The future of Wisconsin will be shaped by the Supreme Court election coming up this April 2. There’s one judge in the race who would approach cases fairly: @JudgeNeubauer. This is her flyer. (Thread.)
There’s another judge in the race whose main career experience is spending five years as Scott Walker’s general counsel. Here’s his flyer. Same words: “Fair. Impartial.” But check the upper right corner: “Paid for by Americans for Prosperity.” Yep, that’s the Koch operation.
Lisa Neubauer has the endorsement of 340 judged and former judges. Support from Dems, Republicans, and independents. 98% of judges who’ve endorsed in this race are backing her. Brian Hagedorn doesn’t want you to know that. And he doesn’t want you to know whose interests he reps.

If you don't feel like going to bed, pour yourself a drink and read Michael Cohen's twenty-page testimony right here.

Perhaps the most hilarious of the documents that Michael Cohen intends to reveal tomorrow:
One thing I've learned tonight: Michael Cohen's middle name is "Dean." Which is clearly an homage to @JohnWDean, planned by his parents in 1966 based on a premonition about the role John Dean would play in Nixon's downfall seven years later. Right?

Happy birthday to @SheliaStubbs4WI, my positivity-radiating, justice-championing, change-making State Rep!
If you want to wish Shelia a happy birthday, but can’t make it to the party happening right now, good news: this ActBlue link works perfectly:
For Black History Month, my State Rep @RepStubbs fought to honor a Wisconsinite who indisputably made history: Colin Kaepernick. WI GOP refused. But she’s also a County Rep—so she got Dane County to honor Kaep instead. madison.com/wsj/news/local…

Thread on local #racist violence & what we do now:
Recently a white male school teacher abused an 11 year old black girl student, ripping out her braids. This occurred in #MadisonWI.

channel3000.com/news/madison-t…
I am out of town & unable to attend the community meeting about it today, but the anti-black violence & hatred in Madison is increasingly palpable to me, as someone who has lived there less than 2 years.
@AboutFreedomInc has been fighting to get cops out of schools for over a year now. Their youth squad attends every school board meeting to share stories & ask @MMSDschools to invest in youth of color & youth with disabilities not police.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.
