This week, we are focusing on Congressman Tom Tiffany’s support for President Trump’s plan to deploy federal officials to Wisconsin for the upcoming midterm elections–a clear effort by Trump to interfere in this November’s midterms.

Three amendments to the WI Constitution will be on the November ballot. These amendments are intentionally confusing. These are statewide amendments.

Of course, the most succinct direction we could give paraphrases President Regan:

 "Just VOTE No!"

There may be school referendums on municipal ballots—in general, we support school referendums. This VOTE NO information is only about the WI Constitutional amendments.

This week, our talking points are focused on the record-setting diesel prices this week and how Wisconsin Republicans are to blame for higher prices at the pump. We are also recapping the flashy GOP midterm convention last week, which only further proved how Republicans are in disarray and scrambling to distract voters from their failed economic policies.

The Slate is set! Read about the diversity of the Democratic candidates for state and local offices.

One way to dispel the lies about election integrity is to have people serve as poll observers to witness the election process. The more people who become knowledgeable about the safeguards to ensure election integrity, the more we can combat the lies circulated about election integrity. Being an election observer is EASY! .

Mistruths versus Lies, Common in media and politics: The term mistruths is often used in journalism, academia, and public discourse to point out factual errors without accusing someone of intentional deceit. For example, “This is yet another mistruth” can be used to criticize a false claim without implying malice.

The distinction between lies and mistruths matters:

• Intent vs. fact: The difference hinges on whether the speaker knew the statement was false and meant to mislead. A mistruth may be unintentional, while a lie is intentional.

• Consequences: Lies can lead to serious trust and legal issues; mistruths, especially if not intended to deceive, often have less severe consequences.

• Nuance in communication: Using “mistruth” instead of “lie” can soften criticism or avoid implying guilt, making it useful in contexts where the speaker wants to highlight error without blaming intent.

In short: We call lies “mistruths” when we want to describe a falsehood without necessarily implying that the person meant to deceive — it’s a way to distinguish between intentional deception and accidental or unintentional inaccuracy.

A poem for today written in 1935

Langston Hughes wrote “Let America Be America Again” in 1935 to critique the unfulfilled promises of the American Dream amid racial and economic inequality.  Hughes composed the poem during the Great Depression, a period of widespread unemployment and poverty in the United States. While the nation faced economic collapse Hughes reflected on the disparity between the American Dream and the lived reality of marginalized groups, including African Americans, Native Americans, immigrants, and poor white communities. The poem captures the frustration of those who had been systematically denied freedom, opportunity, and equality, highlighting the gap between national ideals and social realities.

Read it out loud to yourself. So pertinent for today.

Memorial Day, in the United States, holiday (last Monday in May) honoring those who have died while serving in the country’s armed forces. It originated during the American Civil War when citizens placed flowers on the graves of those who had been killed in battle. The first national observance was in 1868. After World War I, the name was changed to Memorial Day, and in 1971 it became a federal holiday. The day is observed by visits to cemeteries, where flags and other items are placed on the graves of veterans.
