We have US Supreme Court Justices openly taking bribes from special interests with cases before the court.

Republicans and the wealthy elites that they work for are doing better than ever. At the same time, everyone who isn't a millionaire is finding they are falling further behind in trying to pay rent, groceries, health care, higher education, and energy bills.

How soon until Trump makes his supporters wear orange face to show they are truly on his side? The hatred, white supremacy, violence, pedophilia, and corruption haven't been too much but maybe matching his make-up will be where they finally draw the line and fascism finally falters. 🎃

33,000 of Congressman Bryan Steil's constituents are about to have their health care costs skyrocket. He has continued to abandon his district, holding only a single town hall since Trump took office and none during the longest shutdown in US history.

It looks like Tom Tiffany and Republicans are just going to continue to lie about Governor Evers' veto that set in place a $325/pupil/year increase in revenue limits for public schools across the state. So let's go over this.

Because Trump has directed US attention on going after people based on the color of the skin and not the content of their character, folks who are filled with hatred are going unimpeded while government agents stop people who “look foreign.” We are less safe as a result.

Whether through breathtaking cold or sweltering heat, we will stand steadfast for our democracy and for a fair and unbiased justice system where people are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Hannah Dugan isn't the one on trial; the American justice system is.

Monday morning 8:30am Federal Courthouse Join your neighbors in standing against fascism in Wisconsin. We stand for justice and freedom from fear of politically motivated prosecution in America.

"Participant."

A very Merry Christmas from your Bay View elected officials!

Meet Jaciel Cirrus Rojas. A 24 year old father with no criminal record was swept up as “collateral damage” during an immigration raid in Racine. Despite a court order to release him since he poses no safety or flight risk, a Trump-appointed judge continues to deny his release from Dodge County Jail.

Standing up with our neighbors in support of Judge Hannah Dugan and against judicial intimidation and immigrant harassment. We will not be intimidated by Trump’s goon squad.

As of this school year, our students in public schools are worth over $3,580 less than their peers were a decade ago, adjusting for inflation. Wisconsin is not below the national average for funding public education for our kids.

Big tech companies seeking massive amounts of electricity, water, and land shouldn’t be allowed to hide any of what they are demanding from the public. www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...

With Trump’s government, it’s hard to tell where the corruption ends and the incompetence begins. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I was lucky enough to welcome former US Rep @coribush.bsky.social to Milwaukee this weekend. We need her voice back in congress asap, fighting for common sense and those who have been ignored for too long.

High of 27 = perfect Saturday for a bike ride with an avalanche of Santa’s through the streets of Milwaukee. This was our first ride and we’re already planning for next year. 🎅 🚲 ☀️

Perfect day for a Santa Cycle Rampage!

It's pretty clear: there's one party that believes in a government so massive that they can send masked, government agents into your neighborhood and trample your and your neighbors' constitutional rights.

Police should not be allowed to violently detain a person who is non-violently exercising their free speech. This used to be something all Americans agreed on. Anyone who gave the police this instruction should be fired.

You deserve better than this corrupt government that rules with fear, division, and hatred so they can divide, destroy, and plunder.

Trump has used violence to silence his perceived enemies. Trump is currently using violence against his perceived enemies. Trump will use violence against an ever increasing group of people he perceives as his enemies.

I spent the morning with an amazing classroom of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders discussing the role of state government and how things are supposed to work. They suggested some proposed legislation and then debated the merits of them before a vote. (1/5)

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).

It is time to seriously consider the possibility that this failed president doesn't even know what the term "vetting" means

1st Annual At-Home BrummLar Turkey Trot ~5k! It was cold. It was windy. Atticus and I tied for the win with Donut chasing. Congrats to everyone who knocked out their Turkey Trot this morning, unofficial or otherwise. 🦃 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 🏃‍♂️ 🥧 Happy Thanksgiving!

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is. There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

It is now harder to achieve a higher education, home ownership, having kids, and living healthy without going into significant debt than it was a generation ago.

✅ Kansas We're about to start the Gobbler Grind Marathon in Kansas (kiddos are doing the 5k). This will be my 35th state on my way to knocking out all 50. After the long run last week, I'm just looking to enjoy the fall scenery and have fun without thinking about pace.

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

I guess one way to distract people from your friendship with a sex criminal is to claim that you are friends with a political murderer.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the 42% reimbursement for mandated special education services in public schools that legislative Republicans and Tony Evers celebrated as a huge victory for our kids would not materialize.

In the words of a prophet, “I believe that children are our future.”

Buddy Holly’s glasses are too controversial for the current regime. They’re making our country into the town from Footloose. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

If it hasn't been already obvious, Republicans and the insurance industry are intent on dragging us backwards to when insurance companies had all the power over your health. I cannot imagine most Americans are on board with what's coming.

I just voted for the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) to be more transparent by having their meetings open to the public and making them responsive to open records requests. 1/3

The Trump administration has redirected the priorities of the federal government to move away from pursuing child predators, trafficking, and terrorism, and instead focused on immigration enforcement. Xenophobia and racism are guiding the mission, not public safety. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

man good luck hosting a world cup or an olympics, let alone something like a sxsw

Subject: ✅45 mile run Thanks to each of you who chipped in $5-$45 for the Franciscan Peacemakers toward our goal. We’re almost there!

CNN reports that Trump has decided whether to further betray everything he promised voters in 2024 by entering his *second* entirely elective foreign war, this time with Venezuela, which is no threat to America whatsoever: www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/p...

It’s a beautiful day for a run! Thanks to everyone who has chipped in to Franciscan Peacemakers so far. If you can, chip in $45 or what you can to help hit our goal of $1,000 raised today. 45 miles, here we go… givebutter.com/gZhKD0/chris...

Only in America is gun violence the number one cause of death for kids. Tragically, another kid didn't make it home from school in Milwaukee today. This will only change when enough people demand their elected leaders listen to parents and kids instead of the gun manufacturers.

With their increased costs and headaches, paired with diminishing services and horrible outcomes, the case is being made by the unholy alliance of insurance companies, hospitals, and big pharmaceuticals that…

When I talk about private voucher schools being unaccountable, it makes some people very mad. But how do you explain this: All Wisconsin public and private school choice schools must administer the Forward exam every year. Public schools had a participation rate of close to 98% in 2025.

Get ready for even higher energy bills. WeEnergies is an investor-owned utility that has an incentive to spend more and build more. That’s probably why they’re funding a new front group pushing for massive data centers to be built in communities across the state.

Breaking News 🚨 Ron Johnson and some of his Republican buddies wrote a provision into the legislative appropriations bill that would allow him, personally, to get a special $500k payout.

I’m thankful for @baldwin.senate.gov today.

This whole party is still more concerned with taking care of their criminal allies and enriching themselves than they are with helping anyone in the 60% of the country that is struggling.

If you’re in Milwaukee and concerned about the abysmal conditions in our jails and prisons, please join us this morning at 11am on the south steps of the Milwaukee County Courthouse as we roll out legislation to address it. Monday, Nov 10 at 11:00 AM Clas Plaza, 930 E Wells St, Milwaukee

Why do you think that President Trump only recently rediscovered the word "groceries"? Why do you think President Trump keeps refusing to offer food assistance to struggling Americans, despite multiple court orders requiring his administration to do so?
