This past November, Milwaukee had the highest voter turnout of the 50 largest cities in the U.S. Wisconsin had the highest turnout of any state. It didn’t happen by accident: Democrats organize and invest year-round in Wisconsin– suburban, rural, and urban. What we’re doing in Wisconsin is working.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

And just like that, the first anti LGBTQ bill in nearly 3 decades was signed by Biden and passed by a Democratic senate. It included a ban on gender affirming care for trans children of military families. So much for having our back, you god damn liar. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Statutory rape and 20 instances of paying for sex, which Gaetz has vehemently denied. What was Gaetz thinking putting himself up for AJ? And for Trump “vetting“ team, malpractice if they didn’t know; fraud on Senate, country if they did know and tried to slide him through with no investigation

One group of people who aren’t buying the “think of his family” moral scolding about not feeling much compassion in response to the assassination of the health insurance CEO are families of loved ones who’ve suffered under the the system he represents. This woman has a terminally ill four year old:

I think being missed in all the shock at the reaction to the CEO murder is, sure it's partly a reaction to our inhumane health insurance situation, but I think it's also in the context of the details coming out about how billionaires just bought an election through well financed mendacity.

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report. Remember this the next time they pretend to care about protecting minors.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

The same people who DEMANDED to see Kamala Harris’s McDonald’s paystub and Barack Obama’s birth certificate are HIDING evidence of Matt Gaetz’s sex crimes.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

It's trans day of remembrance where we remember all of our siblings we've lost this year to violence and hate. We know we've lost at least 350 trans and nonbinary people have been murdered in the last year. We honor the dead and fight like hell for the living.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

So fucking aggravating that Trump can say and do whatever awful shit he wants about anyone and the media ignores it, but a Democrat has to always pretend that Republicans are perfect lovely people. We have to have excellent manners while they spit in our face. Sickening.
