The Trump administrations’ reckless rewriting of guidelines on vaccines endangers lives. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services continues to recommend to follow the evidence-based vaccine schedules published by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Let’s keep our communities and kids safe.

Today, we remember the victims of the Holocaust.

Today, Senate Democrats returned to the Senate floor with solutions to what keeps Wisconsinites up at night: rising costs, skyrocketing insurance premiums, affordable housing, and property taxes. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republicans are focused on supporting the Trump agenda. We can do better.

Thanks to Senator Mark Spreitzer and Senator Melissa Ratcliff for their leadership on legislation that strengthens local control. Both Senators are former local elected officials who know firsthand about the importance of local government and the challenges our local officials face.

Let's be clear: Congressional Republicans' refusal to negotiate an end to the government shutdown has devasting effects on our lives. If you, or someone you know, relies on Foodshare/SNAP, contact 211 Wisconsin for assistance. 211wisconsin.communityos.org

Republican Senator Howard Marklein says “farmers aren’t concerned” about Trumps policies. Really? An actual farmer said with Trump’s tariffs, his costs are going up. Canadian fertilizer is more expensive. The John Deere tractor he uses will soon be unaffordable. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/08/d...

Fewer Wisconsin children are vaccinated against measles than they were in 2013, and children in our state now have the second-worst vaccination rate for the disease in the United States. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/05/w...

The cruel and ugly bill that Congressional Republicans passed the Trump signed, will have disastrous consequences for years to come. www.americanprogress.org/article/10-e...

Democrats are clear about what is at stake in this budget. Let’s get serious about getting it done by June 30. Critical funding is on the line.

Folks, Sarah is right. Our state has faced workforce shortages for years, and we can't afford more folks leaving their jobs because they can't access child care. We must invest in child care in this budget to lower costs for families and keep our workforce and economy strong.
