Can confirm. I’m pretty sure the housing crisis in Madison is due to obscene rental costs & weird af pricing. A house in our neighborhood is well kept, but in desperate need of updates, is listed at $700K. A studio apt in our former building? $2100/mo.

We’re away from home, out of network & my 6yo has an ear infection. The final cost for concierge MD treatment (quick physical + antibiotics in hand) was $400. That’s a prohibitive cost for many, especially those facing rising ACA costs. Anyway, #FireSchumer. #ReleaseTheFiles

Did he get his lines from Pitch Perfect?

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

Trump is playing political games and is willing to let kids go hungry. He's planning to hold back SNAP benefits on November 1, even though he's got the money and the power to send them out. If they don't send the funds, we'll see them in court. Help us spread the word and keep the pressure up!

Get your fucking #Dtap vaccine. We just got a letter from our #publichealth department that #pertussis is spreading in my 6yo’s elementary school. Given our family dynamic & health status, we’ve been instructed to seek preventative antibiotics. Awesome.

This review of the unedited #Reagan speech may be helpful to some, especially those diehard GOP-ers who are currently pro #tariffs. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM9Crbn9/

Took the whole fam out to #NoKings in Madison, WI today. Dare I say, our sign game was on point.

Dear @pocan.house.gov & @baldwin.senate.gov : While we all know Sen. RJ likely sees this as a delightful “FU” to the non-existent welfare queens, this will harm Wisconsin families. The federal government is failing us. What are we doing to keep kids from starving?

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨👇👇👇👇👇👇 Conveniently all of our representatives are in their home districts right now(thanks, Magic Mike!) sooooooo I’m sure they would love to hear from everybody about how this news makes us feel 🫶🫶🫶

The world is burning, but my 6yo has no idea. She’s watching home improvement shows, making perler bead creations, and being extremely patient while her hair dye processes because she needs pink hair for a successful #KPopDemonHunters Halloween. It’s a weird fucking time to be a parent.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I made my sign for #NoKings Protest 2.0!

So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage. It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

On the radio show this week we dive into the downright dangerous misinformation the President is spreading about Tylenol and autism, and the many ways his administration is undermining public health w/ @firedbutfighting.bsky.social. https://www.momsrising.org/bt29sep25/?source=bsky

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social Stand your ground because it is OUR ground too. Don’t back down. #GOPShutdown #TrumpShutdown

We’re doing a #StarWars #Halloween theme with our army of skeletons this year. It’s Darth Vader & storm troopers fighting Jedi, but we also got signage to solidify the story. Fingers crossed the subtlety isn’t missed…

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Here’s a gift link to my New York Times piece on what Dems can learn from bad bunny www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/o...

Day 1 of asking why Senator Ron Johnson is taking a paycheck when #GOP owns power across all three branches of government. If he can’t be bothered to do his job, it’s Congress’ responsibility to ensure that we don’t waste taxpayer funds to pay them while they ask others to work for free.

Democrats are in DC working to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save health care. Where are congressional Republicans? It’s the day before a government shutdown... and they’re on vacation.

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

Awwww. Look at Hegseth’s fragile masculinity on display. How horrifying.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social & @democrats.senate.gov : I am loving the support for healthcare right now. But we are watching the rule of law disintegrate in front of us. We’re watching lawless bullying from Trump, Vance and Johnson erode away at the #Constitution. This is bigger than #healthcare.

The Republicans own the government across all three branches. The Democrats cannot be held responsible for a government shutdown that they themselves could avoid. This is stupid. @schumer.senate.gov needs to hold fast. Do NOT fund fascism in the name of bipartisanship. Do NOT comply in advance.

The #Democrats need to stop appointing people to power. They did it in WO with Barnes & they did it again with halting Biden’s run. Stop circumventing primaries! When are we going to start identifying strong voices within the party & setting them up for success with support ahead of the election?

