#WI03 Rep. Derrick Van Orden wants to take away federal funding from a whole city because he has a problem with the first amendment. Read and share. https://shorturl.at/wkmCm

Over a week of tweeting inflammatory rhetoric. Derrick Van Orden is unhinged.

Derrick Van Orden got out an official statement condemning political violence posted after the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. Then he got on his personal page and started posting calls for violence and hasn't stopped in over a week. https://shorturl.at/2e9hV

This weekend! The WisDems have volunteer events across the state to bring together our communities and get ready for the fight of a lifetime in 2026. We can’t afford to wait. Get involved, we’re ready for you! wisdems.org/volunteer

RFK Jr. is a danger to all of us. Senator Tammy Baldwin is NOT standing for it, and we agree, RFK Jr. is making America sick. And he’s being supported and empowered by elected officials like Derrick Van Orden, Tom Tiffany, and Ron Johnson.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage month, Latino Caucus Chair of Cristhabel Martinez released the following statement reflecting and celebrating what this month means to her community.

BREAKING: As the Trump Administration continues its attacks on public health and science, I've directed DHS take every action to ensure Wisconsinites can access safe, effective vaccines to help keep themselves and their families safe. More here ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV…

Your “bag with different things in it” is getting a lot more expensive under Donald Trump.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month provides a chance to honor the rich diversity of Latino and Hispanic Wisconsinites, who represent a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Every Wisconsinite benefits from the leadership of our Latino and Hispanic communities.

Every Wisconsin Democrat in the state legislature has signed on to support bills to repeal policies that take power away from workers, reinstate prevailing wages, restore project labor agreements; and stop misclassification of workers. Dems are working for WI: https://www.shorturl.at/4AxSR

The GOP war on veterans

It's the GOP who took funding for these facilities out of the state budget. And it's the GOP who voted down an amendment, offered by Democrats, to add the funding back in. https://wisconsinwatch.org/2025/09/veterans-say-klein-hall-gave-them-a-new-life-now-its-set-to-close/

#WI03 Rep. Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 197 times about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk, many of which are personal attacks, invitations for civil war, and calls for violence. He is going completely unchecked by his own party as he pours gasoline on an open flame. shorturl.at/O7EJc

But our work is not done. I will continue to urge the Trump Administration to approve the remainder of my request, and I will keep fighting to make sure Wisconsin receives every resource that is needed and available. Read more ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

Thanks to Wisconsin Emergency Management and FEMA’s quick work in identifying and confirming our need for federal assistance and aid, as well as the tireless advocacy of @baldwin.senate.gov and @repgwenmoore.bsky.social, we can continue our critical recovery efforts.

BREAKING: Over the past month, we've been working to ensure folks and families impacted by flooding could get the support they need to recover. Finally, tonight, we received official notice that the Trump Administration has partially approved our request.

We remember and honor the fallen.

Derrick Van Orden is calling for "gloves off" violence. Since the horrific murder yesterday he has sent out nearly 100 tweets inviting a civil war and encouraging violence against Democrats and the media. And his fellow Republicans are refusing to tell him to stop. https://www.shorturl.at/1MGAL

My statement on the horrific killing of Charlie Kirk. ⬇️

“Gov. Tony Evers proposed $1.9 million in new funding for the Veteran Housing and Recovery Program." "The Legislature’s Republican-controlled budget writing committee rejected the proposal before hashing out the two-year budget Evers signed in July.” tinyurl.com/4bcjrsvx

Wisconsin Democrats proposed budget funding for veterans homes in Wisconsin TWICE. And TWICE Republicans refused to fund these homes. These closures are because of Republicans. What are they going to do about it besides write full-of-shit letters?

There are hundreds of Little Free Libraries in our area, including this one outside of Elm Lawn Elementary in Middleton dedicated to Maddy Phillips. The inscription says “Reading Gives us Wings.” Please stop by and take a book and maybe leave one!

Help is out there. #SuidicidePreventionMonth

Wisconsin Republicans are abandoning our veterans. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/09/04/veterans-housing-sites-set-to-close-in-a-month-bipartisan-action-to-stop-it-appears-out-of-reach/

Hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin families save $500+ a month with these tax breaks. If Republicans don't join me to extend them, 30,000 Wisconsinites will lose coverage, and premiums will rise as much as 34% for everyone else on the Affordable Care Act. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/09/08/b...

Americans are being crushed by Donald Trump’s reckless agenda. On top of the largest cuts to Medicaid and Medicare in history, his tariffs are driving up insurance premiums, and it’s everyday Americans who pay the price.

Creating community creates strength. Thank you to the 4 County Coalition for having me this weekend, we had some great conversations about moving Wisconsin forward.

Wild rice - Manoomin - is sacred to the Ojibwe people. And should be to us all. It's the only grain native to North America. Harvests have declined significantly, largely due to #ClimateChange. @wisdems.org www.wpr.org/news/vulnera...

You cannot cut a trillion dollars from Medicaid without kicking eligible Americans off their health care. Period.

The GOP’s Big Ugly Bill is going to cause havoc across Wisconsin, but we’re going to fight every day to take back the majority and reverse this disastrous legislation. That’s why we need representatives like Congressman Pocan who stand up for their constituents.

❌️Town Halls with Constituents ✅️ Tweeting over 600 times in one month and going back through years of Facebook posts to be a troll That’s #wi03 rep. Derrick Van Orden.

Wisconsin Republicans have been working against the interest of Wisconsinites all year, but Wisconsinites are not sitting by and letting that go unchecked. See some of the ways Wisconsinites have been fighting back!

It's the best time of the year, folks! 🍎 I'm proud to wrap up week 1️⃣ of my annual statewide back-to-school tour. I can't wait to do it all again for week 2️⃣!

Join us in the office tomorrow as we write post cards in support of elections & causes happening across the U.S. Bring a can of fruit if you are able to donate to our Food Drive!

Ripon, Wisconsin Hands Off Our Democracy Monday, September 8 & 15

Thanks WisDems! Our Food Drive continues this month. We are collecting canned fruit for St. Joseph Food Program.

Over 20,000 of Scott Fitzgerald’s constituents are at risk of losing health care under the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill that he voted for. Fitzgerald does not care if his constituents have health care.

👏👏👏👏

Every Democratic Representative and Senator has signed on to support the recently introduced “Build A Stronger Wisconsin” package, four bills that will help strengthen Wisconsin’s overall economy during a time of rising costs. https://www.shorturl.at/2pT2b
