  TAMMY BALDWIN FOR WISCONSIN JUDGE CHRIS TAYLOR FOR SUPREME  COURT! I wanted you to hear this directly from me. My former multi-millionaire opponent, Eric Hovde, is back. This time, he’s trying to boost Judge Chris Taylor’s extreme opponent in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. Wisconsinites rejected his out-of-touch priorities before because they didn’t reflect our values — fairness, freedom, and respect for our democracy. Those values haven’t changed. Now, he’s pouring his money and influence into a candidate who would bring the same extreme, out-of-touch views to our state’s highest court. We can’t let that happen.

That’s why I’m asking you to pitch in today to support Judge Chris Taylor. Your grassroots contribution helps make sure Judge Chris Taylor has the resources to stand up to these attacks, reach voters acros...

Thursday’s Great News That’s Terrible for Musk and Trump SATURDAY APRIL5 HAND'S OFF RALLIES

Thursday’s Great News That’s Terrible for Musk and Trump Onward! Scott Dworkin Apr 3 This is one of the worst weeks yet of Musk and Trump’s chaos, so I’m thrilled to share more good news with you today. I hope it shows you that there are incredible people fighting this tyranny alongside us, and gives you some relief—even if only for a moment. Susan Crawford’s decisive 10-point defeat of Musk and Trump’s candidate in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race was an enormous win for democracy. In her victory speech, Crawford said: “As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.” Fmr. President Barack Obama congratulated Crawford, and praised Wisconsinites “for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.” Fmr. President Joe Biden said: “The will of the people prevailed, and Wisconsin demonstrated the strength of democracy to the nation … an important wi...
