Five days until the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. In this final stretch, progressives are being outspent. We’re seeing floods of GOP attacks. And yet I’d rather be us than them—because we’re fighting for freedom, democracy, and justice.

Help fuel the last push.



To understand this race, read this blockbuster piece from Michelle Goldberg—which makes clear exactly how pivotal this race is going to be. And it documents the viciously dishonest GOP smear campaign currently underway.

The ads and attacks the Republicans are running range from outright falsehoods to profoundly inaccurate retraumatizations of victims of serious crimes. Why are they willing to do this? Because it’s critical to their hold on power.

The MAGA groups flooding Wisconsin with lies in order to entrench GOP power now have a spending advantage in the final stretch. Because Janet’s campaign gets lower rates on TV ads, it’s still out-communicating the GOP. But the right has a financial edge.

The right is spending all of this money not just because it will affect the future of democracy in Wisconsin— but because it will affect democracy for the entire nation. Democracy’s foes know the stakes. We have to understand them as well.

This election is for all the marbles. Chip in. Sign up to knock doors. Sign up to join a phone bank. Share this post. Spread the word. Winning this race is going to take every one of us.
