#IDontWantToOverreactBUT steady saying that the @Eagles have the meanest fans in the league, but @nyknicks fans are out here cyberbullying Elmo while in the NBA Finals. They should be given that title at this point.

This is so funny, but shout out to Illinois Democrats for not bending the knee to billionaires trying to subsidize their sports team stadiums.

Why does it seem that the city, along with all these parking garages and lots in Milwaukee, just keeps raising parking prices? $8 for 30 minutes in a garage is insane.

Again Republicans are only talking to each other, with no effort to negotiate or win Democratic votes.

Yesterday, @SenatorTestin told me he'd spoken with @SenatorDevin about taking another shot at the failed $1.8 billion surplus package.
Today, LeMahieu said the Senate would come in if two more votes emerge for the deal.
See yesterday's story:

The Patriots’ disrespect is wild. I swear they stirred up drama just to make AJ Brown want out. Then they low-ball us AND NOW want a physical? He’s a WR1, one of the league’s best. Y’all are worse than fantasy managers.
Jun 1
We've agreed to trade WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, pending a physical.

Wisconsin spends over $4B running its criminal justice system. Investing in crime prevention will save more money in the long run. Why is the goal of preventing crime and keeping us safe so controversial?

Democratic candidate for governor Francesca Hong told potential voters in recent weeks she ideally wants a world without prisons.
The comment was made as she faces scrutiny for her support of defunding and eliminating police departments.

Funny how Tom Tiffany now pushes teacher raises, but in 2011 he voted to kill their bargaining rights. How can we trust him to deliver the raises teachers deserve?
May 26
Tiffany went on to say school funding, specifically raises for teachers, is a priority.
If he wants to use the full $2.5B surplus on tax relief, where is the school money coming from?
"Vote for me in November, and we will make sure you get more money in 2027"

Tom Tiffany and this guy made a loophole letting big corporations dodge Wisconsin taxes. Now we pay $500M yearly, so the ultra-rich skip paying their fair share.
May 27
Let’s be clear: There’s a surplus in WI because the government took too much of your money.
Tom Tiffany wants it all to go back to the hard-working taxpayers.
The ultra radicals want to spend it & raise taxes on top of it to spend even more. Don’t let them get away with it.

Gov Candidate Tom Tiffany (R) says “DEI must DIE” after a Black Student Union forms. Lt Gov candidate Will Martin says BSUs “are not open to all.” He knows that’s BS—he’ll say anything to snag the GOP nomination & get elected.

We hold Democrats to sky-high standards while the bar is in hell for Republicans. Calling Dems weak, then insisting they cave for short-term help and long-term consequences is exhausting. If you think “both sides” are the problem, hold BOTH to the same standard.

To all the Wisconsin residents who bash on Milwaukee and Madison.
Milwaukee gives the rest of the state $2.3 billion.
Madison gets back 18 cents for every dollar we give the state.
These 2 cities support the state.
Without these 2 cities, there is no Wisconsin.

Wow so Milwaukee county gives $2.4 billion to the state and we don’t even get $100 million in return…..

I agree now seems like a pretty good time to remind everyone that with @DavidCCrowley as Milwaukee County Executive we have always had a surplus.
Yes Tom that means he’s more qualified than you’ll ever be to be Governor.
May 21
Now seems like a pretty good time to remind everyone that @DavidCCrowley just hired the Milwaukee Public Schools budget leader to run Milwaukee County’s budget office.
This is the same MPS budget leader who oversaw the district going $46 million over budget last school year.

Patiently waiting for these “Tax Payer Associations” to sue the Trump Admin over his billion dollar settlement for his Jan 6 friends. If forgiving student loans was so bad to them, surely this should be too…..

Black Student Unions began in the 1960s to build community, honor our history, and fight racism—helping shape the Civil Rights Movement. For Rep. Tom Tiffany to call them “un-American” and for them to “DIE” shows disregard for Black people, our history, and our country’s progress

Funny how he is running on eliminating government waste, but continuously pushes us to spend millions of taxpayer dollars auditing over a conspiracy theory that continues to be proven false.

NEW: GOP candidate for governor Tom Tiffany on Monday would not say whether Joe Biden won Wisconsin's 2020 election fairly. He said FBI agents should continue to question election officials over the 2020 election and bring charges if FBI deems it necessary. jsonline.com/story/news/poli… via @hopekarnopp and me

Republicans have controlled Congress most of the last 30 years, yet keep claiming elections are rigged—and always push to change the rules.
They clearly are the masters of gaslighting America.

**Republicans controlled the State Legislature since 2011”
