The Trump Administration is busy baselessly firing tens of thousands of federal workers, including thousands of our veterans. Here in Wisconsin, we welcome work and talent.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

If you're furious at Dems who are not fighting, help the Dems who are.

We're going up against Elon Musk and the GOP machine in Wisconsin on April 1.

Throw yourself into electing Susan Crawford and beating Brad Schimel—and you'll send a message to the whole country.

If only our system included a body set up to do effective oversight of the executive branch. If only we had...a Congress.

Wait, you say we HAVE a Congress?!

We have a Congress In Name Only. This is primarily due to Republicans putting party over democracy. But Democrats could say and do more.

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."
