I’m so surprised. 🙄 Americans Are Paying the Bill for Tariffs, Despite Trump’s Claims www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/b...

Currently, we have gerrymandered Congressional maps in WI causing a 50/50 state to have 6 GOP/2 DEM members, not 4/4. We can have FAIR maps like our state legislative ones. Read the facts & SPEAK OUT. Our WI Supreme court can rule on fair maps for 2026! captimes.com/opinion/gues...

Every GOP member of the House of Representatives is not in Washington this week. They are home. Use this opportunity to ask them why they won’t stand up to Trump on his tariffs taxes you are paying, the increases in healthcare costs & his misuse of ICE. Make them answer you.

The ONLY reason Trump keeps a rogue agency like ICE in Minneapolis is to INFLAME the situation. They’ve murdered 2 innocent people so Trump can try to get his polling numbers up. The blood is on Trump, Sec. Noem & Stephen Miller’s hands. Sick people. Stand united everyone. 🇺🇸

The case for fair Congressional maps in Wisconsin. Why our Supreme Court must act. captimes.com/opinion/gues...

WI’s Congressional maps are very gerrymandered. For a 50:50 purple state, we should have 4 Dems & 4 GOP. Instead, we have 6 GOP & 2 Dems due to gerrymandering. The WI Supreme Court can change that & give us fair maps if they prioritize a case before them. Now is the time!

Tariffs on Denmark and Allies over Greenland! Our President is an egomaniac and moron. Now we all get to all pay more for goods so that Donald Trump can keep flaunt his ego. Can’t we just give him another fucking award? Wake up, MAGA! thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This is better.

Watch Trump last night? Did you look up the 25th Amendment?

Trump says affordability is a “con job”. I guess a guy who has gold-leafed the entire oval office and is building a ballroom larger than the White House at a cost that’s 10x that of a normal ballroom wouldn’t think affordability is an issue. He doesn’t give a damn about you. 👎

Treasury Secretary Bessent: “Trump has a solution to affordability.” Trump at the cabinet meeting: “Affordability is a hoax by the Democrats.” Which is it??

Your morning contemplation.

This is INSANE. Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, reposted Donald Trump‘s social media saying Seth Meyer should be fired. This is the same asshole who went after Jimmy Kimmel as Disney was trying to do a merger before him. This guy is corrupt & needs to be investigated!

The Republicans that voted to reopen the government without a healthcare fix for the 22 million on the ACA and all of us paying more for health insurance due to the Big, Ugly Law, now own those increases. If you are affected, remember who supported those cuts. 🤮 November 2026.

If @SenRonJohnson tries to get that $1 million corrupt payment that was inserted in the Senate proposal to reopen government, he needs to be recalled. Corruption is making 8 well-connected people eligible for a payday. Sen. Johnson must say he will refuse any corrupt payment.

Remember, the real problems are people like @derrickvanorden, who voted to cut SNAP food assistance and gut healthcare. He is making your life more expensive. He is the one taking food from kids and healthcare from Americans.

I sure as hell hope Senate Dems don’t take two oxen & a goat, with a promise of four chickens in the future, in trade to reopen government. It’s about healthcare. It’s about SNAP assistance. It’s about Trump stealing money Congress approves. It’s about the American people.

GOP cuts SNAP food assistance by over $180 billion in Big, Ugly Law. Congress created a contingency fund to deal with issues like the shutdown. Even Trump’s Dept of Ag agrees on Congressional intent. Trump refuses to follow & halts food assistance. GOP majority does nothing. 🤮

As bad as the GOP cuts to healthcare are, Trump’s Tariff Taxes hit us all hard every day. Housing has remained high. Groceries & durable goods are up due to tariffs. Energy & healthcare are up due to the Big, Ugly Law. What’s the priority? Our wallets or Trump’s ballroom?

Waking up knowing Trump, MAGA & clueless House GOP delivered a huge election victory last night. People want to be able to afford groceries & other things (tariffs), want healthcare (Big Ugly), want food for poor (Big Ugly), and more. Pretty simple. GOP works against you. 🇺🇸

Great weekend one year out from the November 2026 elections. Stopped in Monroe, Darlington and Mineral Point. Great people ready to take back the US House. State Assembly & Senate, Governorship, AG, Treasurer & Sec. of State.

If @SpeakerJohnson decides his GOP members deserve a 7th week of paid vacation next week, I think I’ve got done plans for WI’s 3rd Congressional district. Hard to believe I do more work in @derrickvanorden’s district than he does.

Wow. @derrickvanorden is in the wrong Capitol today. He’s in Madison lying about his vote to cut SNAP by over $150 billion in the Big, Ugly Bill, rather than bring in DC doing his job. He admitted he didn’t ask for an earmark to help a veterans facility in his district. AWOL.

