⬅️ What the Republican-led state legislature was working on today
➡️ What they’re ignoring

“Wisconsin has the largest rainy day fund in the history of our state.”
They’re really doing this?? They’re really making a thing out of the “rainy day fund” during the biggest storm many of us have ever seen? After 293 days of inaction? Really???
Republican co-chairs of the Legislature's budget committee ask @GovEvers not to deliver a 2-year spending plan like the one he offered in 2019, noting that it's Groundhog Day and that "reminds us that we can impact the future if we pay attention to the details of life."

surround yourself with happy people today. stay away from the "but we have to..." people.
"but we have to..." will still be there tomorrow.
GOP lawmakers calling for "unity" are like surgeons sending their patients to the recovery room without stitching them up first.
We must hold those responsible for the violence accountable — that is step 1.
I distinctly remember Repubs wanting Dems to unify the country & to avoid being divisive. Yet, it is them that continues the violent rhetoric... The rhetoric of insurection.

I wrote and submitted a letter to my local paper, sharing my disappointment in my Congressional rep, @FitzgeraldForWI. After reading today that he would have also voted to object to Wisconsin's electoral votes, I gave it a quick update and wanted to share more broadly:

We told you @FitzgeraldForWI was bad for #WI05.
But we wouldn't have guessed he would side with insurrectionists.
You've brought shame on your office and the people you represent.
Resign. #ResignFitz

In all of 2019, 183 people died of the flu in Wisconsin.
So far in 2020, 3,738 people have died of coronavirus in Wisconsin.
Beyond ridiculous that someone with this platform and this much power this far into the pandemic would make such a comparison.
If I was a more cynical person, I would theorize that the state's legislative leadership has been sitting on its hands since April so they would have a "good reason" to do some shit like this. Thousands dead, but hey... no tax increases. 🙄
So maybe we should freeze local government spending so property taxes wouldn't go up. That's one of the largest drivers of increasing costs for landlords.

Gotta love the mental gymnastics of saying that votes for president shouldn’t count, but that members of the state legislature **who were elected with votes on those very same ballots** should have the power to toss it all and do whatever they want.

Speechless, in a bad way.
