Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Lisa Murkowski is great at speaking.
Lisa Murkowski is terrible at voting.
One of these is more important than the other. Until she votes as sensibly as she speaks, it's absolutely crucial to vote her out.

The beer industry is one of the most significant industries here in Wisconsin, and it also stands to be one of the hardest hit. This will impact all of our communities deeply, and we have to be prepared for it. Here's my latest Substack post on it:

Just posted my first Substack! It's about how we should move forward after Ben Wikler's leadership is over. There's some big shoes fill, but I think we have an opportunity to build on his progress with the right leader.

Brad Schimel, who is trying to buy a seat on our Supreme Court, supported overturning the 2020 election.
Remember that when he claims he's the "common sense" choice.
Erasing democracy is not Common Sense

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Great turnout despite the weather for the first #50501 protest in Monroe, WI today.
A dictator's greatest asset is silence and apathy. In Wisconsin, we won't let that happen. We will not be silent, and we will not go without resistance.
Wisconsin is NOT for sale!
