Scott Walker judge David Wilk sentences sex trafficking victim Chrystul Kizer To 11 years in prison for killing her sex trafficker.
This is in Kenosha where white nationalist Kyle Rittenhouse was allowed to murder two people in cold blood and wound a third.
The difference?
Holy fuck. In the 75% Republican, racist right wing county in which I grew up, the school board where I went and my mom taught had an all-out fight between a slate of screaming about CRT, transphobic, book banning nazis and five Dems. The Dems swept all five fucking seats.
Just a reminder: the owner of

Milwaukee Police Association that was run by the Milwaukee cop who handed an escaped Jeffrey Dahmer victim back to Dahmer to be murdered is endorsing the white Republican guy with 13 felony convictions over the Democratic Black woman who was a DA and AG.
NEWS: The Milwaukee police union, the Milwaukee Police Association, today will endorse Trump/Vance, as VP Nominee JD Vance speaks here and meets union reps from around the area.
It ain’t complicated.
@PeteButtigieg

When we sued with attorney Marc Elias’s firm to restore voting rights in Wisconsin in 2016, Maggie Haberman DMed me to ask me who was paying for the lawsuit for my progressive organization.
So, I’m sure she’s ready to ask the same of the former GOP Vice Presidential candidate.
Here’s the clip of the night from the Wisconsin Senate debate.
@tammybaldwin
: “
@erichovde
should stay out of my personal life. And I think I speak for most Wisconsin women that he should stay out of all of our personal lives.”
McConnell blocked a vacancy on 7th Circuit Court of Appeals for 3,046 days. Victoria Nourse was nominated in January 2010. It was filled by Trump.
This seat would likely have given the 7th Circuit an anti-Voter ID majority. Doesn't include the Barrett 7th Circuit theft.
Somehow Congressional Watchers have wiped from their memory the fact that Mitch McConnell's very first move after Trump won was to eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees so he could jam through Justice after shrinking the court to 8 seats for nearly a year.

It was the most racist, most corrupt campaign in history.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.
So far I’ve not seen single statement of condemnation from a single elected Republican in Wisconsin about nazis marching at our state capitol. Nothing from Ron Johnson, Robin Vos, that Devin guy from the state senate, nor any of their members and certainly not the House GOPers.
Nazis in Madison, Wisconsin are clearly a group of serious losers who want attention, but won’t take their masks off. Ridiculous a**holes of the highest magnitude. Small minds.
There’s no place for Nazis anywhere but in history books, so they never actually have power again.
Fyi...

Let's cut the shit. Trump isn't "campaigning" in Madison; he's flying to a shitty business a 1/2 hour away whose owners support a rapist, racist, where he will say crazy shit a racist rapists says to screened employees of the shitty business. Don't pretend it's more.

✅In cities of more than 1 million people, violent crime is down nearly 15%
✅Murder is down 15.6% nationally

Maybe talk to someone in Milwaukee beside white nationalist radio hosts.
During my recent visit to Milwaukee, the number one issue I heard from folks that they're concerned about is the rise of crime in our major cities.
The left's dystopian vision of de-funding the police is not how we make our cities safer.

Wondering why you can’t afford a house? Massive deficit spending sparking 40-year-high inflation, which drives up the cost of homes and mortgage payments.

My wife went to see Barry Manilow last night in Milwaukee. She said the guy from Gruber Law walked past and everyone cheered, because they thought he was Barry.
Mike Johnson says if Trump wins and Republicans expand their House majority and take the Senate, he has already spoken with Trump about making “big radical changes,”“aggressive changes” to the govt in first 100 days.
Here’s a quid pro quo:
@SenRonJohnson
gave the billionaire Uihleins and Diane Hendricks $500 million in special tax breaks he publicly extorted during Trump tax cuts. They then spent $30-40 million in racist ads to get Ron Johnson re-elected.

My dude, Scott Walker & the GOP passed voter suppression laws a federal judge systematically found 8 different t ways targeted Black people in Milwaukee. A 3-GOP judge appeals court restored all of this suppression right before the 2016 election. It was by design.
Voter turnout has never recovered in Milwaukee County since former President Barack Obama was on the ballot, with a drop in the tens of thousands since 2012:

Democratic elected officials in Wisconsin at every level need to be relentlessly torching this attempted coup. If you sit back and think legal arguments are going to win the day in the corrupt GOP-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court or SCOTUS, you are fools.

@RepBryanSteil
handed out $757 billion in forgiven PPP loans. Why should a student loan borrower have to pay for multimillionaire
@repvos
to have $297,600 in socialist PPP handouts?
I wish a single Wisconsin media outlet would ask Steil this question.
Today, President Biden is back in Wisconsin pitching another expensive, inflationary election year giveaway. His student loan debt repayment plan is an unconstitutional abuse of power and is unfair to anyone who did not go to college or paid off their own loans.
Republicans in Congress obstructed every single day of the eight years President Obama was in office.
Republican Justice Annette Ziegler tried that same obstruction for eight weeks & the new progressive Wisconsin Supreme Court majority said GFY.
Proud to be a WI progressive.

Two people died because a 17-year-old Trump supporter came from another state with an AR-15. And 99.9% of elected Wisconsin Republicans have refused to condemn the shooter or Trump for fanning the flames of violence.

I missed yesterday’s three-year anniversary of multimillionaire/multi-spouse

I will never, ever, ever, ever understand why Democrats in Wisconsin still refuse to call out his unparalleled hypocrisy.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold calls out the complete failure of feckless Merrick Garland for turning DOJ into a safe space for MAGA Republicans who target election officials with intimidation and threats of violence.

Three billionaires, the Dick & Betty Uihlein and Diane Hendricks, the richest woman in WI, spent more than $40 million in racist ads after corrupt
@SenRonJohnson
publicly extorted a $500 million tax break for the trio.
Wisconsin could’ve had Mandela Barnes in the Senate instead of the dangerously anti-science Ron Johnson, but right-wing rich people bought racist TV ads to prevent that from happening.
Senator Kohl was a unique fixture in American politics. His giving spirit, both during & after public service, made him such an effective senator. Herb always put Wisconsinites first & always delivered for Wisconsin. My thoughts are with his family today.

How fair it to ask people who did not go to college or paid for college themselves or paid off their own loans to pay federal taxes that are used to pay off student loan debt in an election year?!? It’s not!

Not a single story in Wisconsin media. Too bad Ron Johnson didn’t fuck his wife, like the UW LaX chancellor did, or we’d be on day 6 of the media coverage.
Newly-obtained recordings and emails show how Trump campaign operatives flew fake elector ballots from Michigan and Wisconsin to D.C. — just two days before Jan. 6 — in a final push to overturn the 2020 election.
That’s going to be news to all of the Republican Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices who have voted in-person early. So Troupis thinks Roggensack, Ziegler, R Bradley and Hagedorn are lawbreakers?
Chris Troupis of the Trump campaign wants to throw out all in-person early votes in Dane County.
He says the applications for those ballots are invalid because they are submitted in conjunction with the ballot.
Hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets in what some are calling riots in Kenosha. Rocks and bricks have been thrown, and at least one molotov cocktail being thrown has been reported, as is property damage.

impeaching Judge Janet, who won by 200,000 votes, means GOPers will impeach any Supreme Court Justice who is not a reliable Republican vote, as long as they have 50 seats.
