We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.
Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Hey everyone,
I see a LOT of people so furious at Dems they're registering as Independents.
I get it. I really do.
Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.

This is what a bunch of Democrats in the Senate just voted for:
"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.
And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.
The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.
