Wisconsin Ethics Commission alleges illegal scheme by Trump fundraising committee and Rep. Janel Brandtjen

A state oversight panel is recommending Wisconsin prosecutors pursue a slate of felony charges against a fundraising committee for Donald Trump and a Republican state lawmaker in a scheme to evade campaign finance laws surrounding an effort to unseat one of the most powerful Republicans in Wisconsin, Trump foe Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

As an unfortunate citizen of of that part of the Midwest, I can attest that alt-right propaganda is beginning to flourish with the upcoming election. Historically blue states within our region are no exception; many of the youth within the rural town I live in have unfortunately fallen trap to misinformation. I see more MAGA flags/hats, "fuck Biden" stickers on gas pumps, and hear more slavering bullshit spill from their mouths. There is still much more work to be done in repairing our democracy from fascist agendas.

PLEASE: Remember to vote for every election you can. It only takes one afternoon of one day to cast your ballot, but it means e v e r y t h I n g in how our country is delegated. It doesn't matter what color tie they wear, but it is crucial they care for the health of our globe and people as much as they do their country.

This is our home. Let's show it we care.

I hope this investigation takes out Vos, too. THAT would be a win-win for the state

The investigation probably won't since he's technically the victim of this crime, but I can definitely see the further right side of the Republican party blaming him for the fallout from this and primarying him

Either way, those county level Republican organizations getting taken down could be the really big deal here. This plus fair maps could suddenly turn Wisconsin as blue as Michigan and Minnesota have been recently.
