On this day in 1774, Wisconsin Becomes Part of… Quebec:
On this date Britain passed the Quebec Act, making Wisconsin part of the province of Quebec. Enacted by George III, the act restored the French form of civil law to the region. The Thirteen Colonies considered the Quebec Act as one of the “Intolerable Acts,” as it nullified Western claims of the coast colonies by extending the boundaries of the province of Quebec to the Ohio River on the south and to the Mississippi River on the west.

Dan Bice of the Journal Sentinel writes of Eric Hovde’s attack ad against Tammy Baldwin:
For the past month, Republican candidate Eric Hovde and his GOP allies have been pounding on Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin over her relationship with a New York money manager, Maria Brisbane.
Hovde’s ads suggest there is a likely conflict of interest between the two because of Baldwin’s work in the Senate and Brisbane’s job advising ultra-wealthy clients on their finances. Baldwin and Brisbane have been dating since 2018.
“Tammy Baldwin: in bed with Wall Street,” concludes one of Hovde’s TV spots, which features pictures of the pair.
Yeah, not terribly subtle.
Yeah, not terribly subtle. But, then, these aren’t subtle men. Attacks like this, however, won’t change the race’s outcome. If Hovde had more and better to offer Wisconsin, he’d already be using that more and better.
