On Tue, President Biden laid it out: “We are facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.” Watch his speech! But I want to add one note: the GOP’s plan to rig or steal the 2024 presidential election has a math problem.
The Republican strategy is simple: amp up the Big Lie—denial that Trump lost—and take away voter freedoms to help the GOP win the White House in 2024 and, if they don’t win, to overturn the results. It’s hideous. But it’s got a hole in it… so far.
For the GOP’s plan to work, they would either have to pass bad laws nationally (which they can’t do under Biden) or in enough states to win the Electoral College. But they can only pass them in states where the GOP has trifecta control of state gov't. There are 23 such states.

~{ Some personal news }~

Starting today, in addition to tweeting about politics, I will occasionally be posting about the newest member of the Wikler household: Pumpkin.
She’s 10 weeks old, born May 3. Sweetest and most chill furball you’ve ever met. She’s been with us less than 24 hours, so still learn about her faves, but belly rubs are clearly a hit.
Bernese! Here she is for scale with her dad Quentin (and me, my fam, and the breeder Amy, when we picked her up last night)

Here in La Crosse, WI, @RepRonKind opens up the program to welcome @JoeBiden to the Badger State with an impassioned argument for investing in infrastructure
Our great Senator @tammybaldwin describes how @JoeBiden has lived out his promise to #BuildBackBetter every day in office
Wisconsin’s @GovEvers tells how he ran on “fixing the darn roads,” and then got to work doing exactly that. He now has a partner in the White House who gets it!

DEADLINE: Democracy is under attack—and Wisconsin is the key. We’ve got to beat Ron Johnson AND reelect @GovEvers. @WisDems are ratcheting up organizing, but need 104 more monthly donors by midnight Wed to hit our end-of-quarter target. Can you sign up? secure.actblue.com/donate/defend-…
Plan A is to defend democracy through federal law. But to do that, as we saw from last week’s GOP filibuster of the #ForthePeople Act, we need to protect & expand the Dem Senate majority—and the most vulnerable incumbent in the Senate is WI's Ron Johnson. washingtonpost.com/politics/senat…
There are already six Dems running against Johnson. A very strong field—but the Democratic Senate primary isn’t until *Aug 9, 2022.* Until then, it’s up to the @WisDems to build the statewide campaign operation needed to defeat Ron Johnson.

Ron Johnson’s big opening section of WISGOP convention is complaining about his opposition to adding a day off for Juneteenth, then coming to Milwaukee’s 50th annual Juneteenth celebration—and getting booed.
Johnson angry that national press reported on him getting booed rather than the earlier interaction in which someone selling him cake was friendly to her customer. Clear instance of media bias.
Johnson’s beef with the insurrection was that it disrupted a “very important debate about unelected judges usurping the duty of state legislatures” in the 2020 election (v slight paraphrase, worth checking the tape on wiseye.org)
