Even if your preferred candidate wins, … every single Wisconsinite should be alarmed at this grotesque billionaire arms race,” Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Center, told Bolts late Tuesday, before the result was announced. “The past two months have shown us a terrifying preview of what’s coming: an America where billionaires run the show, and the rest of us are just spectators.”<a href="https://boltsmag.org/wisconsin-supreme-court-result-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://boltsmag.org/wisconsin-supreme-court-result-2025/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Wisconsin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wisconsin</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/SusanCrawford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SusanCrawford</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BradSchimel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BradSchimel</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>
