clearly, some men are just too emotional for high leadership positions.

Musk and Trump are a great example of why men are too emotional to lead.

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year.

Republicans’ bill will kick millions of Americans off Medicaid.

Republicans’ bill will jack up costs on groceries for Americans.

Republicans’ bill will give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in America.

This is not what Wisconsinites want.

Press Release: NEW: Republican Lawmakers Poised to Gut Most Pro-Kid Budget in State History During 2025 the Year of the Kid

Republicans talk a lot about what they’re against, but not what they’re for.

There are pressing challenges facing our state. Wisconsinites are sick and tired of having a do-nothing Legislature.

Republicans must get serious about getting things done.

Pete Hegseth must immediately resign or be removed.

His complete disregard for procedure and overall gross incompetence is an ongoing threat to national security.

The irony, of course, being that this kind of disdain for the First Amendment is, demonstrably, β€œhate for America.”

Before Georgia finished their state legislative session last Friday, anti-equality lawmakers worked quickly to pass 3 hateful anti-LGBTQ+ bills.

But as our @bentleyforus.bsky.social reminds us: They can’t legislate us out of existence. We aren’t going anywhere. www.walb.com/2025/03/31/p...

Senator Cory Booker has just broken the record for longest speech on the floor of the Senate at over 24 hours.

The person he beat? Racist Strom Thurmond, who spoke against the Civil Rights Act.

Bravo, Senator!

People across Wisconsin made their voices loud and clear: our votes are not for sale.

By many accounts, Wisconsin felt the weight of Americaβ€”and, frankly, the worldβ€”on its shoulders in this election. And Wisconsinites across our state showed up for this moment in record numbers to exercise the fundamental American right to cast their ballot in a fair, safe, and secure election. I want to thank our exceptional clerks, election administrators, and poll workers who helped ensure we could.

β€œIn our state’s history, we have perhaps never witnessed an election as significant, contentious, and divisiveβ€”or more expensive. But Wisconsinites proved we will not be boughtβ€”not by the richest or most powerful people in the world or anyone else. That matters.

β€œThis election was about the resilience of the Wisconsin and American values that define and unite us. This election was about doing what’s best for our kids, protecting constitutional checks and balances, reaffirming our faith in the courts and the judiciary, and defending against attacks on the basic rights, freedoms, and institutions we hold dear.

β€œBut above all, this election was as much about who Wisconsinites believe we can be as it was about the country we believe we must be.

β€œFor anyone who mistakenly believes actions and decisions in Washington are neither seen nor heard here in Wisconsin or states across our country, the people of Wisconsin responded tonight.

β€œWith renewed hope, faith, and purpose, our work to protect and defend these values continues in earnest tomorrow.

β€œForward, and for Wisconsin, always.”

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites.

Make a plan to vote early today β€” don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

Finally-It is disappointing that the federal government is attempting to make people worry about voting this close to an important election. I hope this is not a ham-fisted attempt to shore up a failing bid for the WI Supreme Ct by the candidate currently behind in the polls. 7/7

25.03.2025 21:26 β€” πŸ‘ 24    πŸ” 5    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

5-WI already uses paper ballots or paper voting trails. We do not have direct recording machines in the state. There is a paper record of every vote cast in the state. 6/7

4-The part of the order demanding proof of citizenship to register (again - for Federal elections!) doesn’t even take effect for 30 days, which puts it well past our Election on April 1. 5/7

25.03.2025 21:26 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

3-WI is prohibited by a state court ruling (from Waukesha county!) from even using the NVRA registration form referenced in the EO. No voters are registering in Wisconsin using that form. They are prohibited from doing so. 4/7

25.03.2025 21:26 β€” πŸ‘ 15    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

2-the EO focuses on the NVRA (National Voting Rights Act) and purports to require proof of citizenship for those persons using the NVRA form to register to vote. WI is *exempt* from the NVRA. 3/7

1-State elections are governed by state law, not federal law. The WI Supreme CT race is a state race only (there are no federal elections at all on April 1), so any federal demands do not and cannot affect this race. 2/7

A quick Wisconsin review of Trump’s new executive order:
tl;dr – This does *not* change anything for our upcoming election for Supreme Court on April 1. Here’s why: 1/7
