Dr. King had a great moral vision for America & worked towards actualizing his dream. I think about where we are now, & I see that we have so much farther to go, but we can create change. It’s on us to carry the baton & strengthen our democracy & center equity in all that we do.
Yesterday, I attended the groundbreaking ceremony for a new agriculture facility at the Port of MKE. This will be a new opportunity for WI farmers, helping them reach a global market. We must keep investing in our infrastructure to stay competitive & support our local economy.
Republicans claim to care about freedom as they oppose:
▪️Rights for individuals to make their own health care decisions
▪️Voting rights
▪️Safe schools and public spaces during the pandemic
Republicans are against progress and are destroying what makes America great.
156 years ago on June 19, the announcement of the end of the Civil War & slavery reached Galveston, TX.
Since then, this day represents freedom for African-Americans.
Today, we're celebrating that freedom by sending a House-passed bill to make #Juneteenth a holiday to @POTUS.
CONFIRMED: The @usedgov just let us know that the Wisconsin @GOP's insufficient education budget proposal would disqualify Wisconsin from receiving $1.5 billion in federal COVID aid for students, schools, colleges & universities.
@GOP, stop playing games & fund education.
Today marks a new chapter, and I want to congratulate @POTUS on his historic inauguration today. We are facing unprecedented struggles across our state and nation, but I'm confident we can and will overcome them together.
I am looking forward to working with an Administration that wants to:
✅Champion policies that put workers first
✅Restore our safety net programs
✅Support our most vulnerable
So far this morning Trump has posted tweets attacking:
1. SCOTUS
2. The FBI
3. DOJ
4. The New York Times
5. Mitch McConnell
6. Republican senators
He has not had a nice thing to say about anyone.
House Democrats have fought for months to provide relief to the American people, which Republicans rejected at every turn. Now that the President has agreed to direct payments of $2000, we will ask for unanimous consent to pass a bill this week to give Americans this assistance.
We need to stop calling it a “recount.” It is the attempted wholesale disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters by the Republican Party because they cannot admit Joe Biden won.
This is what we get when one party embraces conspiracy theories.
Note the date on the first image (from Kenosha GOP) and the second image. Over 100 people contacted my office over the past 2 days based solely on misinformation from 6 months ago.
