🧵 Okay, Democrats, it's time to get our shit together b/c nothing—and I mean, NOTHING— is more important than the WI Supreme Court election on April 4, 2023. It's where we need to focus our effort and passion for the next five months so here are some details you'll need to know:

Yeah, I don't want to hear a word about honoring the results of elections from someone who was so bitter about losing his WI gubernatorial race that he conspired with Legislative Republicans during the lame duck session to take away power from the Democrat who was his successor.
I don’t want to hear a word from Democrats about honoring the results of elections. They had primaries and caucuses and
@JoeBiden
won. They plotted a coup and forced an incumbent to withdraw from the race weeks before the convention. So much for democracy.

THOSE lawmakers?
MYTH: WI would be slow or unable to respond with funding to an emergency if the 8/13 amendments pass.
TRUTH: In the event of an emergency situation, lawmakers could easily convene to appropriate federal funding through an extraordinary session as they do in other situations.

When he was governor, Scott Walker greatly misused the state plane for questionable purposes including having it pick him up in Wauwatosa for a haircut, costing WI taxpayers $2,586 but b/c he's an obnoxious dolt w/ no self-awareness, I expect him to tweet about this in 3, 2, 1...

Parnas testifies that unverified political dirt would come over from Ukraine that he would pass along John Solomon, and then Solomon would immediately go on Fox News and amplify it. He also singles out Ron Johnson and Pete Sessions for doing Russia's bidding with him.

Restricting comments, Chris? Let me point out that he's talking about unanticipated federal money that comes in response to emergencies and how WI GOP legislators acted and *didn't act* during the COVID pandemic is proof enough that they cannot handle this kind of responsibility.
A “yes” vote to both constitutional amendments on the August 13th ballot would mean that federal money sent to Wisconsin would be subject to the same legislative oversight and input as all other state spending. Voting “no” allows the governor sole spending power of these funds.

As

keeps lying about his involvement in the WI fake elector scheme, don't forget that he also pushed for the GOP-controlled Legislature to choose WI's electors, around the same time when the fake electors were planning to meet in Dec. 2020.

🔥 MUST READ. The fake elector scheme, birthed in WI, was never about preserving legal options, it was about sowing chaos, confusion and delay so the election would be thrown to loser Donald Trump. The 10 WI fake electors, RPW officials and Joe Olson need to be held to account.
There must be accountability for those who tried to disregard the will of the voters & overturn the 2020 election results.

🧵A few things to understand about Andrew Hitt's answers during his rehabilitation tour. In his
@January6thCmte
deposition, Hitt admitted that yes, he is an attorney who has specifically practiced election law in Wisconsin and yet, he was somehow "tricked" into participating? /1
Andrew Hitt, former GOP chairman and elector, acknowledged attorneys for the Republican Party of Wisconsin were in communications with the Republican National Committee and Trump campaign officials ahead of electors meeting but insisted they were unaware of the larger plot

Feigning ignorance does not absolve the WI fake electors. They clearly followed the steps & messaging detailed in the 3 memos written by Kenneth Chesebro, who—according to Hitt's text messages—was also in attendance WITH the WI fake electors when they did the dirty deed that day.

Of course the biggest problem for Dan Kelly is that Wisconsinites have already witnessed HIS judicial activism, HIS politicizing the Supreme Court, and HIS legislating from the bench in all his pompous and self-righteous glory which is why he lost his seat bigly a few years ago.

The harsh truth is that

Interesting that both Jennifer Dorow and Dan Kelly are from televangelist Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network School of Law, renamed Regent University School of Law, which was ranked a "tier four" school & was unaccredited when both graduated from it in the early '90s.

Tonight,

got only 2977 more votes than his Republican primary opponent... who dropped out months ago. 😂 Also, it looks like Elizabeth Uihlein, the president of Uline, gave Robin Vos $500,000 (!) in this election cycle. Ummm... why exactly? And where did that money go?

When he was governor, Scott Walker greatly misused the state plane for questionable purposes including having it pick him up in Wauwatosa for a haircut, costing WI taxpayers $2,586 but b/c he's an obnoxious dolt w/ no self-awareness, I expect him to tweet about this in 3, 2, 1...

Robin Vos is so triggered by Wisconsin Democrats because he's actually the one doing the things that he believes THEY'RE doing when they're not doing it at all. I have yet to come across an interview with Vos where he's not massively projecting pretty much all the way through.

Robin Vos projecting BIG TIME in his FB post that he says states the "truth" about his record. It's basically Vos saying to us Wisconsinites who are suffering, "Who are you going to believe: me or your lying eyes?" So, allow me to respond to each of Vos' four points.

The moment when President Obama was informed that the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld the Affordable Care Act on June 25, 2015. The wonderful post by White House photographer Pete Souza about that moment also includes several other remarkable photos.

It looks like this is being co-opted by RWers, crying about "checks and balances" which is whole lot of phooey since every single WI governor since 1931 has had these spending powers. It's really just another petty Legislative GOP power grab to build on their 2018 lame duck laws.

Bullsh*t. You want to give power back to the insurance companies and that means people are "covered" w/ exorbitant premiums. And guess what? It doesn't matter what you or I define as a pre-existing condition – it's whatever the insurance company defines. And it could be baldness.

Well, remember when WI GOP legislators wanted 1/3 of the $3.2B in federal COVID relief to the state to be used for property tax rebates which would have primarily rewarded WI's wealthiest residents? Even though provisions barred states from using those funds to offset tax cuts?
@synathroesmus
I take him to mean the amendment lets the gop pass the money along to their rich donors as tax cuts

Whether it's Donald Trump stalking Hillary Clinton in a debate, Derrick Van Orden trying to cut in front of a female protestor or J.D. Vance here, Republican males think they have the right to be aggressive like this because women are simply unworthy to hold space in this world.

Holy shit, this story. During the debate on WI GOP's redistricting bill last Thursday, I know that Dem Reps. Cabrera and Ortiz-Velez from Milwaukee were officially excused from the session before that particular vote. However, was this actually a serious lapse by
@AssemblyDemsWI
?
Wisconsin Democratic state Rep. Steve Doyle tells a story of walking into the Assembly chamber last week, and getting the harmonious groan from Republicans, as his vote stopped the legislature from, perhaps, 60 veto overrides.

Update:
@js_politics
,
@journalsentinel
and
@hopekarnopp
misstepped. The article actually presents several important (and very crucial) differences between the redistricting plans but they're buried deep b/c the framing, lede and headline are that the plans are "nearly identical."
And WI media, you need to step the f*ck up and provide proper context in your reporting. What's the point of a nonpartisan agency drawing up maps if WI GOP still has the power to accept/reject those maps? Just b/c Robin Vos says it's nonpartisan redistricting does not make it so.
