Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Town hall addresses Milwaukee County Jail concerns, audit MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – With concerns for months about inmate conditions at the Milwaukee County Jail, a community town hall was held at the Turner Hall Ballroom to discuss the jail’s recent audit

Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the 2026 and 2028 elections.

That’s why Elon Musk is spending millions on this race.

If you only have the capacity to read a couple of updates, I suggest this as one of them. I had never heard of Burlingame, and I'm grateful to know this piece of history and how it relates to what's going on today.

Dress for windy & chilly weather, and if you'll have a car, give yourself extra time to find parking since their office is downtown. There's a good coffee shop nearby on 5th & St Paul called Stone Creek, and there are usually parking spots open on 5th Street.

Dems as a whole are demonstrably too comfortable maintaining the status quo to actually fight for us, but it's the system we have. Contact them anyway. And yes, GOP have their own form and should be contacted, too.

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

Whatever lies are told tonight, here's the truth we need to focus on: Republicans have a very REAL plan to cut the social safety net.
 
I refuse to go quietly and let them make these cuts on the backs of veterans, seniors, children and struggling families.

Bill requiring sheriffs to cooperate with ICE gets public hearing Republican supporters of the bill say it would make Wisconsin safer, while opponents say it raises civil rights concerns and would erode trust in law enforcement among members of migrant communities.

“Everyone’s safety, including citizens, is put in jeopardy when victims and witnesses don’t feel safe coming forward with critical information about crimes committed against them.” – @acluofwi.bsky.social Advocacy Director Amanda Merkwae

And we need to keep demanding that when they do have public town halls, that at least some of them occur in the evenings when more working people can attend and participate. They keep these opportunities under-communicated and inconvenient by design.
