Don't be fooled. The latest WI GOP stunt around maps is all about protecting their gerrymander.
A last-minute map from a group of politicians who have been gerrymandering in Wisconsin for 10+ years is not a map that protects the best interests of voters.https://t.co/7pH6aEmLMC
Despite a clear path to achieve #FairMaps in the state, today WI Republicans are trying to advance legislative maps that protect their gerrymander and maintain the GOP's unfair advantage.
This is an expected move from lawmakers who have obstructed fair maps for over a decade.
🚨NEW: Records obtained by our team show the right-wing law firm @WILawLiberty was intimately involved in writing and advancing an educational censorship bill that targets LGBTQ topics and students in an attempt to change state law and profiteer off of it.https://t.co/aV2ls9982m
Wisconsinites should not have to continue suffering under unconstitutional maps.
Today’s deadline to submit constitutional map options will keep Wisconsin moving forward in replacing the gerrymandered state legislative districts before the next election. https://t.co/l1bKK78sBu
🚨BREAKING: The WI Supreme Court has ruled that the current state legislative maps drawn by Republicans are unconstitutional—delivering a historic win for democracy.
For years, Republicans have used these rigged maps to stay in power and undermine progress on important issues.
Jim Troupis never should've been reappointed to the judicial ethics panel after his role in the MAGA conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election was public. And he certainly shouldn’t continue to serve in any position of public trust.
He must be removed. https://t.co/TfNsVyrfD5
Next week, the state Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case seeking fair legislative maps in Wisconsin.
There is a lot at stake.
#FairMaps would ensure voters have an equal voice on the issues that matter most and hold our elected leaders accountable to Wisconsinites.
#ICYMI: Kenneth Chesebro, a key player in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election, has pleaded guilty for his role in the fake elector scheme in GA.
Of note, is Chesebro's WI contact throughout these illegal efforts—Jim Troupis.

🚨NEW: In a positive step on the path to #FairMaps, the WI Supreme Court has officially decided it will take up a case that challenges the current partisan gerrymander and seeks to ensure every Wisconsinite’s voice holds equal weight in our elections. https://t.co/53WblS3mY2
#ICYMI ➡️ new polling shows that Wisconsin voters oppose impeaching newly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz by a 24 point margin.
It's time Republicans like @SpeakerVos listen to the will of the people and put an end to their efforts to overturn the April election.

NEW: @ABetterWis releases comprehensive poll showing Wisconsin voters oppose @repvos & GOP scheme to impeach @janetforjustice by a 24-point margin. That's twice as many points as her 11-point victory in April that Vos and Republicans are trying to undo.
“By overwhelming margins, Wisconsinites are telling us they oppose overturning the result of the April 2023 election with threats to impeach Justice Protasiewicz."
"They value their votes and they expect their votes to be respected by the legislature.” https://t.co/QSgfFbxx7Q
Last spring, WI voters came out in historic numbers to elect Janet Protasiewicz to the WI Supreme Court and push #FairMaps forward.
WI Republicans like Robin Vos will do anything to block Justice Protasiewicz and fair maps because they rely on gerrymandering to remain in office.
"[Rebecca Bradley's] rhetoric is reckless, her threats and courting of the right-wing media are blatantly partisan, and it looks like she’s working with @SpeakerVos and the GOP Legislature to do everything they can to undermine the will of the voters..." https://t.co/eVSoMcoDFj

🚫 Rejecting affordable healthcare expansion
🚫 Advancing a tax plan that only benefits the wealthy

This month, the Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ folks in the United States as right-wing extremists continue to put their lives and well-being at risk with violent rhetoric and lies.
We must fight back this Pride and beyond, together.
The vast majority of Wisconsinites do not support our state's 174-year old criminal abortion ban.
As arguments begin in the case to repeal this archaic ban, watch and share this video from Dr. Lyerly with @ctphealthcare to spread awareness about the state of abortion in WI ⬇️
ICYMI: Wisconsin Republicans continue to obstruct investments in working families.

It's state budget season in WI and as a taxpayer you should know how your money is being spent.
@GovEvers' proposed budget delivers on what Wisconsinites elected him to do by funding education, healthcare, and jobs. But today, Republicans are gutting these popular provisions.🧵
