Wisconsin Gerrymandering Race That Could Upend The U.S. Congress-The CDC Director Nominee From Hell

Wisconsin Gerrymandering RaceIn Wisconsin, billionaires George Soros and Elon Musk pouring millions into a race that could reshape the U.S. Congress through gerrymandering. The April 1, 2025, election pits liberal judge Susan Crawford, backed by Soros and other Democratic megadonors, against conservative judge Brad Schimel, supported by Musk and Republican-aligned groups. The court’s ideological balance, currently a 4-3 liberal majority, hangs in the balance, and with it, the power to influence congressional redistricting. Wisconsin’s congressional maps, which currently favor Republicans with six of eight districts, could be redrawn to create more competitive seats, potentially flipping the U.S. House majority in 2026, where Republicans hold a razor-thin 217-215 edge.Soros, has funneled $1 million to the Wisconsin Democratic Party to support Crawford, while Musk, now a key Trump adviser, has invested over $13 million through his America PAC and Building America’s Future to back Schimel. The race, already the most expensive state Supreme Court contest in U.S. history, has seen Musk’s groups offer $100 to Wisconsin voters to sign anti-“activist judge” petitions, a tactic critics like Crawford’s campaign call vote-buying. Meanwhile, as expected, Democrats have launched a “People v. Elon Musk” initiative, framing Musk’s involvement as an attempt to “buy” the court, especially since Tesla has a pending lawsuit in Wisconsin that could reach the Supreme Court. Schimel, for his part, has called Soros’s influence “dangerous,” accusing Crawford of promising donors she’ll help flip congressional seats, a claim she currently denies.This election is a proxy war for national power. A conservative court could cement Republican-friendly maps, protecting their congressional majority, while a liberal majority might redraw districts to reflect Wisconsin’s purple electorate, potentially handing Democrats two more House seats. The involvement of Soros and Musk underscores the growing trend of billionaires shaping local races with national implications, raising questions about the integrity of “nonpartisan” elections. With early voting already underway as of March 18, and the race drawing national attention, the outcome will test whether moneyed interests can dictate the future of American democracy, or if voters can still steer the ship.The CDC Director Nominee From HellFirst a disclaimer: I whole heartedly support President Trump for the majority of bold initiatives he has already set forward in just 65 days into his second term. And it pains me to have to call the Administration out on something that is not sitting well with his supporters.But President Donald Trump’s nomination of Susan Monarez as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ignited a firestorm of controversy, particularly among those who expected a radical shift away from the establishment health policies of the past due to the overwhelming evidence of the damage already waged by the mRNA vaccines. Monarez, a career bureaucrat with a history of promoting mRNA vaccines and AI-driven health technologies, is a puzzling choice for a president who campaigned on returning American healthcare back to the people from the clutches of globalist eugenicists. Her nomination, announced on March 24, 2025, comes at a time when the CDC is grappling with a measles outbreak in Texas, growing vaccine hesitancy, and a public that’s increasingly skeptical of federal health mandates. As acting director since January 2025, Monarez has already shown her colors, and they’re not the ones many Trump supporters were hoping for. Monarez’s track record is a red flag for anyone paying attention. While at the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), she spearheaded the $204 million APECx program in 2024, which uses AI to design antigens for entire viral families like Zika, herpesviruses, and beyond. But this isn’t just about preparedness, it’s about pushing mRNA vaccine technology, the same tech behind the Covid shots that have been linked to serious side effects like myocarditis, neurological issues and oh yeah death. Monarez has already endorsed updated Covid vaccines for kids as young as six months, a move that flies in the face of the health freedom ethos Trump has championed. Her actions suggest a CDC that will double down on experimental shots, prioritizing pharmaceutical interests over the natural immunity many Americans now value. With her confirmation likely just weeks away, the window to challenge this direction is closing fast.The AI component of Monarez’s vision is equally troubling. Her time at ARPA-H saw her champion AI-driven health initiatives, from predictive analytics to real-time data systems, which sound innovative but carry a darker undertone. With past roles at the Department of Homeland Security and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Monarez has been deeply involved in biosecurity and public health data systems. Fields that often intersect with mass surveillance and digital control. Imagine a CDC where AI decides who needs a shot, tracks your compliance, and ties it to a digital health passport. This isn’t science fiction, it’s the logical endpoint of her policies. As her confirmation approaches, expected by mid to late May, the Senate needs to grill her on how she’ll balance this tech with personal freedom, but given the Senate’s track record, don’t hold your breath for tough questions or even comprehension of the issue.This nomination feels like a bait-and-switch. Trump’s first pick, Dr. Dave Weldon, was a vaccine skeptic who aligned with the health freedom movement and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s push to reform the CDC. Weldon’s nomination was yanked on March 13, 2025, hours before his Senate hearing, reportedly due to a lack of votes but more likely due to Big Pharma’s influence. Monarez, by contrast, is the establishment’s dream, a technocrat who’ll keep the vaccine machine humming and the AI systems buzzing. Health freedom groups like Health Freedom Louisiana are already sounding the alarm, calling this a betrayal of the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) promise. Monarez will face a Senate that’s largely in Big Pharma’s pocket, making her approval almost a foregone conclusion unless public pressure mounts.If Monarez is confirmed by mid to late May, as expected, she’ll report to Kennedy, a known critic of the CDC’s vaccine agenda, which could create tension, or a convenient scapegoat for the administration. Her pro-mRNA, pro-AI stance is a direct threat to the health freedom movement, setting the stage for a CDC that doubles down on the policies that fueled public distrust during Covid-19, aggressive vaccine schedules, experimental tech, and surveillance under the guise of public health. The measles outbreak in Texas, with one death in Texas and one in New Mexico and now 378 cases over 18 states as of March 21, 2025, will likely be her first test, and all signs point to more mandates, not fewer. Americans need to wake up to what’s coming—a biosecurity state where your health choices are dictated by algorithms and pharmaceutical profits. Monarez’s confirmation isn’t just a formality; it’s a turning point. We’ve got until May to make our voices heard, or the CDC’s next chapter will look a lot like the dystopian one we’ve been fighting against since the Covid epidemic changed the course of the Republic.Please subscribe to the Bowne Report on substack and/or engage with me on X @NewsBowne.
