On Tuesday, I joined a coalition of pro-democracy groups who delivered ~2k signatures to Sen. Devin LeMahieu demanding he #FireBob Spindell - a fake Trump elector who is inexplicably still serving on the WI Elections Commission. Election deniers have no business overseeing elections.

As a UWM alum, I'm happy to see this program, but it should be statewide. Republicans blocked the Wisconsin Tuition Promise program in the last budget. They prioritize tax breaks for the wealthy few over public education for all of our kids. wkow.com/news/economy/u…

MYTH: declining enrollment means public schools don't need any more money FACT: Enrollment declines actually INCREASE costs for districts on a per-student basis Don't believe me? Listen to former Republican State Senator Luther Olsen.

Arizona did what WI Republicans have wanted to do for years - implemented a private school voucher program with no income limits or enrollment caps. The result: vouchers cost AZ over 5 times what they predicted, contributing to a $1.4 billion budget deficit. Say NO to Vouchers

There are a lot of reasons to reject #Project2025, but raising taxes on the middle class is one of the most obvious. We need a more progressive tax code that ensures the rich pay their fair share, not "flatter" taxes that harm hardworking families.

Today is International #OverdoseAwarenessDay. Despite a slight decrease last year, Wisconsin tragically lost over 1,700 lives to overdose in 2023. For information on overdose prevention resources in your area, visit the WI DHS site: bit.ly/47oBbFv

FDA-approved COVID vaccines, formulated to target the dominant strains of COVID-19 circulating this year, will soon be available at WI pharmacies. The CDC recommends everyone 6 mo+ get it. It's especially important for those 65+ and those who are high-risk. #VaccinesSaveLives

The Mitchell Park Domes are a Milwaukee staple. One of my favorite memories is taking my son Atticus to the tropical dome for the first time. Contact your MKE County Supervisor to let them know you want them to #SaveOurDomes!

Democrats want you to have the freedom to pursue your chosen career, to bargain for better wages and working conditions, and to be able to take time off to care for your family and yourself when necessary. Republicans want you to take any job for any wage under any conditions.

Wisconsin is underfunding its public schools to a severe degree. This fall, 137 referendum questions will be on the ballot in 120 districts, with a total ask of over $4.25 Billion. By shortchanging our kids and our teachers, we're bankrupting our own future.

This is a billionaire funded stooge, paid to distract people from the abysmal record of voucher schools.    Public dollars should stay with public schools that are publicly accountable.

Yesterday marked yet another school shooting in our country. We must move beyond thoughts and prayers to action and policies. Every child deserves to go to school free from the fear of gun violence. #RedFlagLawsNow #BanAssaultWeapons

Happy #ReadABookDay! I'm reading The Privateers - its about how school voucher programs originated with billionaires who feared racial integration, and created voucher schemes to try and stop it. Not exactly a beach read, but fascinating and important nonetheless.

In the past few days, Senator Ron Johnson has suggested the Great Depression was an inside job and that the federal gov't may have been involved in the July shooting incident involving former Prez Trump. Ron Johnson proves time and again why he's not fit to be a U.S. Senator.