Today would be a great day for the GOP in Congress to show up in DC & work, negotiating reopening of the government, a healthcare fix, a farm bill & much more. No one gets 6 weeks of paid vacation time to tweet. Every Republican should have to answer for their inaction.

This is the sixth week of paid vacation for House Republicans who refuse to come to Washington. I’ll be there hoping they will negotiate to reopen govt, fix their healthcare attacks, pass a farm bill & much more. If they don’t show up, they aren’t doing their jobs. Enough.

Just wait. Now he’s saying $300 million without any Congressional approval. Ridiculous.

Tired of “winning” for the American people? The President is a charlatan. Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Super powerful weekend with 7 million people protesting against Trump & Republicans, the largest in our nation’s history. Now take this empowering weekend to action. Call your elected officials. Join organizations doing the work you care about. Be active! We got this! ✊🇺🇸

This week in Congress: - spent 2 days in DC but with no GOP showing up for work, no work got done - 3 townhalls in Derrick Van Orden’s district since he does none, discussed his vote to rip healthcare from 15 million & raise our rates - 4 No Kings rallies, empowering! ✊📣🇺🇸

Wow. Just wow. Madison’s No King’s rally doubled in size from the last one. People want their democracy, not a monarchy. Way to go, Badgers!

Sun Prairie always delivers for democracy! No kings. No tyrants. No demagogues. People love our country more than anyone individual.

Even in the most rural parts of Wisconsin, people don’t want kings. Great turnout in New Glarus! People are united against Trump.

Great turnout in Janesville, Wisconsin today for the No Kings rally! People love our country, but dislike that some would choose an individual over it. The people united will never be defeated.

Tomorrow. Be there for America’s future, Wisconsin. No Kings. No Monarchy or Autocracy.

3 more Townhalls in WI’s 3rd district today, making it 7 in less than ten days! @derrickvanorden has NEVER done an open public town hall in 3 years. People are upset over his votes to cut healthcare from 15 million people and increase everyone’s rates. Derrick was AWOL again.

Hey Derrick Van Orden, there are a lot of people in your district that would love to talk to you in person. If you decide to leave the basement, come on down to Platteville. Great townhall today!

Today! Thursday If you live in: Platteville area Black River Falls area Stevens Point area Come to a Congressional town hall to learn why 15 million people will lose their healthcare & ALL of us will pay more, due to @derrickvanorden’s support of the Big, Ugly Law. Join us!

No! Trump Administration Authorizes Covert C.I.A. Action in Venezuela www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

One day to the first open public townhalls in 3 years in Platteville, Black River Falls & Stevens Point! Hear how @derrickvanorden and the GOP voted to raise your healthcare premiums & take healthcare away from 15 million people. Join me! I’m doing 7 town halls in 10 days. DVO - none in 3 years.

Two days til people in Platteville, Black River Falls, and Stevens Point can finally hear from a member of Congress after 3 years. Derrick Van Orden is AWOL. Join us on Thursday.

If you live in Platteville, Black River Falls or Stevens Point - or surrounding areas - hear about how the GOP is either cutting your healthcare or raising your premiums, all because of the Big Ugly Law they voted for. Derrick Van Orden is MIA in his own district. I’ll hear from you. Thursday.

What could be better than doing four town halls in one day in Derrick Van Orden’s district like we did this week after he’s done none in 3 years? Doing 3 more in a day this week! If the GOP cancels votes, will get the information out about the cuts to healthcare they’re doing.

Nothing says “Nobel Peace Prize” like deploying the military against your own citizens.

America's unions will see you in court.

Three town halls in Western Wisconsin in representative Derek Van Orden’s district today so far. One more to go. People are upset about increasing healthcare costs and 15 million people losing healthcare access, as well as the Trump tariff taxes we are all paying. And guess who was a no-show…

Today is the day, Western Wisconsin. See what a real Congressman does. Listens to their constituents. Something your elected rep has never done - a public town hall. Join us in one of four spots today! The GOP may be on their 3rd week of paid vacation. Dems aren’t.

I see Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 20 times already by 10:43am on his third week of paid vacation. I invite him to join me in his district, doing his job, tomorrow in four cities. X can wait. This is what a real congressman does, FYI. Shutdown. Healthcare. Tariffs. More.

Hey Western Wisconsin/3rd Congressional district The GOP run Congress just took ANOTHER week of vacation when they should be protecting your healthcare and reducing rates. Want to know more about what your member of Congress ISN’T doing? Attend a meetup with me on Tuesday!

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!

Today’s jobs report shows the Trump admin’s policies are slowing job creation, increasing unemployment and disproportionately harming Black workers. America’s unions will keep fighting for all workers to have the freedom, fairness and security they need. aflcio.org/press/releas...
