To all the moms in Wisconsin and across the country: thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day!

Had a good conversation with senior officials in Secretary Kennedy’s office about making sure that facilities like Ridglan Farms can never misuse dogs again. I believe he agrees, but action is required. He can do this. If a facility has serious violations it should be shut down, period.

When I’m in Wisconsin meeting with constituents, I don’t hear a single person tell me that they want to spend their hard-earned money on a $1 billion golden ballroom. What I do hear is the rising costs of gas, groceries, healthcare & housing. This Administration promised to lower costs. They failed.

Later this month, I will be hosting a town hall in every county across my district! More info at pocan.house.gov/services/upcoming-2026-town-halls.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline saves lives. The more awareness we can raise about 988, especially among our young people, the better. (1/2)

From kindergarten through college, I attended public schools. Great teachers changed my life. The least we can do is pay them what they deserve. I will not stop fighting until that becomes reality. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

BREAKING: Gas prices have increased more than 50% as a direct result of Trump’s war with Iran.

Great to join Rev. Dr. Alex Gee at the grand opening of the new Center for Black Excellence. The Center will be a fixture in our community for generations to come. I was honored to secure $1 million in federal funds to help make it happen!

The American people are tired of corrupt politicians selling out to the highest bidder. Leaders like @pocan.house.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social know that getting our democracy to work means getting money out of politics and ending Citizens United.

As we watch Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, more and more of us are calling on his cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. (1/2)

Trump's unnecessary war with Iran is making life too damn expensive, especially for the farmers in my district who grow our nation's food. It’s time to finally end the war and bring prices down! www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Ballots were already in voters' hands in Louisiana, yet the Supreme Court still threw out its own 32-day waiting period to ram through a gerrymander. At this point, there is no doubt that they are not just putting their finger on the scale, but acting as an arm of the Republican Party.

As Co-Chair of @laborcaucus.house.gov, I am fighting in Congress to oppose the Trump administration's continued attacks on federal workers and the services that we all rely on.

Let me get this straight. 
First Trump said his ballroom was going to cost $200 million and it was all going to be donated. 
Then it was $300 million, then $400 million. (1/2)

Very happy to see the beagles from Ridglan Farms enjoying their freedom! www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right. We need to end Citizens United. youtube.com/shorts/JzBfY...

Our government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not corporations. It's time to overturn Citizens United!

Why does the United States experience so much more gun violence than other countries? David Hogg explains.

Wisconsin is seeing its highest-ever fuel prices and Republicans in Congress keep backing away from passing legislation to bring costs down and allow year-round E15. We had bipartisan agreements for E15 at the end of 2024 and THIS January. Just put it up for a vote already!

This World Press Freedom Day, we don’t just have to think about the attacks on the press in countries like Russia or China. The freedom of our own press is under attack.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Know that you are never alone and that help is available with the 988 Lifeline. Together we can end the stigma.

BREAKING: Gas prices have gone up nearly 50% since Trump’s war with Iran started to the highest in four years.

This #InternationalWorkersDay, I stand in solidarity with workers everywhere. As Co-Chair of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I’m in the fight to protect workers’ rights 💪 like fighting for better wages, benefits, and working conditions!

Absolutely wild how we all pay a higher tax rate than a company that made more than $60 billion in profit last year. We need to tax mega corporations and the ultra rich!

GREAT NEWS! Yesterday, animal rescue groups secured an agreement with Ridglan Farms to purchase nearly all of their beagles. We will continue to monitor the situation and will fight to ensure that every single dog receives a loving home.

They're just making sh!t up at this point.

Yesterday, I introduced a bipartisan resolution with Rep. Ben Cline to recognize April as Undiagnosed Awareness Month and April 29th as Undiagnosed Day.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, @usprogressives.bsky.social, is now on TikTok! Give them a follow at tiktok.com/@usprogressives.

70% of members of the House of Representatives are 65 or older. Those demographics are not representative and don’t look like the electorate. On today’s podcast, I chat about this age discrepancy, gun violence prevention, and more with David Hogg. Take a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7TQ...

Prices for groceries, healthcare, education, childcare, basically everything under the sun, are way too high. We need big, new ideas to actually make things cheaper for working people. @USProgressives announced the New Affordability Agenda to make things cheaper by taking on special interests.

My amendment targeting breeders like Ridglan Farms was passed into the House Appropriations Agriculture funding bill earlier today.

Donald Trump's war of choice did this. End the war in Iran! www.nbcnews.com/business/ene...

Studies show that Trump's dismantling of USAID may have already caused upwards of 1 million preventable deaths worldwide, and could cause up to 14 million more by 2030.

Today, I spoke in support of @quigley.house.gov's amendment in the Appropriations Committee to provide urgently needed funding to help rebuild Gaza and give Gazans the help they desperately need.

Today is Workers’ Memorial Day. We recognize the thousands of Americans who lose their lives on the job every year. From OSHA to Workers’ Compensation, the labor movement has led many great victories. But we still have more to do. No one should EVER lose their life simply trying to earn a living.

US gas prices continue to rise. Today, they reached the highest level since the beginning of the War in Iran. But I guess that’s good news, according to Trump?

If every other developed nation in the world can make universal healthcare work, maybe it's not the system that's complex, but our refusal to challenge big pharma and insurance giants.

If approved, Trump’s proposed war budget would be the most egregious waste of taxpayer dollars I have ever seen. A war budget that costs more than the next 35 countries combined. That’s right.

This could have all been prevented.

Interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy? Join my office on May 9 at the Madison Central Library to learn more about the nomination process.

I asked my Republican colleagues to explain why they want to ban the IRS from providing an online tool that ALREADY EXISTS to allow people to file their taxes for free. *Silence* Every Republican voted against @gluesenkampperez.house.gov's amendment to allow the IRS to offer Direct File.

Everyone should be talking about this. While we never seem to have enough money for Americans here at home, Trump proposed a war budget that’s higher than the next 35 countries combined. You read that right: 35 countries, including our allies.

They're engaging in blatant corruption in broad daylight and BRAGGING about it on TV!

I spent 37 years of my life as a small business owner. I had a great conversation with Richard Trent, Executive Director of Main Street Alliance, a group of 30,000 small business owners who’ve organized to reclaim economic and political power for small businesses across the country.

The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has saved 26 million lives worldwide over the last two decades. Trump’s abrupt pause & restarting of the program has put millions of lives at risk unnecessarily.

Donald Trump is currently suing the government HE runs for $10 billion. I offered a commonsense amendment in @democrats-appropriations.house.gov to ban him and future presidents from suing and settling with the government they run to avoid any president from taking advantage of their office.

DACA recipients can go to school here, serve in our military, and work in our hospitals, but for some reason, they're not allowed to be federal employees. It makes no sense! @aguilar.house.gov offered an amendment to change that but again, Republicans rejected this commonsense change.

Project 2025 lead author and Trump’s current budget head, Russ Vought, is STEALING Congressionally-approved funds. Today, I offered an amendment to withhold funds from his office until he testifies before @democrats-appropriations.house.gov and answers our questions.

Happy Earth Day, a celebration with Wisconsin roots!

Syrian billionaires are trying to lift American sanctions by building a “Trump-branded resort” in their country. It's outrageous that the way to getting what you want from Trump is just flattery. Imagine if this happened under Biden or Obama. And nope, this isn't The Onion.
