Vos is a stinky piece of shit.
#wisconsin

He Vowed to “Protect the Unborn.” Now He’s Blocking a Bill to Expand Medicaid for Wisconsin’s New Moms.
Splitting with anti-abortion members of his own party, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has refused to join 48 other states in ensuring that vulnerable women have access to potentially lifesaving care for up to a year after giving birth.

That's good to hear.
"After a legal fight with the Trump administration, Wisconsin is awarding $14 million in federally-funded grants to build electric vehicle fast-charging stations at 26 businesses across the state."

Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third District
wants you to think he is a tough guy.
He wears his Navy SEAL Trident like a shield, using his past service to deflect from the fact that he is a traitor to this country and tried to overthrow a democratically elected government on January 6th, 2021.
Derrick Van Orden is not a tough guy. He is a thug. And his race should be the number one target in Wisconsin.

Politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass invasive laws.
Their solution?
Entirely ban the use of VPNs. 
Yes, really.
As of this writing, Wisconsin lawmakers are escalating their war on privacy
by targeting VPNs in the name of “protecting children”
in A.B. 105/S.B. 130.
It’s an age verification bill

For years, Sen. Ron Johnson has been spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and the safety of vaccines.
He’s promoted disproven treatments for COVID-19
and claimed, without evidence, that athletes are “dropping dead on the field” after getting the COVID-19 vaccination.
Now the Wisconsin politician is endorsing a book by a discredited doctor promoting an unproven and dangerous treatment for autism and a host of ailments:
