Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
However, due in part to what experts have called one of the nation’s most extreme partisan gerrymanders, Republicans have maintained a foothold in the state legislature, with massive Senate and Assembly majorities.
Wisconsin state Sen. Dan Knodl, whose April special election victory gave Republicans their Senate supermajority, told Milwaukee’s CBS 58 he would support impeaching Protasiewicz if she does not recuse herself on redistricting cases.
Besides reducing the chief justice’s powers, the liberal majority voted to open administrative meetings to the public and fired a conservative former judge who had overseen the state’s court system for six years.
Michael Gableman, the former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who was hired by Vos to review the state’s 2020 election, has frequently targeted Wolfe, including mocking the way she dressed.
By doing nothing, under the state high court’s previous ruling, the Wisconsin Election Commission believed it could keep Wolfe on in her current role without requiring Senate confirmation.
Still, the state Senate’s elections committee, chaired by Knodl, moved forward with a hearing Tuesday, beginning the process of considering Wolfe’s confirmation and potentially triggering a court fight.
