Day 20 with no end in sight to Republicans' federal government shutdown. Folks, it's simple—Republicans need to end the shutdown, extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits that will keep healthcare more affordable, and get the federal government back to work.

Happy Diwali, Wisconsin! May we continue to see the light in ourselves, in one another, and in our communities. #FestivalofLights

This survey confirms what we all know to be true — supporting higher education is worth it. Gateway helps students, strengthens our schools, improves the local economy, and creates lasting positive impacts across our entire state. journaltimes.com/news/local/e...

Wishing everyone a joyful and prosperous Diwali! May the festival of lights bring peace, happiness, and new beginnings to all who celebrate!

The question we all need to ask is when are Republicans gonna give up using the federal government to transfer more wealth to multi-billionaires while kicking millions of Americans off their health care?

WI Republicans are trying to make our gun violence problem worse. Hundreds of Wisconsinites die to gun violence every year - peaking at 818 in 2022. Large majorities have consistently supported common-sense gun reforms like universal background checks, red flag laws, and more.

In a democracy, power flows from the people — not to them. The people should choose their elected officials, not the other way around. urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/10/17/w...

Families in Wisconsin are already being squeezed by high costs – and I refuse to add to that burden and let their health care costs skyrocket too. That’s why I’m not backing down from this fight.

I was glad to join the Forest County Potawatomi Community to celebrate the ribbon cutting on a new multi-use path along U.S. Highway 8. This new path is going to help make sure bikers, drivers, and walkers can get around the community safely.

If Republicans in Congress let the ACA tax credits expire, health insurance premiums will surge for nearly every American. We're fighting to extend them! We want to hear how rising premiums will impact you. Share your story here: pocan.house.gov/share-your-s...

Most housing subsidies are not available to students, so we had to get creative to make sure that new student housing developments include affordable options.

The President shared an AI-generated video of himself dumping tons of feces on Americans in major cities on social media this weekend, and I personally cannot think of a better metaphor for his presidency.

Another UW campus is shuttered, and I’m angry. My statement: “Campus closures and the march towards consolidation is a result of Republican politicians viewing higher education as a luxury good that only those who can afford it deserve. In their view, (1/2)

🚨BREAKING: Maria Lazar has doubled down on her anti-abortion extremism by stating that overturning Roe v. Wade was "very wise". Personal reproductive health decisions should be made by people and their doctors, not anti-abortion extremists like Lazar.

On "Rational Revolution," host @markbecker.bsky.social shared a recent conversation he had with Tommy Thompson, where the former governor said he does not think Tom Tiffany can win the race for governor in Wisconsin. Thompson said Tiffany can't win enough votes in Dane and Milwaukee counties.

Day 19 and Republicans in Congress still haven't returned to work.

It was great to see so many people at the Madison #NoKings march yesterday!

Our farmers work hard to feed our families, and they deserve better than more uncertainty and chaos from President Trump and Republicans in Congress. www.wpr.org/news/farmers...

The only way to get us out of this mess is for Democrats and Republicans to sit down together and negotiate a solution. So why, on Day #19 of Trump’s shutdown, are Republicans still refusing to do that?

See you in Point! facebook.com/events/1352262852779732

Health care premiums for millions of Americans are going up as we speak. But Republicans want to continue to play three card monte with the lives and livelihoods of the American people.

Americans don't want their healthcare premiums to skyrocket. Period. President Trump and Republicans must listen to the people that elected them to serve. End the shutdown now.

Terrific to see so many of you come out to stand up to tyranny! It gives me great hope for the future.

Wisconsin's agritourism industry helps teach us about where our food comes from, while making memories that last a lifetime. It was great to visit Porter's Patch near Bonduel to learn about this 7th-generation family-owned farm and celebrate Wisconsin's fall agritourism season!

✊ So… What Comes Next? Many of you have been asking, “What’s next?” That is the most important question you could be asking in this moment, because what comes next determines whether yesterday was just a march, or part of a movement that lasts!! www.wisconsinresist.org/orgs

I went to the NO KINGS MILWAUKEE protest and took several dozen photos. www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/photos-tho...

“There’s no way I’m bending the knee I have left for a king in America.” Damn. Just … damn.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said: Somewhere in America A little Hispanic girl Is hiding in an attic And keeping a diary. #NoKings

#NoKings Miami!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

1,800+ came together in Waukesha and Brookfield today. A 79-year-old grandmother at her first ever protest said she’s “fighting for the America I knew and the one I want for my grandkids.” Conservatives shared, “No matter who you voted for before, we should all be able to agree on this.” #NoKings

No Kings in Madison, Wisconsin:

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
