It's been 48 hours. I decide to retire to be with my family after 3 siblings died, daughter has Stage 4 cancer, and another brother had a heart attack + more
It shows that Democrats don't care about people, only power. @SenHesselbein should tell her team to take it down.

I didn't see this yesterday. What a bunch of jerks.
I received dozens of calls, texts, hugs, TYs and sympathies from Democrats yesterday, Even @SenHesselbein. And her campaign team does this.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them

If Democrats get control in November - this policy is also coming to Wisconsin.
How do I know? @GovEvers proposed it in his budget last year.

Oklahoma’s marijuana “experiment” has failed.
Youth use of marijuana is up. ER visits are up. Cartel crime is up. Massive amounts of oversupply are flooding the black market.
We don’t need more weed shops than pharmacies.
It’s time to shut this broken system down and protect our kids and communities.

The "fair maps" signs people are holding are not in agreement with Evers' call to ban gerrymandering.
The problem: The only way to draw maps with partisan balance is to literally engage in gerrymandering (Evers own map demonstrates this clearly).
Why: As has been demonstrated by experts from around the country, The D population in WI is clustered while the R population is distributed.
Their solution: Change the definition of gerrymandering so that any map - no matter how badly gerrymandered - is not called a gerrymander if it creates additional D seats.
Thus, what Evers wants is for his gerrymandering to be called "fair" and any other map to be labeled as a gerrymander.

PEOPLE need money to deal with higher costs.
And it wasn't a joke when he proposed it *CHECKS NOTES* in January 2022.
More money for schools isn't increased spending for schools. It's money for property tax relief in SOME school districts. No tax relief for others.

"That's just a joke. It's like buying votes." In a new interview this AM, Gov. Evers says he doesn't support Republicans' rebate check proposal and won't sign the GOP tax relief package as is: "No. We need more money for schools."

.@abatewis came to the Capitol on Tuesday to discuss their legislative priorities. It was great to meet a few of my own constituents who came to discuss the issues facing motorcyclists. Seven always does a great job planning this event each year; I’m glad I was able to stop by!

Earlier this year, I worked with @SenJesseJames to make sextortion a crime in Wisconsin.
Now, Senator James and I are working to increase the size of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, to track down these monsters!

The bill no longer requires online porn sites to ban VPNs (or it won't after my amendment - SA2 to AB 105.)
Texas Red@Bruce_Selina
@ThinkerChaotic The @FBI has even said you should have a VPN and adblockers as a way to make it harder to have your data stolen, it is a safety measure as many people use the internet to access bank accounts, IRS, SSI and work related stuff and to shop online. @Vanwanggaard is pro theft!

Last I checked, the surplus came from taxpayers, not schools.
It should go back to the taxpayers that created it.

My initial reaction to @GovEvers ' State of the State address?
What an absolute load of S***.
You're traveling through another dimension - dimension not only of sight or sound, but of mind. This is the dimension of imagination.
It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone"

Happy to have done it. And would have done it 1000x over,
Leadership is making tough decisions. Not just raising taxes.

Joined in February 2011 to be able to voice opinions on ACT 10 after Dems fled the state rather than vote on the bill. ACT 10 was the best example of true government reform. Props to Randy Hopper, @Vanwanggaard and @DanKapanke for their courageous votes #MyXAnniversary

What’s amazing, but not surprising, is that after raiding these funds and raising taxes, he has a $6.6 billion deficit in two years.
Just like what Jim Doyle did, and what Governor Evers would have done if Republicans didn’t stop him.

11 democrats in Wisconsin thought raising fees on farmers as much as 1700% was a good idea….
Let that sink in!
Credit to @SenRomaineQuinn pushing to get a vote on who supports farmers and their livelihood.
