down, suggesting employers are cutting hours to reduce labor costs, such as those imposed by the state’s sector-based minimum wages.
According to the new report from the California Center for Jobs and the Economy, a project of the California Business Roundtable pro-business association, “California’s job growth has been dominated by government and government dependent jobs in Healthcare & Social Assistance.”
Fewer taxpayers and more taxpayer-supported jobs aren’t a winning formula. At the very least, they indicate California’s economy isn’t the dynamic tech paradise Newsom likes to claim.
