Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The EPA is proposing to roll back decades of progress on attacking water pollution — abandoning their responsibility to protect water quality and limiting the effectiveness of the Clean Water Act. 

We cannot revert back to a time when pollution caused our rivers to catch fire.

Donald Trump is in Iowa today, and he probably won't mention that Iowa ranks last in nearly every economic and health care metric.

Everywhere I go, Iowans are saying things need to change. Washington is failing our communities, and it’s time we elect a Senator who will put Iowa and Iowans first.
