SO excited about this!
Lee Snodgress - @SnodgrassforWI, right in photo - ran for Second Vice Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin on a ticket with me and Felesia Martin, and won. Now she’s running for State Assembly!
She’s currently the only candidate in the race, so I can share how great she is without being non-neutral in a primary. How great? Extremely great.

If the GOP flips 3 seats in each chamber of the Wisconsin state legislature, they'll get veto-override majorities and can lock in gerrymandered maps for another decade—until 2032. Don't let them flip this seat. Donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/snodgra…
Why is the 57th Assembly District seat open? Because of another very exciting piece of news: @AmandaStuck8 is leaving to run for Congress against GOP Rep. Mike Gallagher! Read more about her here: amandastuck.com

Amanda's a powerhouse. Read more and make some plans to knock doors in Wisconsin's 8th Congressional district!

On a gorgeous central Wisconsin morning, @GovEvers is here to kick off the Hmong Wausau Festival—a landmark event that draws nearly 10,000 visitors to Wausau for two days of celebration.
Round of applause for the Lao veterans here today, who stand in their uniforms as they are honored—“If it weren’t for you,” says MC Isaac Lee, “we wouldn’t be here in America!”
Major Cheurchai Vang, National President of Lao Veterans of America, greets and thanks the many leaders here today.

Don’t fall for the false choice between talking about race and talking about economic issues. The research shows that the most powerful message is to talk about both together. Read & share this: demos.org/research/race-…
“Wealthy elites exploit racial fears to turn working people against each other and against good government; economic pain fuels racial resentment and facilitates scapegoating, including attacks on immigrants and Muslims.”
demos.org/research/race-…
The GOP is intentionally using racism as a strategy to divide America and distract the public from Republican policies that fleece working people of all races. They want us to forget their attack’s on health care. Call it out and fight back.

Channel your heartbreak, your disgust, your fear, your fury—and your love for this country, for what this country *should* be—into ensuring that Donald Trump and the party that stands with him and chants with him are removed from power in the United States of America.
One powerful strategy for this: grassroots Democratic organizing in the tipping-point state of Wisconsin.

🏆In the astonishingly corrupt world of politics in Washington today, it is important to acknowledge people that do the right thing no matter the consequences. I think we should acknowledge the 58 members of the 115th Congress who did the right thing.

#ImpeachTrump
🥇These members of the 115th Congress didn’t think about the political ramifications, their reputations or the timing; they just voted honorably not to table the measure to impeach a prez who is clearly not abiding by the law or representing our country the way it deserves to be.
🏆Most of these members of the 115th Congress are still in Congress, but some are Governors or in new positions. One member, Louise Slaughter D-NY, sadly died in 2018. More on her later.

'The chair of the Democratic Caucus is one of those influential positions that nobody thinks twice about.'

'In 2016, Rep. Linda Sanchez got to be the vice-chair of the Democratic Caucus and her appointment was touted as an identity politics first.

To get the job, Rep. Sanchez had to beat out Rep. Barbara Lee, an admirer of murderous Communist dictator Fidel Castro.'
'And Sanchez only beat out Lee by two votes.'

Defining “Socialist” isn’t hard. You just have to read their work & listen to their leaders

And what you’ll find is frightening

Worse yet, the Dem Socialists of America (DSA) actually has a good shot of gaining power if we don’t wake up & fight back

Let’s read their plan: 1/17
.@DemSocialists want to abolish capitalism and transfer ownership of “essential” industries / related businesses to the govt or worker committees.

Why?

“Wealth is a social creation and should be controlled by society as a whole.”

(bit.ly/2vfQ7E5)
DSA’ers are squishy when defining which industries they’d nationalize. But the list touches every possible business, from food to electronics

Workers would then vote on which role is best for them, similar to the disastrous experiment at Zappos in 2016. (bit.ly/2DKlGNd)

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
