Two years ago, Milwaukee's Common Council voted to give themselves 15% raises.
This year, they're only giving themselves 8% raises. $17,000 in raises over 2 years.
Nice work if you can get it.

UW Madison is complaining about guaranteed admission to the top 5% of High School Student in Wisconsin.
What they don't mention is that they created this mess by NOT admitting the top WI students.

That’s against the law. People go to jail for this.
EXCLUSIVE: Democrat Senate candidate Trevor Jung, the City of Racine's transportation director, has spent a full year campaigning on public time in what is likely a serious violation of criminal law. heartlandpost.com/exclusive-…

Every @WISenateDems vetoed against a bill that would have stated that the removal of a ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion.
Since Roe was overturned, deaths from ectopic pregnancies have nearly doubled — more so in states with abortion bans.
Extreme restrictions and abortion bans take life-saving healthcare options away from women across Wisconsin. I applaud Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s lawsuit to fight these restrictions and as governor, I will work to protect these reproductive freedoms for Wisconsinites.

Filing the Open Records Request as I post!
Are UW-Madison’s taxpayer-funded resources being used to advocate for the release of a double murderer? This 22 page letter on UW letterhead explicitly asks Evers to free incarcerated killer Daniel Cerney. His is a complex case. The victims’ family wants him released. But the the Monroe DA doesn’t.
He said that Cerney and his co actor “needlessly and ruthlessly ended the lives of two genuinely decent and good people, one of which was an 85 year old grandmother…The facts of Mr. Cerney’s crimes are particularly egregious, heinous and ruthless.” Both victims were shot. Cerney was 16.
My question is - what UW resources are paying for this? Is that appropriate if they are?

I’ve seen @ellenschutt take the tough votes to always put constituents first.
She was a great state representative and will be a state senator who fights for what is right, not what is popular.
Vote Ellen Schutt.
Ellen Schutt is a strong pro-freedom voice for State Senate District 11.
She stands for education freedom, small businesses, and responsible fiscal policy for Wisconsin.
💪 Let’s send her back to Madison to fight for Wisconsin families.

Here is a list of Democrats who refused to fund Wisconsin Public Schools two months ago.
Every. Single. One. voted against $700 million in funding public schools.
Yet another year of Republicans failing Wisconsin Public Schools.
@WisSenGOP is underfunding our schools and your property taxes are going up.

.@POTUS at Mount Rushmore:
On this anniversary, we must remember that American liberty has not endured for 250 years merely because of words on paper; liberty has prevailed here because of the culture and character of the people who declared it, defended it, and preserved it.
The identity of a nation is the destiny of a nation — and America has a destiny like no other because we are a people like no other.
Here, the Old World sent its bravest, boldest, and most resilient — its fiercest, most faithful, and freedom-loving. These men and women brought values, traditions, and customs transmitted over centuries in Britain, and stretching back even further to Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. The United States of America is where the greatest civilization in human history became greater than ever before.
On the granite hills and rugged plains of this wide-open continent, they forged a uniquely American character, and a new breed of citizen. Americans did not bow before a King or Government, but kneeled only before Almighty God.
These were the people who founded our Republic. These were the patriots that fought for independence. This was the spirit that demanded freedom. And this was the culture that built America, and carved its heroes into Mount Rushmore.
For generations, it was understood that the core patriotic duty of every American was to pass this culture on to our children — and preserve the nation for centuries to come.
But in recent years, there has been an undeniable attempt to change this exceptional Character, to beat the American Spirit out of us, alienate us from our history, and make it impossible to even answer the question, 'what does it mean to be an American?”
As we march into our 250th year, we must never forget, there is no American Freedom without American culture — and there is no American founding without the American people.
Many nations have paper constitutions and legal systems, but the citizens live in fear and squalor. A constitution is only as strong as the people and the culture responsible for upholding it.
But as long as we remember who we are, the United States of America will forever be the land of free men and women — and we will never, ever fail. 🇺🇸

In one tweet, WI Senate Dems just promised to spend and raise $1 billion of your tax dollars.
Van’s legacy will be ending Childcare Counts, ending Knowles-Nelson, voting against Badgercare expansion, and then watching @TrevorJungforWI win his seat.. must be tough.
