When childcare falls through, parents lose shifts, miss class, and fall behind. It’s not just stressful — it’s unsustainable.

Investing in universal childcare means taking care of all our kids and making sure every Wisconsinite can show up for work, school, and for their community.

What am I supposed to do without 2 weeks of childcare?

Public dollars belong in public schools.

Fran knows that vouchers are a scam. Support public education. Vote Hong for Governor.

Tom Tiffany is an extremist who cares more about enacting Donald Trump’s agenda than building a better future for working people.
He can delete whatever he wants from his website — the people of Wisconsin know he is and we see right through his BS.

Makes sense. After all, why would we want public health experts to weigh in on matters of… checks notes… public health. 🙄

Universal childcare, fully funded public schools. and transformative investment in long-term care and the care economy — being practical doesn't mean settling for less.

About $25 billion annually could end child hunger in the US.

About $20 billion could house folks with housing vouchers.

We gave $170 billion to ICE in the big ugly bill.

Instead of feeding children and housing families, our tax dollars are going to terrorize communities.

Today, Planned Parenthood will be pausing abortion services in Wisconsin.

This is the latest attack on our freedoms by the Fascist Trump Regime and the devastating effects the Big Ugly Bill.

Please remember that abortion is and remains legal in the State of Wisconsin. >>>

Abotion is and remains legal in the state of Wisconsin.

Yup

Francesca Hong 홍윤정 @francescahongwi.bsky.social · 8d

Tom Tiffany thinks Wisconsin voters are stupid, and that’s why he isn’t going to be Wisconsin’s next governor.

He’s voting with Trump to shut down the government cause he doesn’t want you to have healthcare. It’s that simple. And Wisconsin voters see right through it.

Tom Tiffany would rather shut down the government than vote to fund health care

Thousands of workers will be out of a job tonight—because Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany care more about tax cuts for billionaires than they do about working people.
