Today, I joined my friends @GovEvers, @SenatorBaldwin, and @RepGwenMoore to discuss how nearly every Wisconsinite will see higher healthcare costs if the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire. Weāre all fighting to make your healthcare more affordable!

Uhh... so is @SpeakerJohnson saying he's not Speaker and @RepJeffries is? And @SenSchumer is in charge of the Senate? What the heck is he talking about?!
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

This is bad, but Democrats are fighting like hell to make sure you donāt have to pay these massively increased costs.
BREAKING: According to new data from @wisconsinoci, if Republicans fail to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, Wisconsinites are going to pay hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands more dollars a year for their healthcare coverage. This is really bad, folks.

Itās time for House Republicans to get back to DC next week, reopen the damn government, and prevent healthcare costs from soaring. I wonder if they willā¦

COURT WIN! A federal court unanimously ruled against the Trump administrationās attempt to delay decisions on veteransā claims that they were unfairly denied service-related benefits. A win for our veterans and the American people!

Instead of focusing on lowering costs, Trump decided his ātop priorityā was demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House. So damn out of touch.

Iāve teamed up with @RepStenyHoyer, @SanfordBishop, and @RepGlennIvey on a letter to the Trump administration demanding they testify at a public hearing to get answers on why the hell they ignored the permitting process and demolished the East Wing of the White House, among other
At a time when Americans are concerned about the cost of living, rising health care costs, and ending the Republican shutdown, Trump's focusing on demolishing the White House's East Wing ā without approval from Congress or public transparency. The Trump Admin must answer for

Federal workers are going without pay during this shutdown. Yesterday, I brought pizza to some furloughed federal workers to hear their stories and reiterate my support. This could be resolved tomorrow if Republicans would return to Washington to vote with Democrats on a bill

While our civil servants go without pay, Trump has gone full steam ahead on construction of his gaudy ballroom, including demolishing the East Wing of the White House. Thatās why Iām co-sponsoring the White House BALL Act, that will halt all construction on White House grounds

Trump claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025, and the media largely took him at his word. Now, itās nearly 50% complete. https://t.co/F3goOyvLEf But the Project 2025 agenda is deeply unpopular. Itās why millions joined together last weekend to protest a wannabe king!

The super-rich want us fighting and divided, left vs. right. The real divide is billionaire elites vs. working people.

FoodShare is one of the most effective tools we have to fight hunger in Wisconsin and support local economies. If the government remains shut down into November, this critical support system will be at risk. Itās deeply disappointing that working people are being put in this
