Well, they did it. Republicans voted against continuing the tax credits for the ACA. This means tens of millions of Americans will see their health care premium payments increase right after the first of the year. Republican priorities hurt everyday Americans every day.

Glenn Grothman doesn't care if you have health care. Maybe it’s time for him to find something else to do besides ignoring his constituents’ needs in WI-06. Want to learn more? Join us at 10:00 AM at the CoCoDems office in Portage to meet the people running against ol’ Glenn.

Here’s a snippet from today’s NYT article on what to know about the administration’s plan to stop recommending the Hepatitis B vaccine for babies. Again, the administration’s proposed policies are adversely affecting children. Please trust your pediatrician. They are honor bound to do no harm.

So, here we go again. The administration has found another way to undermine our most vulnerable citizens. This time it’s either give us your private data or don’t eat. Remember, this hurts kids, too. Our food drive continues at 315 DeWitt St. Drop off goods between noon and 5:00 on December 4. 🙏🙏

Way to go, Governor. Well done! And shout out to Montello for helping keep people fed especially this week.
Love this man - he works so hard for Wisconsin residents.
I stopped by the Marquette County Care & Share Food Bank in Montello.
Food pantries like this have been on the frontlines of making sure our neighbors have the food and support they need despite all the chaos in Washington. It was great to visit to learn about their good work.

“Estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) published in August suggest that, as a result of the changes, more than 3 million Americans could lose assistance within the next few years.”
SNAP is back, but millions of Americans could lose benefits due to new restrictions
Just as SNAP benefits were reinstated for millions of Americans following the reopening of the federal government, many are now set to permanently lose them.

The monthly meeting also hosted @slloyd555.bsky.social and Randy Krause who spoke together about the economic pressure on farmers forcing them to “go big or get out” of the way of life many WI families have known for generations. This results in expansions like CAFOs and consolidation of farms.
