I just spoke with local small business owners in Baraboo. One mother told me her healthcare premiums for her and her family now costs more than her mortgage, a direct result of Republicans eliminating the ACA tax credits. These are real people facing real consequences.

Who exactly is “we”?

16 years ago today, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, clearing the way for millions to access affordable health care. Democrats won’t stop fighting for health care to be a reality for all.

A reminder that Democrats want TSA agents to be paid. We’ve supported targeted funding to keep them on the job. What we won’t do is sign off on a DHS funding bill that lets ICE continue to terrorize our communities. Congressional Republicans are refusing to separate the two for political gain.

Another bad idea straight from Project 2025. Medicare Advantage is private, for-profit insurance that overcharges American taxpayers by billions every year and regularly denies seniors the care they need.

16 years ago today, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. Like Joe Biden said, it was a big f’ing deal! Tens of millions of Americans received the coverage they needed, and insurers could no longer deny care for pre-existing conditions.

Let’s go Badgers Women’s Hockey! Good luck at the finals this afternoon against Ohio State.

Trump is focused on everything BUT lowering costs for people. Now he wants a gold commemorative coin with his face on it. www.usatoday.com/story/news/u...

Congrats to the Wisconsin Badgers Women's Ice Hockey on making it to the Frozen Four. Good luck at your game tonight vs. Penn State!

It is preposterous for the White House & the Pentagon to think of requesting any defense money from Congress while waging a war we never authorized, let alone $200 billion.

I was honored to secure $1 million for The Center for Black Excellence & Culture to build a brand new facility that opens in just a few months. It was exciting to get a behind the scenes tour from its founder Rev. Dr. Alex Gee before it opens!

What is the war in Iran costing us? Watch to find out.

Trump doesn't give a f*ck about lowering your bills.

Good luck to Badgers Men's Basketball! Let’s win this!

This was entirely preventable, except Congressional Republicans would rather let ICE continue to terrorize our communities instead of compromise to fund the TSA.

Whenever I speak with small business owners, they tell me how Trump’s illegal tariffs are still impacting them in major ways. As a former small business owner of more than three decades, I know firsthand how important small businesses are to our community.

Trump’s war in Iran costs American taxpayers billions of dollars every day. Instead of pouring money into an illegal and unnecessary war, those resources could be used to help Americans at home, like lowering healthcare costs, building affordable housing, or making everyday goods more affordable!

The average gas price today is $3.79, an increase of 81 cents per gallon since Trump’s war began 18 days ago.

Congressional Republicans are refusing to allow a vote on legislation to fully fund the TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard & to rein in ICE and Border Patrol. Democrats want to ensure that these public servants are paid for their work and our neighborhoods are no longer terrorized by Trump’s goon squad.

BREAKING: Trump’s top counterterrorism official just resigned and agrees that Iran posed no imminent threat to America.

This is batshit behavior from the President of the United States.

Jet fuel prices have increased 58% since Trump’s war in Iran began.

A reminder that Democrats want TSA agents to be paid. We’ve supported targeted funding to keep airport security workers on the job. What we won’t do is sign off on a DHS funding bill that lets ICE continue to terrorize our communities.

Honored to receive a perfect score on the @defenders.org 2025 Report Card. I’ll keep fighting to protect our wildlife, habitats, and our National Parks for generations to come.

A major winter storm is hitting Wisconsin right now. Heavy snow and low visibility are making some roads impassable and travel very dangerous. Go to 511wi.gov/#:Alerts for more info.

Medicare for All would save Americans $650 BILLION a year. Source: Congressional Budget Office.

REMINDER: 96% of American jobs were created under Democratic presidents since 1989.

During my time in Congress, I’ve worked to secure millions of dollars for Boys & Girls Clubs across Wisconsin. Their programs provide young people with safe places to learn, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed in life.

Democrats want TSA agents paid. We’ve supported targeted funding to keep airport security workers on the job. What we won’t do is sign off on a DHS funding bill that bankrolls ICE’s most extreme tactics. Congressional Republicans are refusing to separate the two for political gain.

The normalization of certain elected officials' blatant Islamophobia is unacceptable and must be condemned by all.

The news of a synagogue in Michigan being targeted is deeply disturbing. We’ve seen an uptick in antisemitism and the violence that comes with it across the country. We must stand against violence and hate. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

It’s always great to welcome @fcnl.bsky.social into my office. Their commitment to peace is inspiring. War is not the answer at home or abroad.

This DOGE dumbass tasked with getting rid of DEI for Trump & Elon doesn’t even know what DEI is. The video from his deposition is more than embarrassing.

The only people getting from rich from high gas prices are oil execs.

Trump’s war of choice with Iran is costing taxpayers nearly TWICE as much as initial estimates. And he still doesn't know what the endgame is!

When I’m in meetings all day and I want to catch up on the latest news, I know I can always rely on @atrupar.com. Tune in to the latest episode of my podcast to hear Aaron’s takes on the Iran War, the SAVE Act, and other news of the day. youtu.be/-38LsQeduPE

15 years ago, Wisconsin’s Act 10 was signed into law, which ended most collective bargaining rights for public employees in our state. I fought like hell to stop this blatantly anti-worker legislation when I was in the Wisconsin State Assembly. And the fight continues today.

A failed audit, millions on fancy meals, and an illegal war. Pete Hegseth has bigger things to worry about than his glamor shots.

Last year, Trump, Elon, and his DOGE goons took a sledgehammer to APPROVED, LEGAL programs. They used ChatGPT to find and kill projects like a documentary about Jewish women’s slave labor during the Holocaust because it promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Pete Hegseth blew through more money at the Pentagon in a month than any single point since the height of the Iraq War. What did he spend our hard-earned tax dollars on? Ribeye, lobster tails, and a $99,000 piano.

Today, we commemorate the tens of thousands of brave Tibetans who took to the streets to protest China’s unlawful occupation of Tibet. 67 years later, they continue to suffer under the oppressive policies of China. We must continue to raise awareness of Tibet’s fight for independence!

The same people in Congress who talk about how helping everyday Americans is too expensive never seem to feel the same about war.

Chat, are higher gas prices and a war in Iran considered winning?

Billionaire spending in federal elections has increased by more than 6,000 percent since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. We need to get big money out of politics and end Citizens United!

Religious freedom is literally in the First Amendment. Muslims are part of America — full stop. Those who promote this vile bigotry don’t belong in congress.

It wasn’t enough that Trump made our healthcare prices skyrocket with the Big Ugly Law, now he’s made gas prices go through the roof with his reckless war with Iran.

Happy International Women’s Day! I’ll always work to protect, advance, and celebrate women’s rights in America and around the world.

On this day in 1965, peaceful marchers in Selma, including my friend John Lewis, were beaten by state troopers for demanding the right to vote. The violence of Bloody Sunday shocked the nation and helped lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act just months later.
