ICYMI: Tom Tiffany deleted a bunch of stuff off his campaign site to try and seem less extreme. We think the people of Wisconsin deserve to see what he thought made him look too extreme to be governor. Take a look:

NO KINGS Dodgeville · Mobilize
**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. _A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events._

Rep. Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 197 times about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk, many of which are personal attacks, invitations for civil war, and calls for violence. He is going completely unchecked by his own party as he pours gasoline on an open flame.

With just the amount of money the top 1% receive in tax cuts next year under the Republican tax scheme, you could buy every single Major League Baseball team, pay the annual salaries of every player in the 4 major U.S. pro sports leagues, and still have $19 billion left over.

Wisconsin SCOWIS candidate Brad Schimel was paid to speak at an anti LGBTQ, hate group conference. He said it was none of the public’s business. He said he had never gone to a conference where there was so much love. Schimel is a fucking bigot. I will be voting for Susan Crawford. 🤘
