Dems notch big win on Special Election night

Voters in Florida and Wisconsin delivered a mixed bag Tuesday night, handing Republicans two congressional victories while flipping the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat to the left — a race with major national implications.

✅ Florida’s 6th District: Republican state Senator Randy Fine secured victory over Democrat Josh Weil, maintaining GOP control of the seat vacated by Mike Waltz, who left to serve in the Trump administration.

✅ Florida’s 1st District: State CFO Jimmy Patronis defeated Democrat Gay Valimont, holding the seat for Republicans despite big spending from Democrats trying to flip the seat.

✅ Wisconsin Voter ID Amendment: Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment enshrining the state's photo ID requirement for voting, with approximately 60.3% support.

❌ Wisconsin Supreme Court: Liberal Judge Susan Crawford defeated conservative Brad Schimel, preserving the court's 4-3 liberal majority.

• With over $100 million spent on this race, it was the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. That’s thanks to Elon Musk on the right and Democrats like George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and JD Pritzker on the left.

• This one hurts. The liberal-leaning state Supreme Court makes it very likely that the Democrat governor can redraw congressional districts in a way that will flip two seats from red to blue in the 2026 midterm elections.

Big picture: I’m going to hand the mic to TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, who said it perfectly last night on X. It’s long but worth reading:

• “We did a lot in Wisconsin, but we fell short. We must realize and appreciate that we are the LOW PROP [low turnout] party now. The party has been remade. Special elections and off-cycle elections will continue to be a problem without a change of strategy. We are the party of welders, waiters, and plumbers. We are the party of people who work with their hands, who shower before and after work. Politics is an afterthought for many of our supporters. They have common sense and American values, but they are voters who must be CHASED. Democrats have become the college indoctrinated, institutionalized, and government dependent HIGH PROP party. They live for politics. It is their religion. You may hate Donald Trump, but he resurrected a dead GOP back to life. Voters who weren't on anyone's data rolls came out of the woodwork to vote for Donald Trump. Our movement must begin to fully fund the infrastructure to match the Democrat machine. Our ideas are better. They're actually popular. But we need to match like for like. We need to out organize Democrats. We need to match their fundraising advantage. Let Wisconsin be a wakeup call. Let it be a call to return to the frontlines. We won in November, but to save the Republican we must string together multiple victories and that starts in 2026.”

About a month ago, I was at a butcher in my neighborhood and saw a diagram of a cow, with all the cuts of meat labeled. And that gave me an idea for a t-shirt:

DOGE Butcher Shop — but instead of the cow, we use a pig. And the cuts of meat in the diagram represent all the waste, fraud, and abuse being butchered by the Trump admin.

Over the last few weeks, I worked with a really talented graphic designer who brought it to life. And on Friday I got a sample in the mail and I’m happy to say, it came out better than I’d hoped.

Also, my wife told me I had to mention that the t-shirt it’s printed on is Custom Colors. Apparently, they’re well-known for high-quality materials. I just chose them because they are printed in the U.S. and made with 100 U.S. cotton.
