Evidence (2023-11-20): After the 2011 redistricting, in which Republicans controlled the Legislature and governor’s office, the Wisconsin Assembly maps became the most skewed toward Republicans in the country over the next five elections, and second most skewed behind Rhode Island, which was skewed toward Democrats, according to research compiled by Chris Warshaw, an associate professor of political science at George Washington University. [...] One way to illustrate what packing and cracking in Wisconsin looks like: In the 10 closest Assembly races that Republicans won this year, the average margin was 7.5 points. In the 10 closest for Democrats it was 15.2 points. Wisconsin Watch didn’t analyze the Senate, where Republicans will control 21 of 33 seats with one vacancy in January, because only half of the seats were up for election this year with the rest up in 2024. [...] Neubauer noted that the GOP-run Legislature heard only 2% of Democrat-authored bills in the past session. "They refuse to act on many policies that have widespread support in Wisconsin," she said, "because they don’t want Gov. Evers to be seen as successful."

Evidence (2023-11-10): Assembly advances elections-related constitutional amendment proposals and bills "There are bills on the calendar today that we’re not going to agree on, but there are just as many that we do," Rep. Scott Krug said ahead of a floor session on Nov. 9, 2023. Photo by Baylor Spears The Wisconsin Assembly advanced a slate of election policy proposals, including two constitutional amendments that will go to voters in 2024 and several bipartisan bills, during a floor session on Thursday. "There are bills on the calendar today that we’re not going to agree on, but there are just as many that we do. I think that’s the exciting part," said Rep. Scott Krug (R-Nekoosa), chair of the Assembly Elections and Campaigns committee, ahead of the session. Krug’s committee has spent much of the year focused on finding bipartisan measures that could improve the state’s elections system.

Evidence (2024-03-19): Some GOP bills never stood a chance [...] Many Democratic bills never made it to the governor because they stood no chance of receiving a vote in the GOP-held Legislature. These included restoring the abortion access once guaranteed under the Roe v. Wade decision, a 12-week paid family leave program, expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act and fully legalizing both medical and recreational marijuana. [...] The typical push-and-pull of divided government doomed many GOP bills, and many Evers initiatives, too. But for the Legislature, there’s another path toward making big changes to public policy, one they took more frequently this session.

Evidence (2024-06-04): MADISON, Wis. (AP) — For the first time in more than a decade, Democrats in key battleground state Wisconsin have a chance at wresting some legislative control from Republicans thanks to Gov. Tony Evers’ new district maps. [...] Republicans took control of the Senate and Assembly in 2011. Democrats used recall elections to win a majority in the Senate for six months in 2012, but otherwise the GOP has run both houses since then. They’ve reshaped Wisconsin’s political profile, neutering public employee unions, legalizing concealed weapons, scaling back diversity initiatives, tightening voting rules and controlling the state budget with an iron fist. [...] Republicans finished the 2023-24 session with a 64-35 advantage in the Assembly. All 99 seats are up this fall. Retirements and Evers’ redistricting changes will leave almost 60 seats open in November. Democrats have more than 120 candidates running, the most since 2011.

Under Republican maps drawn that year, and refined in 2021, the GOP majority in the Wisconsin Assembly has swelled to 64-35, a near-supermajority.

[...] Anthony Chergosky, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, said leaders of the Republican-controlled state Legislature are walking a fine line ahead of the 2022 election as they choose what bills to send to the governor for his signature. "Republicans are threading a needle," Chergosky said. "They don’t want to do too much, because they don’t want to enhance Gov. Tony Evers’ record going into his election campaign."

Evidence (2024-06-20): On June 14, 2024, a Facebook page named America's Last Line Of Defense posted a meme positing the USA Basketball Women's National Team added WNBA rookie phenom and Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark to its roster. According to the post, Clark joined only after the team released Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner for "undisclosed reasons." The meme read, "Team USA: 'Britney Griner is OUT - Caitlin Clark is IN.'" The text caption above the America's Last Line Of Defense Facebook post read, "Team USA had to release Brittney Griner for 'undisclosed reasons,' which some are interpreting as a rule violation related to her testosterone levels. 'We won't have answers before Paris. Caitlin is in.' Sometimes karma just works out." [...] Other similar claims about Clark and Griner originating from different Facebook pages mentioning satire and parody falsely said Griner was disqualified, booted for misconduct or embroiled in a scandal. A different meme published by the main Facebook page for America's Last Line Of Defense also read, "Team USA Loses $60 Million in Endorsements After the Caitlin Clark Snub: 'We Can't Back That Decision.'"

Evidence (2024-06-21): There are hundreds of Americans who have participated in at least one FIBA-sanctioned 3x3 event since the start of 2023, and the vast majority of them are unknown. That group does not include the likes of Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston or Washington Mystics forward Stefanie Dolson (who won a gold medal with Team USA's 3x3 team at the Tokyo Olympics). And despite being two of the biggest rising stars in the WNBA, neither Caitlin Clark nor Angel Reese are eligible as they both have no ranking points. [...] Samuelson made Team USA's 3x3 squad for the Tokyo Olympics but tested positive for COVID-19 shortly before the games and was unable to make the trip. While she didn't make the initial cut this time around, she would be a viable replacement. She also won a gold medal at the AmeriCup in December and said before that event that she feels she has "unfinished business" at the international level. Though she wouldn't offer as much versatility as Hamby, or the defensive acumen of Brink, she would give the team an elite outside shooter, and that's extremely valuable in 3x3 which scores by 1s and 2s instead of 2s and 3s.

They are also playing well on the court, with Clark third in assists with 6.9 and Reese leading the WNBA in rebounds at 11.4. It’s only the eighth time that two rookies have been on the team.
