In Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District—the seat vacated by Sean Duffy—the GOP candidate is now official: Toxic Tom Tiffany, who sides with corporate polluters over communities and people every chance he gets. Learn more about him at toxictomtiffany.com.
The Koch network has wasted no time in announcing how excited they are to pour dark money into Toxic Tom Tiffany's race. It's their way of saying "thanks in advance" for votes in Congress that help big polluters and hurt Wisconsinites.

Toxic Tom Tiffany has well-established record of siding with those who cut the biggest checks, regardless of how many people are hurt by their products and practices. Here's a note from his 2016 opponent—showing how Tom was caught "lead handed" helping lead paint interests.
The Northwoods of Wisconsin are some of the most beautiful areas on earth. Earth Day itself was born in the 7th Congressional District. If you want someone who believes in taking care of the planet, rather than despoiling it, chip in now to @TriciaforWI:

Trump DOJ email to immigration court judges posting a CDC flyer about coronavirus: "Per our leadership, the CDC flyer is not authorized for posting in the immigration courts. If you see one (attached), please remove it."

Later in day, after public outcry & press attention:

A Justice Department spokesman later told CNN, "The sign should not have been taken down. The matter is being rectified."

This should *not* have required pressure to achieve.

Donald Trump, Jr is in Wisconsin tonight to speak at a GOP fundraising dinner. Why? Because he's terrified: If Donald Trump loses Wisconsin, he loses the election.

Can we raise more $ online for @WisDems than the GOP raises at the dinner? Help out & RT! wisdems.org/donate
Trump Jr won't be alone in Wisconsin tonight: also invited are Ron Johnson (aka @TheWorstSenator), two GOP Congressmen, and supposedly nonpartisan right-wing WI Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly. Let's help all of them lose their next elections!

As a Daily Caller article about Trump Jr's visit to WI noted (btw: how did this merit a national story in Feb?), "The president won the state of Wisconsin by less than 1% in 2016, and the state is expected to be crucial once again in November." Yep!

Public service announcement: I will be taking advantage of the fact that America's Democrats are obsessively refreshing Twitter tonight to call attention to Wisconsin's hugely important & under-the-radar state Supreme Court 35 days from now. Enjoy!
This guy, Dan Kelly, was appointed by Scott Walker to WI's Supreme Court. Last summer, he tweeted this photo from a gun range. Last week, a mass shooter killed 5 in Milwaukee. The next day, Kelly went back to the same firing range for a fundraiser. In 35 days, we can defeat him.
Wisconsin progressives are all-in for Judge Jill Karofsky for WI Supreme Court. Before becoming a judge, @judgekarofsky specialized in the prosecution of domestic violence cases. She's championed civil rights, women's rights, and equal justice for all. We need her on the court.

The biggest problem for #GOP in #AZ is among self-identified Moderates/Leaners & Hispanic/Latinos. Ideas like this from a long-shot GOP candidate saying we annex AZ’s largest trading partner all the while wanting to still build the wall is not helping.
realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/…
Plus, I literally heard this same candidate address the crowd at an event alleging the Democrats STOLE the election from the GOP in the ‘18 #AZSEN race. His evidence was that Ducey won by a huge margin against Garcia although McSally lost by a much closer margin... Part 1/3
Then proceeded to say that the primary reason he is challenging McSally is bc she “raised the white flag” when conceding the election to Sinema. He blamed the electoral loss to massive voter fraud by recently elected Democratic Maricopa County Recorder @Adrian_Fontes ..
Part 2/3

.#Wisconsin story. Good rundown by @St_Verburg of ideas for addressing water pollution from large farms. Now that @GovEvers has replaced Scott Walker, who did not care about the environment, some of them are even coming from Republicans in the Legislature.
...And this is why such ideas are needed. Every year around this time you can drive through the farm country around Madison and see rivers of manure, spread over frozen ground and carried with snowmelt into locals streams & lakes.
This winter, which has had heavy snowfall, will see heavy farm runoff. This is just farmers exporting the pollution their operations generate for other people to deal with. Via @yaharaproject — a documentary about the watershed around Madison.

Thread. #Wisconsin story via @jessieopie about aftermath of a Republican campaign gimmick. GOP legislators, supporting a lawsuit that would declare all of Obamacare unconstitutional, pledged state legislation protecting people w/pre-existing conditions if legal gambit failed.
They are now seeking to negotiate state legislation with new Democratic @GovEvers, whose response has been to suggest a bill that would do everything Obamacare does in Wisconsin if Republicans’ lawsuit to repeal Obamacare nationally succeeds.
Republicans in the legislature are outraged. They want to save their seats, not Obamacare. Why can’t @GovEvers see that and just, you know, work with them? This is headed for a bill Republicans will pass, Democrats will say (accurately) is meaningless, and Evers will veto.

It is imperative we expose the ongoing #GOP narrative that uses Leader Nancy Pelosi as a lightening rod for misogynistic, ageist and partisan attacks and what motives and attitudes lie behind it. /1 #IStandWithNancy #GOPLies #DemocraticPrincipledLeadership
In order to get at that truth, it is vital for voters to meet Nancy Pelosi, understand her background, accomplishments and values as well as her vital importance to the Party of the People./2
Nancy Pelosi has consistently put her constituents first and foremost and as Speaker and Minority Leader she has served all Americans with the same commitment and intensity./3 #PrincipledDemocraticLeadership #IStandWithNancy
