When I describe Wisconsin as the “meth lab of democracy” this is exactly what I mean. The Bradley Foundation funds advocacy, legal and organizing groups to shape WI, which was made more lethal by rigged maps and a Supreme Court that was as well. We now have fair maps and fair courts. We’re a democracy again for the first time in 15 years. WILL moving into their billionaire’s HQ just underscores that they’re the legal firm for them, against us. Wisconsin has a chance to break this system and win a trifecta in 2026. I will do everything in my power to make that happen.

Democrats have been advocating for this bill for YEARS and after pulling every lever they could on the final day of the session, *that's when GOP leadership caved*. I don't doubt that many Republicans do genuinely want this bill to pass. It had 70+ sponsors and passed 32-1 in the Senate, after all. But none of that broke through to Vos until Neubauer and Dems tied these two bills to every other bill. They went absolutely all-out and should be commended for it. It's a gargantuan political victory for Greta Neubauer and Assembly Democrats.

@DanRShafer Democrats did not force a vote on that bill- that was all Bob Donovan, Jessie Rodriquez, Todd Novak and a few others. Dems do not want the bill to pass. It is purely an election year issue for them.

POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE in Tarrant County, Texas, the biggest red county in the country. Democrat Taylor Rehmet beats Republican Leigh Wambsganss in state senate district that Trump carried in 2024 by 17 points. The district hasn’t voted Democratic in half a century.

Of course, the fight isn’t waiting for the publication of this book. It’s underway, from the streets of Minneapolis to your own front door. Meanwhile, I'm furiously revising, my publisher is moving heaven and earth to get it out at breakneck speed.

War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. #Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself. Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
