In political warfare, you go for the jugular or you lose. Great ad.

An “administrative warrant” is how ICE unlawfully detained 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.
We must be strong against ICE’s lawless impunity, and restore the Constitutional rule of law.
As Governor I’ll require a judicial warrant to detain anyone in a Wisconsin jail.

Going after a strong progressive Latino leader the same day that you vote for a slush fund for Republicans involved in January 6 does not scream democratic values.
@RepChuyGarcia has been an unwavering fighter for our democracy and our communities. It is disappointing that someone willing to compromise working families’ healthcare would use this moment for a cheap political stunt aimed at distracting people from an indefensible vote on tonight's CR.
Perez: Whereas Rep. Chuy Garcia's actions are beneath the dignity of his office and incompatible with the spirit of the constitution. Now therefore, be it resolved that the house of representatives disapproves of the behavior of the representative from Illinois…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Representative García choose to withdraw from reelection after previously filing to run, leaving only his long-time chief of staff as the only eligible Democrat running for the seat in the district. This effectively denied an open primary process to the voters of his district.

I’m extremely disappointed by @RepMGP lack of decorum tonight. What should’ve been a night of unity turned into a political stunt.
I had my mic cut defending @RepChuyGarcia — my brother in this fight, a man who’s dedicated his life to uplifting working people and leading with heart and integrity.
Some people need to learn how to stay in their lane.

I’ve been blessed to serve a community that gave me everything. Now I need to step back for my family. To everyone who has supported me, gracias de todo corazón.

I'm Missy Hughes, and I'm running for Governor of Wisconsin!
I’ve spent my career helping grow our economy: helping farmers stay on their land, creating thousands of good-paying jobs, and supporting over 9,500 small businesses across every county in our state.

I’m Anthony Driver Jr. I’m running for Congress because Illinois’ 7th District needs a voice who knows you don’t fix a broken system by polishing it, you rebuild it from the ground up.
We need leadership that acts boldly and gets results. Change won’t come unless we make it.

In 1873, Justice Edward Ryan, chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, addressed the graduating class of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and asked: Which shall rule—wealth or man?
The day has come—and on Tuesday, Wisconsinites will answer that question. 🧵
ALT "The enterprises of the country are aggregating vast corporate combinations of unexampled capital, boldly marching, not for economic conquests only, but for political power. The question will arise, and arise in your day, though perhaps not fully in mine: Which shall rule -- wealth or man; which shall lead -- money or intellect; who shall fill public stations -- educated and patriotic free men, or the feudal serfs of corporate capital?"

Schimel has already humiliated himself in this campaign. The Kneepad Brad ad makes sure that voters know about it.
When voters see this, they don’t want Schimel on the court.
Chip in so we can dial it up:

It is the honor of a lifetime to receive Speaker Emerita Pelosi’s endorsement for a DNC Chair campaign that is surging at this decisive moment.
Together we will unite our party, fight through this moment of crisis, and win victories that make a difference in people’s lives.
ALT Speaker Pelosi endorses Ben with the following statement: “For several years, I have had the honor and success to work with Ben Wikler from his thousands of events to save our health care at MoveOn to his winning tough elections in Wisconsin including Justice Janet Protasiewicz and Senator Tammy Baldwin. As a former State Chair and longtime DNC member, I have enormous respect for the DNC and the grassroots activism it engenders. It is with great confidence that I endorse Ben Wikler for Chair as the candidate best suited to lead us to a stronger DNC and many Democratic victories.”
