Yesterday, @JoeBiden endorsed @judgekarofsky!
"The stakes are too high for Wisconsin workers and families to have Scott Walker and Donald Trump’s handpicked choice on the bench for the next decade. I’m proud to endorse Judge Jill Karofsky for Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
Jill Karofsky has now been endorsed by Biden, Bernie, Pete, Warren, Castro — and many other leaders who believe that courts should deliver equal justice, not GOP and special interest giveaways

Yesterday, Trump was asked about the call to delay the Wisconsin election, and said it was probably a response to his tweet re-endorsing Dan Kelly. Which is totally false. But shows that Trump is literally thinking about how to help Kelly when he should be dealing with COVID-19.

BREAKING: @GovEvers issues executive order postponing in-person voting & deadline to receive mail-in ballots to June 9.

washingtonpost.com/politics/wisco…
You wouldn't hold an election on the tarmac during Pearl Harbor, and we shouldn't send people out to vote in person in the middle of a lethal pandemic. Image
The Governor called on the legislature to move the election. They refused to act. Today, he exercised his emergency powers to delay it. @sbauerAP reports that the GOP is already moving to get the state Supreme Court to strike down his order.

UPDATE: Wisconsin GOP is trying every trick in the book to keep people from voting, taking their suppression rampage all the way to SCOTUS—but our tireless organizing won't allow their scheme to work.

Donate to our efforts and make sure every vote counts: wisdems.org/forward
Whether or not you have the capacity to donate right now—so many folks are in free fall—if you have some time, please help us call Wisconsinites and walk them through how to get their absentee ballots witnessed & in the mail during social distancing. Call: wisdems.org/2020
Read this @nytimes editorial: "You shouldn't have to risk your life to vote."

"This is insane, and utterly unnecessary."

"why not just push back the election?... The answer can only be that Republican legislators don’t want people to vote."

WI elections commissioners to GOP legislators: "Your failure to address... the safety of all of Wisconsin’s residents during yesterday’s special session is unconscionable and is an abdication of your constitutional responsibilities as our leaders" >> READ:

"100+ municipalities will not have enough poll workers to open a single voting location, some voters may not receive their mail-in ballots in time, & those who do vote in person will be doing so at a time when public health officials have warned all Americans to stay home."
"Rather than having the [National] Guard work to prepare for the surge of COVID-19 cases and deaths that we sadly know are coming, we are instead sending them around the state to be poll workers"

#JoeBiden was for NAFTA just like Hillary Clinton. #BernieSanders was against it. THREAD:
Among other issues, Joe's vote and support of NAFTA is a liability in the rust belt come November.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Becuase NAFTA encourages companies to outsource production to low-wage countries, it helped businesses at the expense of workers in the United States. It also did not provide enough protection against the exploitation of workers and the environment.

.#Wisconsin story. The #Foxconn boondoggle, by @AustinCarr. I fear @GovEvers & his successors will be doing damage control on this Scott Walker legacy for many years to come.
More on the #Foxconn boondoggle -- I don't disagree with anything @SykesCharlie says here. We should be clear, though, that although Trump does a cameo at the end of this story, this massive corporate welfare project was a Scott Walker production.
Right from the start, Walker as governor took the view that state government was there to serve business: to cut their taxes, make labor and environmental regulations easy to live with (or dodge), and ladle out incentives with a smile in exchange for the promise of jobs.

.#Wisconsin story. Scott Walker and Tony Evers facing off in #wigovdebate
Walker and Evers sparring over who plagiarized what. Walker, who introduced the subject, got off it quickly. Gets in a Tommy Thompson (popular former WI governor, 1987-2001) reference, and adds more in the next segment.
Tony Evers pledges $1.4 billion in new schools funding, including $600 million for students with disabilities. This sounds like a lot. #wigovdebate
