🚨 ALERT: The Wisconsin GOP is trying to jam through ANOTHER power grab—this time using a Dem legislator's request for disability accommodations to sneak it through. It’s a repugnant low for a party that stops at nothing to override the will of voters. wpr.org/republicans-pr…
Background: For months, the WI GOP refused the entirely reasonable request of @Rep_Jimmy, who is paralyzed from the chest down, to be able to call in to Assembly committee hearings.

@Rep_Jimmy WI GOP speaker Robin Vos, using a term that it's hard to imagine wasn't chosen specifically to cause offense, even accused Rep. Anderson, who uses a wheelchair, of "political grandstanding."

@Rep_Jimmy Now, facing a lawsuit threat, Wisconsin Republicans are suddenly changing their tune about the request for disability accommodation—but they've loaded their bill up with power grabs that amount to poison pills. Putrescent.

@Rep_Jimmy Speak up. Call the WI legislative hotline at 1-800-362-9472. Or text “state” to 50409—or DM “state” to @resistbot—to send a written message. Don't let the WI GOP think they can get away with this.