The 6yo is having a “lateover” so we’re watching Beauty & the Beast on the garage door. I’ve also realized that it should surprise no one that monster romance books are this successful 30 years after this movie premiered. 😂😅😂

I stand with Portland I stand for due process for all I stand for federal employees I stand for the #Constitution I stand against fascism I stand against military takeover I stand against kidnapping immigrants. Time to use our voices #America Land of the free—only if we remain #HomeOfTheBrave

Hey @pocan.house.gov , tell your friends. Keep a weather eye out for illegal dealings and protect our federal employees.

As of 8am CDC's ACIP website does not have the proposed vote language for today's COVID vaccine recommendation posted. How is the public able to engage and provide informed comments? I testified before Senator Cassidy and @sanders.senate.gov on Wednesday- this is not radical transparency.

If Disney wanted to essentially take over the broadcasting industry, they’d say fuck off to the FCC and make an agreement with Apple to make Disney, Hulu, and ESPN easily accessible and included with Apple TV purchases. Who needs broadcasting when the internet is FCC free? (I’m kidding. Sort of.)

I had a radical hysterectomy to manage PCOS issues in 2023. I was in the ER yesterday for migraine with wicked dizziness that just wouldn’t quit. I know CT scans can be bad for babies, but explain to me why I’m gonna have to pay for an HCG blood test when I lack the equipment to house a fetus?

Lives are at stake with today’s ACIP meeting: ☑️ COVID-19 shots for kids & pregnant women ☑️ Hep B newborn vaccines ☑️ MMRV guidance ☑️ Vaccine funding for low-income families ☑️ Public trust in vaccines We won't be live posting but will return or chime in with thoughts. ⏰Stream live ~10AM Eastern

ABC/Disney aren’t accepting online comments. So I sent an email to the viewership contact as posted online. #Kimmel didn’t say anything untrue or concerning unless you’re running scared from an increasingly dictator-shaped president. Given that ABC has more money than God, that’s a cowardly move.

It’s like freaking clockwork. They’re targeting universities — where young adults are taught to think critically and question everything, or at least they should be. It’s not enough. Whatever we’ve been doing thus far, it isn’t enough.

Due process is good

Let me be clear: I don’t care that JD Vance is swearing as our VP. I do care that he’s being completely apathetic about the FUCKING RULES regarding murdering civilians in an unwarranted attack. @pocan.house.gov, I get that you guys are working on it but these guys are evil. They must be stopped.

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

HHS staff are coming together to demand the resignation of RFKjr. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/h...

A lot of the stuff this administration is doing is against the law

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

Stop giving this woman a platform. She’s spent both administrations being worried about Trump and then falling in line with every vote that wasn’t already a loss for the pumpkin. Vote her out. Get somebody with a spine. Jesus.

@govevers.wisconsin.gov :: Why should my kids be put at risk because our HHS secretary feels like he knows more than doctors and scientists? Vaccine availability is crucial to keeping our kids in schools — nobody wants a repeat of 2020.

Our leaders who spoke truth to power were just escorted off Roybal campus by security. Speak out and you’re gone? Go ahead - we’re not afraid. 🖕

Dear @pocan.house.gov, @baldwin.senate.gov: RFKJ lied to the people, and to the Senate. He’s going to kill us with these health policies. We should have a choice to obtain vaccination for ourselves and our kids. RFK needs to be removed from his position immediately.

🧵1/6 Hours before a gunman fired nearly 500 rounds 🔫 into CDC HQ — killing Officer David Rose 🚔 and forcing hundreds of us into lockdown — RFK Jr.’s hand-picked vaccine advisor posted a gun photo with this caption: “Five out of six scientists have proven that Russian roulette is harmless.” 🎯

This photo shows how close CDC colleagues came to being victims of a workplace mass murder A mentally ill man — radicalized by vaccine lies spread by our boss 🧠🪱— opened fire CDC shooting = domestic terrorism Call it that. Treat it as that #FireRFKJr We protect the public. Please protect us, too.
