BREAKING: Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Ever scores a jaw-dropping victory by increasing funding for public schools in the state every year for the next four hundred years.
Yes. You read that correctly. 400 years. And the way he did it is truly amazing...
Gov. Evers used his partial veto authority to mark up and edit a spending bill that was only supposed to last for two years. This line-item veto power allows the governor to cut out parts of a bill while signing the rest into law.
Brilliantly, he changed the part that applied a $325 funding increase per student for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 years. He focused on the "2024-25" section and deleted the "20" and hyphen so that the end date for the funding became 2425.
The $325 per student annual increase of $325 until 2425 is the highest single-year increase in revenue limits in Wisconsin's history.
All in all, he made 50 line-item vetoes to the budget and said that the version he had been originally handed was "imperfect and incomplete." He used his stunning victory as an opportunity to hit the GOP for not caring about their constituents or education.
"In many ways, Republicans in the Legislature have failed to meet this historic moment, sending my budget back to my desk absent critical investments in key areas that they know — and publicly acknowledge — are essential to the success of our state, all while providing no real justification, substantive debate, or any meaningful alternative," said Evers. "That decision is, to put it simply, an abdication of duty."
This hilariously effective move is one of the biggest Democratic victories on a state level in a very long time.
Republicans are absolutely furious and there is nothing they can do about it. To override it, they'd need 2/3 of the state legislators in both houses and they don't have a veto-proof supermajority. They would need three Democrats to cross the aisle.
The bill is now law.

BREAKING: Legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson brutally rips into Donald Trump in an explosive new interview with Rolling Stone.
The brilliant tirade started with Jackson explaining that he was a "child of the Sixties" and he "grew up in segregation." Jackson says that some of the racists would hide it, but "they don't hide it anymore."
"I know how the Republicans feel about me now because of what my mindset is," he said.
"When I see Trump, I see the same rednecks I saw when I was growing up who called me “n***er” and tried to keep me in my place," Jackson went on. "That’s what the Republican Party is to me. They’re doing it to young people, gay people. They don’t care who you are. If you’re not them, you’re the enemy."
MAGA fans are absolutely furious and already vowing to never watch any more Samuel L. Jackson films. Apparently, the truth hurts.

BREAKING: Democratic Sen. John Fetterman delivers a star-making takedown of Republican policies and corporate greed during a hearing with a Silicon Valley Bank executive.
"Republicans want to give a work requirement for SNAP. A hungry family has to have these kinds of penalties," said Fetterman.
SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Republicans want to make it harder to access the life-saving program as part of their ongoing war on the poor.
"Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we bail out your bank with billions?" Fetterman asked the exec.
He's right. It's absurd to target the poor and unprivileged while greedy bankers are wrecking businesses, tanking the economy, and then floating to safety on their golden parachutes!
Retweet if you think that Fetterman is absolutely right!
BREAKING: Sen. Ted Cruz's nightmare comes to pass as superstar Democratic Rep. Colin Allred of Texas announces that he will run for Cruz's Senate seat in 2024.
Allred has been in Congress for three terms and is a former NFL player, providing a sharp contrast to the fake portrait of masculinity offered up by the deeply pathetic Ted Cruz — a creep so desperate to be seen as a "man" that he once cooked bacon with a machine gun for a campaign video.
“Some people say a Democrat can’t win in Texas,” said Allred. “Well, someone like me was never supposed to get this far.”
Ted Cruz has cultivated a reputation for not caring one lick about the people of Texas and infamously flew to Cancun for a tropical vacation while his constituents were dying and suffering in the dark after a winter storm caused blackouts. Nobody deserves another Senate term less.
Allred is who Texas deserves.
Retweet if you are rooting for Colin Allred!

When Republicans all shout "It's a mental healthy issue," obsessively over the next 2 weeks, just remember that they have been shouting this for years, and guess what! They don't really believe it or just don't care.
In Sept 2022, 205 Republicans Voted AGAINST the 'Mental Health Matters Act' to expand school mental health services. ALL 219 Democrats voted FOR it.
NEVER stop calling these people out for their hypocrisy!
I won't, even if Republicans make lies up about me to try and intimidate me.
