Former Speaker Ryan criticizes vote to oust McCarthy:
“What happened in the house was a total disgrace. It was 4% of the Republican conference led by one unprincipled demagogue, shutting down the house and removing a speaker for frankly doing his job.” https://t.co/CUlGeSmXBh

High school seniors (and juniors, sophomores & freshmen too!) and their families are invited to learn more about HBCUs at this free event on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Vincent High School. The opportunities await! @SenTaylor @RepMyers

Flikshop has connected more than 170,000 families, and some employers are now using the app to inform inmates of potential opportunities upon release. An innovation as such may help lower recidivism after incarceration. https://t.co/VoNRdx00mY

Evers' maps will increase the number of Assembly districts with a majority of black voters from six to seven. Evers deemed this vital to comply with the federal Voting Rights Act, enacted to ensure racial minorities can elect candidates of their choice.

Although the mask mandate has ended in the city of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public School staff and students are still required to wear masks. Please review the article for protocol in varying school districts in the Milwaukee area.

Today the mask mandate expires in Milwaukee as gating metrics used to determine the severity of the virus reveal record low positive cases since July 2021.

We must narrow health disparities in Milwaukee county and throughout our state. Please see @MKEhealth for daily updates on free COVID vaccinations and boosters at varying locations in Milwaukee.

#Vaccination

[Ben Weston @BenWWeston]

#Milwaukee County-- #inequity in vaccination are occurring across all ages, including our children.

💉#Vaccination prevents infection, severe disease, hospitalization and death-- and it decreases risk of transmission.

🌄Our path forward is vaccination of ALL age groups.

[Wisconsin Senate Democrats @WISenateDems]

For years, Republicans have silenced Black voices when it comes to #BlackHistoryMonth.

Instead of letting Black members of the Senate highlight Black historical figures, artists, and heroes; Senate Republicans passed a watered-down resolution instead. This is shameful.

[Sen. Lena C. Taylor @SenTaylor]

Milwaukee County falls below the 5% positivity threshold since the peak of the Omicron variant, in late 2021.
Please continue to practice preventive measures moving forward. Together we can.

📉UPDATE: #Milwaukee County-- we have dropped into the green below the 5% positivity threshold for #Covid_19

👍Great work-- let's keep cautious and drive down disease burden.

Better days coming. 🙂

Half of unemployed U.S. men have a criminal conviction, making it hard to secure work. Consequently, this perpetrates a cycle of crime, as people act against the law for survival. We must give people real “second chances”, and that begins with our laws. https://t.co/Sn5NgbPk2t

Gov. Evers announces $25.5 million in grants for Milwaukee. Many buildings and centers in MKE are constructed from low-income property tax. State funding is needed to close financial gaps, to allow these communities the opportunity to thrive. https://t.co/YiSh7H7JIq

[Sen. Lena C. Taylor @SenTaylor]

Milwaukee Public Schools officials, who weren’t consulted in the making of the bill, have strongly opposed the district’s dissolution, warning it would undercut its strongest programs and community partnerships.
