Wisconsin's farmers have been the backbone of our state for generations, and Trump's whiplash on reckless tariff taxes and trade wars are going to crush them. I'm urging Republicans in Congress to stand up for Wisconsin farmers and put an end to the chaos.

BREAKING: Judge reinstates AP's access to Oval Office in blow to White House
Judge sides with AP over White House ban for press coverage
The AP's case served as a litmus test for how far the Trump administration could push the bounds of the First Amendment in its efforts to control its press coverage.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.
That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."
#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions:

Trump’s USDA has put thousands of farmers in an untenable limbo, by not honoring their signed contracts. Farmers need the money they planned on and are owed. Last night, Senate Republicans blocked my amendment to protect farmers. It’s not acceptable to abandon farmers this way.

Trump is a damn child. He didn’t consult with economists. His imbecilic, retaliatory tariffs are hurting every American.
Congressional Republicans can stop him and reverse his stupid, dangerous, economy destroying policies at any time.

The steep increase after 2008 can be traced back to the disastrous Citizens United decision.
Since 2010, massive amounts of money has been flowing into politics and our government has been serving the interests of the ultra-wealthy.

BREAKING: Just 100 billionaire families poured a record-breaking $2.6 BILLION into the 2024 election.
That’s 2.5x the $1 BILLION spent by individual billionaires in 2020.
Now they’ve come to collect trillions in tax cuts while we foot the bill.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
