Yes, the fiscal consequences of repealing Act 10 are scary and real and will cause local budgets to implode. A union shouldn’t be able to elect the very people they will be making deals with. The progressive superhero FDR agreed.
Teachers across Wisconsin are getting their jollies protesting for socialism today. Have at it. But the people they are supposed to be working for and who are paying their salaries are fully aware of the following. You're testing their patience and it's starting to wear out.
Governor Evers on Good Friday vetoed a series of bills that would have largely benefitted:
❌Service employees who rely on tips
❌Hourly employees who rely on overtime
❌Homeowners who have been stunned by skyrocketing property taxes.

Will @PolitiFactWisc@hopekarnopp fact check Democrats who claim the state budget spent “zero dollars” on K-12? Claim by Rep. Cruz and many others that will be used as a centerpiece of a campaign of lies next year, so important to clear up.
This was an assignment in a HS class in Middleton, WI. Kids were expected to write their full names and identify as either Democrats or Republicans or independents--in public, in the hallway of the school. One female student who did NOT participate heard others say "all those people are N@zis", pointing at the red squares
The teacher then ordered her to participate, even though she indicated she was afraid to--and told him about the "n@zi" comment. He dismissed her and ordered her to complete the assignment.
She was described as "shaking" after being ordered to out herself. @scarlett4kids@wisconsin_now
Wow!!!! Read this comment from a University of Wisconsin-River Falls professor, which he posted on Wisconsin Right Now Facebook. Make this go viral!! Profile in courage!!!!! Get this guy on national TV. https://t.co/ZBPxfPQSMS
A very bright light and wonderfully powerful voice is leaving our State Supreme Court. I join the vast majority of the citizens of our great state of Wisconsin who regret and will sincerely miss her intellect, wit, and judicial philosophy on our highest court. Her absence will echo for years.
Justice Rebecca Bradley was not just a phenomenal jurist, but she wrote opinions that not only set out the law in precise, understandable terms but soared with an artistry that is not often seen. Just as I imagined United State Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia standing fast as the winds of chaos and political division swirled around him when he wrote his many formidable dissents, Justice Bradley has withstood multiple assaults against the Court and maintained her equanimity with an enviable calm and always managed to steer towards that guiding star for all jurists: our Constitution.
With eloquent turns of phrase, Justice Bradley used her deep intellect and legal acumen to write for the law, for our future, for all of Wisconsin. It takes courage to stand as one branch against all of the others; Justice Bradley did precisely that. It takes courage to stand strong when our courts are under attack from political winds and when judges are asked to bend to non-judicial ideological identities. It takes courage to stand up, even in dissent, and unflinchingly defend the law. Judicial courage is necessary today more than ever.
One cannot help but wonder why our state Supreme Court appears to no longer be a place of diverging and keen intellectual, judicial views. When I first passed the bar, I looked with somewhat awe at the members of that court and admired their deep dedication to the law — regardless of their judicial point of view, if anything, those diverging voices echoed the deep-seated independence of Wisconsin itself. Now, it appears to be a political — not judicial — enclave and no longer is a devotion to the law the uppermost consideration. The loss of Justice Rebecca Grassl Bradley is one more step in the wrong direction.
It is not too late to start to restore that Court — and all of our courts. Wisconsin deserves better. The absence of Justice Rebecca Bradley will be difficult to overcome. She leaves an outstanding legacy of written opinions that will continue to shine and inspire the judiciary for decades. She will be greatly missed. I wish Justice Bradley all the best and look forward to seeing how she will continue to elevate the practice of law and administration of Justice on whatever next steps she takes on her incredible judicial journey. Godspeed.
I am seriously considering a run for the State Supreme Court and I am grateful to those that have already reached out to me. I will make a decision in the next few weeks. Thank you.
Here it is! A serious conversation with @JoshSchoemann about leadership during a natural disaster. You don't want to miss this one @LAXGOP@WisGOP@WisGOPChairman

RIGHT NOW: The City of Milwaukee has hired a convicted murder to head its...VIOLENCE PREVENTION OFFICE!!! No, seriously. That's not satire. That actually happened today.
A fake account to make fun of Rep. Van Orden’s daughter Sydney, who passed away several years ago.
The left is vile. But no one will call for denunciations for this behavior of one of their people as would happen if this was a page trolling, say, Pocan.

Yesterday, I joined 17 of my fellow veteran members-elect to highlight the national security issues presented by the delay to elect @GOPLeader as Speaker.
This isn't about any one person, this is about America. And this obstruction has become detrimental to our nation.
