MADISON – Today, the State Senate will meet to take action on a miniscule number of bills. Despite the legislative session beginning nearly five months ago, the State Senate has convened just a handful of times. Senate Democratic Leader Melissa Agard (D-Madison), released the following statement:

MILWAUKEE - We continue to debrief the historic Supreme Court election, including Ron Johnson urging the Republican Party to reduce its reliance on advertising and invest in a ground game and college students voting. We welcome Attorney Matt O’Neill, who represented the Janet Protasiewicz campaign, to discuss the campaign’s successful effort to remove from broadcast a false and trashy ad by the WMC. Matt provides his perspective on the ads and the challenges judicial elections face in the current campaign environment. We discuss Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling on mifepristone and how Big Pharma enabled these judges. In Wisconsin, Legislative Republicans want to arm school staff and scheme up new barriers and requirements designed to kick people off needed benefits like health care and unemployment insurance.

Madison – Since its start in 2009, Transgender Day of Visibility is to celebrate and honor the transgender and non-binary community across our country. It is a day for recognizing the significant accomplishments, contributions and hurdles this community has had to overcome simply to just be themselves. Amidst a time where the transgender and non-binary community is under attack nationwide from legislators, Representatives Ratcliff (D-46) and Clancy (D-19) stay firm on their position - to defend Wisconsin’s transgender and non-binary community and be a voice of advocacy in the Wisconsin State Capitol.

MADISON – Today, Governor Evers declared March 31, 2023 as Transgender Day of Visibility in Wisconsin and commended its observance to our state’s residents. Until 2021, the State of Wisconsin had never before officially recognized Transgender Day of Visibility. Under Governor Evers, our state has now recognized Transgender Day of Visibility in 2021, 2022, and 2023. State Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison), Senate Democratic Leader, released the following statement:

MILWAUKEE - We preview the home stretch of the critical Supreme Court race heading into the final weekend. It’s time for progressive leaders and activists to volunteer and Get Out The Vote for Janet Protasiewicz! SIGN UP NOW. We review the closing week of the campaign, including an ugly and false Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC) smear against Judge Protasiewicz which is further traumatizing a rape victim. Is there any ethical limit that the Wisconsin corporate lobby will not transgress in its relentless pursuit of a Supreme Court that will always rule in their favor? We discuss the opportunity mayor candidate Brandon Johnson presents the City of Chicago for a new direction of leadership, including public safety. We close the show talking about Bernie Sanders and Democratic U.S. Senators confronting founder and billionaire former CEO Howard Schultz on union busting in a headline grabbing Senate Hearing. Will the heroic sacrifices of Starbucks workers turn the tide for labor, or is there more we need to do?
