RESULT: Wisconsin voters just *rejected* two constitutional amendments that legislative Republicans put on the ballot in a bid to weaken the powers of the governor and executive branch.
The AP just called both measures for the "NO," which is ahead 60% to 40% at the moment.

The rich are protecting their own.
They're coming for our right to a healthy planet, our right to a good life, and our right to a good wage. All so the corporate class doesn't get a SLIGHTLY higher fraction of their riches taken and given to the people who made them their money.

The super rich are backing Trump like never before. More than five dozen billionaires are supporting his campaign for the presidency.
This thread will show who his billionaire backers are.

Today, as
#SCOTUS
effectively struck down Miranda rights, Stacey Abrams is literally campaigning on raising police wages...while the minimum wage in her own state is $7.25.
If Democrats abandon their own voters in 2022, they will lose.
Law enforcement are often paid less than a living wage, and that is wrong.
We must raise pay for officers and address violent crime as we work to build community trust and foster law enforcement accountability.
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our longtime member and volunteer Nettie McGee.
Nettie was a dedicated activist and cared deeply about the environment. We should all strive to be a fierce fighter just like Nettie was.
Please keep her family in your thoughts.
Wisconsinites turned out in FORCE to SOUNDLY reject Republicans' effort to consolidate power and usurp constitutionally granted authority of the Governor. We couldn’t be happier to see this last-minute power grab by the GOP fail.
Dan Kelly and Janet Protasiewicz just finished debating.
The facts are clear: Dan Kelly is a far-right Republican activist. He's running for Supreme Court to keep our maps rigged, keep abortion banned, and make the rich even richer.

Ron Johnson fights for big money & special interests.

Today I delivered Ron Johnson a fat check from the NRA to remind him that blood is on his hands by taking $1.2 million dollars from the gun lobby and refusing to pass common sense gun reform.
The point is simple - Ron is a do-nothing Senator because the NRA lines his pockets.

The Uncommitted Movement wants the best for the Democratic Party. They are not wreckers. A significant majority of the Democratic base wants a ceasefire and disapproves of Israel’s destructive war. They’re simply trying to ensure the party holds up to its values and principles.
Progressives and the democratic party already don't see eye to eye. However, we've done our job, turned out to vote blue, and rallied around defeating Trump. If Democrats are not willing to fight for us like we have for them, cycle after cycle, why should we keep showing up?
NEW: Milwaukee has launched a groundbreaking program to replace all of the city’s 65,000 lead pipes.
40% of the jobs created are going to workers from the city’s poorest neighborhoods.
It’s thanks to the Biden admin’s $15 billion investment in removing lead pipes nationwide.
Nice try Scott. Your party took policy decisions out of the hands of Wisconsinites when you let politicians choose their voters, not the other way around.
Gerrymandering is a crisis of democracy. We’re not taking it anymore.

When they tell us they are going to take policy decisions out of the hands of elected representatives, we should consider ourselves forewarned by the radicals. They cannot take over the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Not very "high-minded" of us.
This, too, is on the table if we FLIP the Supreme Court on April 4 and end one-party Republican rule.

Indefensible. This is truly an awful and embarrassing move by the DNC that shows they are out of touch with the Democratic base. Solidarity to all uncommitted delegates for their efforts. The fight for Palestinian freedom doesn’t end here.
👀 Several senior Republicans on Capitol Hill told

that they will push for terminating the new program that's lowering Medicare drug prices if they win power in this year's elections.
Ron Johnson is completely detached from reality. He has no plan to keep you, your children, or your community safe.

fighting for Wisconsin families in the US Senate.
Sen. Ron Johnson blames "liberal indoctrination" for school shootings: "We stopped teaching values. Now we're teaching wokeness. We're indoctrinating our children with things like CRT."
Maybe the people making the decision to end the stay at home order should work an essential job for a week or two, and see if they still feel comfortable with the decision they've made.

Tonight police in Kenosha shot yet another black man several times in the back. The horrific video is on social media and deserves a content warning. This is yet another example of an unconscionable and totally unnecessary use of force by law enforcement against people of color.

Voter suppression is a bipartisan issue. Both parties are beholden to Exxon, Raytheon, Goldman Sachs, and Boeing. The "party of democracy" is keeping a candidate who rightfully earned his ballot spot off in North Carolina, take note.

"Unions that represent nurses and other health care workers are pointing out that their members have been through hell. They’re seeking new contracts that recognize and respect the sacrifices made during the pandemic. And, yes, they are talking about striking if it is necessary."
After a year on the frontlines of the COVID fight, Wisconsin nurses are demanding that a major hospital respect their sacrifices. They are prepared to strike for humane working conditions.

Rolling back hundreds of environmental programs including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Environmental Policy Act will not lead us to "crystal clean water."

For once, democrats have a united front. Messing up the VP choice by picking someone who will upset key parts of the base would be the worst possible option.

To hurt working families and our planet.

Today, 10 of my Senate colleagues and I sent a letter to President Biden urging him not to cave in to extreme Republican demands that will cause irreparable harm to the American people. Instead, he should prepare to use the 14th Amendment to avoid a catastrophic debt default.

- and it may be a race you've never heard of.
If we FLIP the Supreme Court in April, HUGE priorities for working people (abortion rights and ending gerrymandering) could ALL be within our grasp.
Health care is a human right. It shouldn’t matter where you live, how much money you make, or whether you have a pre-existing condition. It’s incumbent we make that right a reality with Medicare for All.

✅ No premiums
✅ No copays
✅ No deductibles
✅ No surprise bills
✅ No losing insurance when you lose your job
...all while saving Americans billions AND giving every American coverage.

Capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism. It’s exploitation.
Yesterday,

met with his Competition Council and discussed our efforts to increase competition and get lower prices for families, fairer wages for workers, and more innovation across the economy.
We are once again asking: is this truly the most important election of our lifetimes? If it is, which we believe to be true, then are we really doing everything we can to prevent a second Trump term?
