Josh Kaul, Wisconsin’s far-left attorney general, sent an email to his Department of Justice employees Friday to remind them that the election of Donald Trump “does not change our mission, our vision, or our values.” 

Kaul’s “values” in nearly six years as the Badger’s state’s top prosecutor seem to be playing politics with prosecutions, much like his allies in the Biden-Harris administration’s weaponized U.S. Department of Justice. And he apparently wants his team to know that he intends to pull the leftist “resistance” card when it comes to Trump’s plans to clean up dirty, politically driven witch hunts.

“As you’re aware, the presidential election was held on Tuesday, and the outcome of that election will result in substantial changes to many federal policies,” Kaul wrote in the email obtained by The Federalist. 

“At DOJ, our mission is to protect the public and ensure that justice is done,” the email continues. “In times of change, I think it’s good to remind ourselves of who we are as an agency and what role we serve for the people of our state. We are leaders in protecting the safety, well-being, and rights of Wisconsinites.” 

It’s a nuanced parsing of words for the highly partisan AG. As a veteran employee of the state DOJ put it, Kaul “seems to be subtly implying that the Trump administration[‘s] priorities are in conflict with those of Wisconsin.”   

The source, who asked not to be identified, said he doesn’t recall a similar email from Kaul in 2020

More internal government communications will soon be revealed in a high-profile censorship case that already hit the U.S. Supreme Court, thanks to a Friday court ruling in Missouri v. Biden. The historic free speech case uncovered that federal officials, all the way up to President Joe Biden, pressured social media companies to remove specific posts and discussion terms, systemically slanting society in favor of Democrats by controlling public discussions.

After the Supreme Court ruled in June that the plaintiffs didn’t meet the higher legal standard for a preliminary injunction against government officials, as the case moved forward, the case went back to a Louisiana district court, where it originated. The judge in that case, Terry Doughty, on Friday allowed the plaintiffs to obtain more public records, which they say will help establish that federal officials specifically targeted their speech on social media monopolies such as Facebook, Google, and X.

“Because we find that Plaintiffs have demonstrated the necessity of jurisdictional discovery, and because their proposed discovery does not appear to be a jurisdictional fishing expedition—Plaintiffs shall have the opportunity to conduct such discovery,” Doughty wrote in his Nov. 8 ruling.

The plaintiffs include the states of Missouri and Louisiana; prominent doctors Jayanta Bhattacharya, Aaron Kheriaty, and Martin Kulldorff; and citizens Jill Hines and Jim Hoft. They are suing numerous federal agencies and officials, including Biden, national security bureaucracies such as the Department of Homeland Security and FBI, and health bureaucracies such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

The case

Former President Donald Trump is projected to win Arizona’s 11 electoral votes, flipping a state President Joe Biden won during the 2020 contest. The call was made Saturday night by the Associated Press and other legacy media outlets.

With 87 percent of votes tabulated, preliminary results show Trump with 52.6 percent of the vote, compared to Kamala Harris’ 46.4 percent. According to The New York Times, Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver and Green Party candidate Jill Stein each garnered 0.5 percent of the vote, respectively.

Trump’s victory in the Grand Canyon State means the president-elect officially swept every single battleground state during the 2024 presidential contest.

“GREAT WORK ARIZONA! VICTORY has been SECURED,” the Republican Party of Arizona wrote on X. “Congratulations to our 45th and 47th President of the United States, @realDonaldTrump! TIME TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump’s electoral prospects in the Grand Canyon State were high heading into Election Day. For example, Republicans dramatically expanded their voter registration advantage over Democrats.

According to local media, “registration statistics released [last month] by the Arizona Secretary of State show 1,562,091 registered Republicans and 1,266,536 registered Democrats, nearly a six-point difference between the two parties.” That’s roughly 3 points more than the advantage the GOP enjoyed ahead of the 2020 election when Biden won the state by roughly 11,000 votes.

The winner of the state’s highly contested Senate race between Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Kari Lake is still too close to call. According to preliminary results, Gallego leads
