The Wisconsin GOP continues to pee all over us...

Wisconsin's GOP is so corrupt they stink on ice.

Wisconsin Republicans to quickly kill Medicaid expansion

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Republicans who control the Wisconsin Legislature plan to convene, and then immediately end, a special session called by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to expand Medicaid, a move that would bring the state a one-time bonus of $1 billion in federal money.

Both the Senate and Assembly plan to convene at 1 p.m. Tuesday before adjourning with no debate.

Let's hope the new districts that get drawn are closer to 50-50, particularly in the Milwaukee suburbs.

WI Republicans rode that horse in the early 2000's and Reince Priebus and Snotty Walker exported it to the rest of the country.
