Wisconsin's working people rejected the richest man in the world's attempts to literally buy an election, and embraced a circuit court judge who puts workers over billionaires.
Congrats to Judge Susan Crawford and the Wisconsin AFL-CIO for making this victory possible.

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

The world's richest man is taking a sledgehammer to Social Security, Medicaid, and other vital programs that millions rely on.
He’s doing it so the president can cut taxes for the richest people and the biggest corporations in America.
Kudos to Senator Cory Booker for sounding the alarm.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.
It's fascism.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
