This is a big win for these nurses and every patient who walks through the door at Meriter. Every worker deserves dignity and respect on the job — including a safe work environment and a fair paycheck. I’m proud these nurses fought for that and won! www.wkow.com/community/me...

Sen. Ron Johnson is claiming it's "cool to watch" video of building 7 collapse as a result of the 9/11 attacks. At least 11 people with Wisconsin ties died in these terrorist attacks, with a total of 2,977 perishing. This is part of Johnson's on going conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job.

At a hospital in Madison, nurses are on strike. From the White House, Trump is gutting workers’ rights. And in Congress, Republicans are plotting mammoth cuts to health care. These fights are interlinked. 🧵

Remember when Elon Musk was threatening to fund primary challenges to anyone who got in Trump’s way? After Susan Crawford beat his dude in the WI Supreme Court race, Musk’s now saying he’s “done enough” political spending. Last night, I joined @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com to talk about it.
