Elon Musk has plans for Wisconsin, and they start with electing his bag man, Brad Schimel, to our highest court. Musk wants to ensure he can prevent any check on himself and Trump from the states, and he's starting here in Wisconsin. We need to stand up to Musk, together. buff.ly/3YRqw0V

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

In 2019, a domestic abuser pressed a gun into a woman's neck and threatened to shoot her if she called the police. He caught a break and ended up in Brad Schimel’s courtroom, who gave him a light sentence. Then he reoffended with more abuse charges. Brad Schimel is too dangerous.
