2. BECAUSE YOU NEED YOUR MORNING COFFEE FIX
"If you’re one of those people who need a coffee hit to get going, mornings may become grim.

Even if you’re caffeine-free you’re not in the clear – wine production may also be hit."

"The races comes at a time when the Senate GOP caucus is seeking to hold onto a supermajority, which gives Senate Republicans the power to remove impeached state officers — including the governor, attorney general, and other officials. At the same time, Democrats are making more headway in the traditionally conservative suburbs surrounding Milwaukee."
