It’s not a matter of if #cannabis will be legal in Wisconsin.. it’s a matter of when and how.

HUGE: The governor of Delaware will allow marijuana legalization and sales bill to become law. DE will be the 22nd state to legalize cannabis for adult-use. Gov. Carney won't sign them because he still opposes the reform, but he won't stand in the way.

This is a terrible day for democracy in Wisconsin. Our state & our democracy has suffered tremendously in the last 10 years due too grossly rigged, gerrymandered maps by the GOP behind closed doors. The WI Supreme Court has sided with another 10 years of highly partisan maps.

#Cannabis prohibition is not working for #Wisconsin . We need to #LegalizeIt to address Wisconsin's egregious racial disparities, bolster our agriculture and farming heritage, safely regulate the existing illicit market, and support entrepreneurhip.

. @SenateDemsWI are united in our request to Sen. LeMahieu to remove Bob Spindell from the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Bob Spindell does not reflect Wisconsin's values & is a danger to our democracy. He does not serve the people of WI, he serves his own party's interest.

For far too long, Republicans in power gerrymandered Wisconsin’s legislative maps to retain control rather than represent the will of the majority. Gerrymandering by any political party is unacceptable and it must come to an end once and for all.

🌱Happy Marijuana Monday!🌱 Wisconsin is losing major revenue dollars to our neighbors with legal cannabis. It is a booming industry but not here because of the inaction of my colleagues in the legislature.

Wisconsin is late to the pot party, and we are missing out on revenue dollars. Other states, red and blue alike, have legalized recreational and medicinal cannabis and have seen the positive economic and racial equity impacts.

It hasn't even been a month yet, & Minnesota is already reaping the economic benefits of legalization! Wisconsin is falling further behind, becoming an island of prohibition and hurting our state’s opportunity for economic growth. #THCTuesday #LegalizeIt

We know that Wisconsin needs legislative maps that represent the will of the people. Today in Senate Committee, the Vos-styled redistricting bill has a public hearing. Ultimately, this bill still allows for partisan gerrymandering.

Once again, it goes to show that these anti-LGBTQ attacks on our trans kids are based neither on logic nor science. Gender-affirming care is healthcare and decreases suicide among trans youth.

FACT: The State Senate has only rejected 5 executive appointments since 1981. Yet, my Republican colleagues more than DOUBLED that number of rejections in 1 day. Their increasingly extreme dysfunction continues to show their inability to govern.
