Wisconsin Republicans Are Failing The “WI Smell Test”

⁉️ WHAT DID I JUST VOTE ON? – There’s understandably some blowback to the bill House Republicans passed recently that makes massive cuts to important programs, but who expected it would come from GOP lawmakers who voted for it and now say they didn’t know what was in it?

A Nebraska congressman admitted not knowing the budget bill includes language that would make it harder for judges to hold people in contempt of court, a provision helpful to President Donald Trump. And Georgia US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she wouldn’t have voted for the bill had she known it would limit states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI) to protect people from misuse and harm.

US Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Black Earth) visited our daily radio show to say his Republican colleagues should have known better—and this might explain why so many of them aren’t holding public events.
