I’m honestly shocked. Look at this video from @MollyBeck of preparation for Trump’s Tulsa-style in-person rally in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in one hour. @JoeBiden takes COVID seriously. Trump doesn’t. Simple as that. Help us beat Trump: wisdems.org/donate
With the Biden campaign and convention, the medium is the message. We’re virtual precisely because we know how much suffering this pandemic is causing. We’re going to get it under control. Meanwhile, as deaths rise, Trump thinks it’s a joke. And Trump’s campaign shows it.
Leaders understand that people are watching what they do. @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris are going the extra mile. Trump is waltzing around the country like there’s no pandemic—in effect telling people that if they ignore the virus, it’ll go away.
Amid the cascading crises of this moment—the lethal pandemic, the crushing economic freeze, the searing brutality of racism and racial disparities, the chaos of schools, and on and on—Trump is making things worse. He's pouring gasoline on the fire. In Wisconsin. Today.
More than 1000 Wisconsinites have died of COVID-19. More than 66,000 have tested positive. Every life lost is a preventable tragedy. Read this story.

The state GOP sued to end our #SaferAtHome order. An order necessitated by the failure of Donald Trump.

We’re going to defeat Trump. We’re going to do it by living out our values. We’re going to do it by gathering virtually, and lifting every voice, and organizing. That’s what we’re doing with this #DemConvention. Chip in to help us do it: wisdems.org/donate
Today, we launched Campaign Academy 2020, a free virtual training in which thousands of people are learning essential, powerful campaign and organizing skills that will empower them to help end the Trump era and build back better. wisdems.org/demconvention
Like so much of the best work in our movement, Campaign Academy 2020 is a partnership: @WisDems, @arenasummit, @TeamJoe, and @DemConvention. Today’s trainings covered campaign essentials—data; diversity, equity, and inclusion; scripts & tactics. Image
This massive training—and the many virtual caucus meetings, councils, state receptions, & other events before the virtual prime-time lineup—all reflect our party’s core values in both content & format. And Trump’s ego-gratification photo-op reflects his.
This week, hear the message from @JoeBiden, @KamalaHarris, and the Democratic Party. Let yourself be inspired. And then, this weekend, pour that energy into organizing. We’ll be calling voters all over Wisconsin. Sign up here: mobilize.us/wi2020victory/…
Trump's Wisconsin speech is underway. He's bragging about manufacturing doing well. Huh? Try explaining that to the 900 workers who just lost their jobs when the paper mill in Wisconsin Rapids shut down. madison.com/wsj/business/o…
"This is a big group of people. This is like a rally! ... we're not supposed to have a rally. I hereby grant you a pardon."

Not sure that's how coronavirus prevention works.

Ah, great idea, Trump. Hand the mic over to Scott Walker, whom Wisconsin voters rejected two years ago and who fled to the DC suburbs.
