Actually,
@GovEvers
proposed a 10% middle-class tax plan to provide $1.2 billion in tax relief for working families, seniors, caregivers, parents, and veterans, among others.
You rejected it to give 11 filers who make $75 million+ an average $1.8 million tax cut per year instead

So, just to recap here, Donald Trump definitely said "Milwaukee is a horrible city" and Republicans not only aren't condemning it but also can't reach consensus on just ONE reason why "Milwaukee is a horrible city."
Got it, thanks!
So far, Reps. Fitzgerald and Grothman say Donald Trump’s “horrible city” remark was in reference to elections.
Rep. Van Orden says it was about crime.
Rep. Steil says Trump never said it.

responds to Republicans who’ve offered no meaningful response to his plan to invest our historic surplus into child care, paid leave, middle-class tax relief, and kids and schools:
“Instead of saying ‘we don’t have enough money,’ tell me what their damn plan is.”

Y’all, the point is not just that WISGOP candidates for governor won’t say whether they’ll overturn the 2020 election; the point is refusing to say they won’t means they might not affirm future fair, safe, and secure elections, either.
The antithesis of democracy is the point.

Shame on Republicans like
@Vanwanggaard
for continuing to perpetuate this lie.
Wisconsin had a fair and secure election in 2020, and Donald Trump lost, as has been verified and proven time and time again by the Legislative Audit Bureau, the courts, and multiple other reviews.
I asked GOP Sen.
@Vanwanggaard
about the failed recall which turned into a convo about the 2020 election.
He still questioned the outcome and believes Trump "could have won" and can "make the determination in his mind and his heart" if he won Wisconsin.

Also removing:
- paid family leave
- school-based mental health $
- cap on insulin co-pays
- tax relief for working families
- BadgerCare expansion
- lead service line replacement $
- efforts to address PFAS
GOP have no real plans to address pressing challenges facing our state.
Next week: Lawmakers on the Joint Finance Committee will begin stripping on numerous provisions in Gov. Evers budget proposal (which was expected).
Some of those include, marijuana legalization, funding for AmFam field, more shared revenue & tax cuts.

So, in summation, while the Wisconsin GOP fights basic measures to contain COVID-19, they also oppose federal aid to our state and plan to gut
@GovEvers
’
#BadgerBounceback
agenda which would help our families, farmers, schools, and small businesses bounce back from this pandemic.
GOP opposition to state and local aid remains as Senate heads toward vote on COVID bill and Sen. Ron Johnson calls it a 'boondoggle' saying he'll force the hundreds of pages of the bill to be read aloud and then being a parade of "many" amendments.

@SenStroebel
is among the Republican lawmakers who are on Day 313 of refusing to release $125 million to fight PFAS across Wisconsin.
He’s also declined to participate in either of two separate special meetings called by the governor to immediately release those funds.
On four separate occasions, I’ve voted to support historic funding for PFAS cleanup.
Tomorrow, I plan to make it a 5th.
While Democrats have chosen to block these funds at every turn, I’m committed to making sure these funds go out and that families get the relief they deserve

NEW:
@GovEvers
tells reporters in Wausau he’ll veto GOP maps passed today.
BREAKING: my promise to the people of Wisconsin is that I’d fight for fair maps, so I’ll be vetoing the maps passed by Republicans today.
Moving legislative district lines so GOP-gerrymandered incumbents get to keep their seats is just more gerrymandering.
Basic stuff, folks.

Actually,
@RepMagnafici
, thanks to
@GovEvers
, your Assembly district already received:
✅ $2.7+ million to expand high-speed internet
✅ $5.8+ million for child care
✅ $1.2+ million in farmer support
✅ $6.7+ million for small businesses
✅ $2.8+ million in rental assistance
3 years post-lockdown, and where has the federal relief for Wisconsinites gone? Under Gov. Evers, those funds sat unused while our families struggled. Now, they're being poured into sports stadiums in Milwaukee, Janesville, and Green Bay. Pandemic relief or misplaced priorities?

My favorite part about Wisconsin Republicans’ ~we want to work together~ narrative is when they send a formal, three-page letter that could’ve been a phone call just so they leak to press and get stories like this.
In the spirit of bipartisanship, of course!

was never part of any conversation the governor had with Republican leaders.
If he had been, he’d know that the governor upheld every part of the bipartisan compromise reached with the Speaker and the Majority Leader.

"It will be difficult, if not impossible, to ever negotiate with this governor again."

There is no one less qualified to be an authority on governing in a crisis than Republicans in the Legislature, who took a 300-day vacation during the worst economic crisis in a decade and the worst public health crisis in a century.
Wisconsin Republicans hope to pass a constitutional amendment stripping the governor of sole authority over how federal funds are spent.

This is an embarrassing response after Republicans have had over two months to consider Gov. Evers’ comprehensive workforce plan to prevent a looming child care crisis—a plan they refuse to support for reasons they won’t publicly explain.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu this PM is proposing to scrap Gov. Tony Evers proposal to funnel $1B into child care services and workforce programs and replace with an expanded child care tax credit and an income tax cut, among many other measures:

On the 250th day since Republicans last passed a bill,
@GovEvers
introduced a COVID compromise of items on which the governor and both GOP leaders agreed.
Republicans should be asked whether they plan to take up the compromise bill and when, and, if not, why.

It’s shameful that Republicans are watching our state face an unprecedented crisis and would rather continue playing politics than work with the governor to do what’s best for the people of our state.

BIG NEWS: in 17-18—the last full fiscal year before Gov. Evers took office—the state’s general fund had a GAAP deficit of $1.25 billion.
Under

Now that Republicans:
❌ rejected Child Care Counts
❌ refused to expand paid family leave
❌ proposed $0 state dollars to expand high-speed internet statewide
❌ threatened to cut UW by $3M+
When will press ask to see the GOP plan to address our state’s workforce challenges?
☀️Good morning!
Today’s a great day to ask Republicans what their plan is to recruit and retain talented workers and address our state’s workforce challenges since they continue to obstruct or reject

Wisconsin parents probably have a lot of questions for Republican legislators about why they passed a bill to enable *people who didn’t have to pass a background check* to be hired and interact with their kids at school on a day-to-day basis.
Because that’s BONKERS.

There was never a task or an ask that Ben wouldn’t greet with joyful service. He went into the world and about his job kindness first. He led not by being boisterous or overbearing, but with a quiet charisma and persevering patience.
We are devastated by Ben’s death, and our thoughts and prayers are with Ben’s family and friends as we all mourn the loss of an exceptional young man who was taken from us far, far too soon.
