@WIExaminer @Hredman There’s money but the #wisgop does not want the #UWSystem to have it. “…Gov. Tony Evers wanted to use part of the state’s $7 billion surplus to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in additional funding for the system. Instead, in the budget Evers eventually signed into law, Republican lawmakers cut $32 million from the UW System budget. The state still has a $4 billion surplus and an additional $1.8 billion in its “rainy day fund.” 

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley throws a hissy fit. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/08/22/wisconsins-trump-enablers-are-still-undermining-democracy/ #wisconsinsupremecourt #rebeccabradley #wisgop #RobinVos #judgejanetprotasiewicz #wisconsin

@MHowell @erikalyn @MHowell plus Robert Spindell, one of the fake electors, was/is on the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC). He should have known the fake elector plot was sketchy. This great article by Henry Redman of the Wisconsin Examiner shows how closely Wisconsin GOP leadership were tied up with Trump’s fake elector scheme. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/brief/memo-shows-wisconsin-attorney-for-trump-was-one-of-first-to-know-of-fake-elector-plan/ #fakeelectors #wisgop #indictment #Troupis #Chesebro

“When Evers vetoed the tax cuts for the rich, Vos went ballistic. Lodging his objections via satellite from a luxury hotel in Brussels, Belgium, where he is enjoying a European summer, the visibly agitated speaker hurled epithets at the governor and promised veto override attempts and lawsuits.” https://captimes.com/opinion/john-nichols/opinion-robin-vos-errand-boy-for-oligarchy/article_2b337a96-5c29-5206-91b0-5648e26d2909.html #RobinVos #tonyevers #taxcuts #wisconsinbudget #wisgop

@erikalyn Gee Robin, you didn’t waste any time showing us how you really feel about minorities and affirmative action. #RobinVos #affirmativeaction #wisgop

Because Robin Vos can’t waste any time being even more of a d*ck https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2023/06/30/speaker-robin-vos-says-hell-move-to-end-minority-scholarship-program/70370988007/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&cid=twitter_js_politics #RobinVos #affirmativeaction #universityofwisconsin #wisgop #Wisconsin

@capper Great rundown of the wisgop’s latest efforts to prevent fair and free elections in Wisconsin! #wisgop #wisconsinElectionCommission #MeaganWolfe #RobinVos

Ugh—Robin Vos is at it again “we will follow the law” (implied: when it suits the wisgop) https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/04/13/deadlock-at-elections-commission-would-give-vos-lemahieu-opportunity-to-select-new-administrator/ #RobinVos #wisgop #WisconsinElectionCommission #WisconsinElections #WisconsinGerrymandering #gerrymandering

Wisconsin GOP legislators want to let #pfas polluters off the hook. https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2023/06/20/opinion-pfas-bill-would-let-polluters-off-the-hook/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #wisgop #pfas #SB312 #WisconsinPolitics

@fjwheeler @johnlray Not so sure it’s all noise. The #wisgop mindset is to keep the extreme, right wing gerrymandered stranglehold on Wisconsin. #gerrymandering #supermajority #wisconsin

Hooray for #judgejanetprotasiewicz ! Unfortunately the newly elected State Senator Knodl gives the #wisgop controlled Senate a supermajority, and way too much power including the power to impeach civil officials.

““I can do dirty tricks too,” O’Donnell said, suggesting he’d put out ads claiming that Protasiewicz opposed abortion. He added: “We can fool them. We can trick them.” In a Twitter group chat about plans for anti-Protasiewicz disinformation, later leaked online, one right-wing troll wrote, “I could doctor a couple videos or articles about how she said the N-word or something.” NYT article #wisgop dirty tricks #wisconsinsupremecourt

“With so much riding on the outcome, the contest has turned extraordinarily ugly. During the primary election that whittled the field to Kelly and Protasiewicz, the right-wing radio host Dan O’Donnell boasted of his readiness to play dirty. “I can do dirty tricks too,” O’Donnell said, suggesting he’d put out ads claiming that Protasiewicz opposed abortion” NYT article #wisgop dirty tricks #wisconsinsupremecourt
