Drunk Van Orden is doing what does best: Humiliate his constituents and all of Wisconsin in the process

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/9/2026

Laura Schulte and Valerie Yurk report:
U.S. Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden sent out a series of posts earlier this week, suggesting he would volunteer to take part in the execution of Nidal Hasan, a former U.S. Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people in Fort Hood, Texas in 2009. 
On Oct. 5, Van Orden posted to X, saying he would free up his schedule. 
"These radial [sic] Islamist need to get the message: You kill Americans, someone else will be raising your children," he said in a 7:49 p.m. post. 
At 10:18 p.m. the same night, he said "vollenteer" in response to a post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, which was "Justice."

Hello Wisconsin voters: Do you want a governor who will take his orders directly from Donald Trump? Then Tom Tiffany is your guy!

 

Bill Christofferson opines at Wisconsin Examiner on the billionaries' preferred candidate:
Yet Tom Tiffany, Trump’s endorsed candidate for governor and a 100% supporter of his policies — which almost all poll even worse than Trump himself — is virtually tied with Dem David Crowley. A good chunk of the electorate has not yet made the Tiffany-Trump connection. That may be the deciding factor over the home stretch. 
Trump’s Iran war and its impact on skyrocketing gasoline and diesel prices are widely unpopular, and Tiffany has repeatedly voted to support the war and to leave Trump unchecked. One new Crowley TV spot takes Tiffany’s voting record head-on, calling Tiffany “loyal to Trump, not Wisconsin.” Trump is toxic. Crowley is not just running against “three billionaires” who have bought Tiffany with over $45 million — the majority of the money raised by the Republican gubernatorial campaign. Diane Hendricks, along with Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein, are Trump’s billionaires.  [emphasis added]

Everything that Trump touches turns to shit: Washington DC tourism edition

Joe Heim reports:
Luria, who has shepherded tens of thousands of clients over the years, was hopeful his business might get a boost in 2026 as Washington celebrated America’s 250th anniversary. Instead, it has mostly been a bust. 
And it isn’t just Luria feeling the pain. Tour guides across the District say their business has cratered this year, in some cases as much as 70 percent as a number of Washington’s iconic sites are closed, under construction or awaiting repairs. Adding to the downturn, guides say, is that many tourists, particularly international visitors, are angered by President Donald Trump’s attacks on longtime allies, the imposition of hard-hitting tariffs, and the administration’s visa and immigration policies.  [emphasis added]
