Republicans’ so-called ‘big beautiful bill’ that will force over 270,000 Wisconsinites to lose their health insurance is now making it harder for Wisconsinites to access reproductive healthcare.

There’s nothing ‘beautiful’ about that.

Wisconsin Democrats put focus on courts, Congress to block Planned Parenthood defunding

Attorney General Josh Kaul is asking Congress or the courts to block a law that would deprive Planned Parenthood of Medicaid funding.

Republicans are trying to take away the tax credits that lowered healthcare costs for millions of working Americans by an average of 44 percent in 2024.

We should be doing everything we can to make healthcare more affordable for working folks and families.

Every Wisconsinite deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare. Period.

Folks should never have to choose between life-saving healthcare and keeping a roof over their heads.

At a time when too many are feeling the pressure of rising costs, Trump's budget threatens to make healthcare significantly more expensive for thousands of Wisconsinites.

Under Trump's proposed budget, the average healthcare premium will increase by 148% for thousands of Wisconsinites

Opinion | 'Toxic Tom' Tiffany eager to do Trump's bidding

The northern Wisconsin representative is a prime example of the Republicans who have abdicated their responsibility as a check on an out-of-control president.

While families and communities face devastating cuts to federal programs left and right, in Wisconsin, we’re working to lower costs for working families.

I was glad to visit Partners for Community Development in Brown Deer and highlight our state's work eliminating the sales tax on utility bills.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.
