92% of the money earned from tariffs in the FIRST Trump administration was spent compensating U.S. farmers for their losses. I think it’s safe to say in an ag heavy state like Wisconsin that our farmers would rather be earning their fair share instead of receiving government handouts.

Saturday, May 3rd Events! See more at www.wisconsinresist.com

A budget is a statement of values and Trump’s shows exactly who he is - a jerk who only cares about himself. $18 billion in cuts for public health. Heating assistance for low income families eliminated entirely. Who the hell is asking for this?

A week ago today, FBI agents arrested Judge Hannah Dugan on courthouse grounds on outrageous charges. Immediately, Trump officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi began to celebrate. But this is not going well for them, and it’s going to age like milk on a Miami sidewalk. 🧵

Massive protest march in Milwaukee on May Day. Reporter @isiahholmes.bsky.social with the words and images from the day.

Come check out our production of 'Noises Off' at Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre. I'll be in the show as Tim Allgood. The show is directed by my favorite person in the world @booksnplants.bsky.social, we'd love to see you! www.wrctheatre.org/next-on-the-...

Three Assembly members form Wisconsin’s first Legislative Asian Caucus. @bspears.bsky.social reports.

You can't represent your district if you're hiding from it. In the past two weeks, 85+ Democrats held in-person town halls. Barely a dozen Republicans bothered.

If we want healthier communities, we have to ensure every Wisconsinite—including folks in our rural communities—have clean, safe water to drink. President Trump and Elon Musk are putting the health and safety of our rural communities at risk. www.wausaudailyherald.com/story/news/l...

The latest from @wisconsinwatch.org: Yes, the GOP-controlled Wisconsin Legislature could remove Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, who is embroiled in an immigration-related case; Yes, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers told state workers not to assist ICE immigration agents. wisconsinwatch.org/series/fact-...

Prices 📈 Stock market 📉 Welcome to the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

Tomorrow!! Please swing by and say hello!

The #MayDay walkout and march to #Wisconsin State Capitol led by hundreds of students and workers; protests happening across Wisconsin today. Written for @civicmedia.us: civicmedia.us/news/2025/05...

Did the GOP gerrymander local aid?

Wisconsinites are already struggling with high healthcare costs– we need our leaders to invest in affordable care, not take it away. But, WI Republicans in Congress like Rep. Tom Tiffany and Rep. Derrick Van Orden are plotting to gut Medicaid at the expense of their own constituents.

Today’s Marathon softball game vs. Assumption, scheduled to be broadcast on the Sports 2 Stream of wxco.fm and on the Civic Media app, has been postponed until tomorrow. Hear the game tomorrow starting at 4:35 pm on the Sports 2 Stream of wxco.fm and on the Civic Media app. #wissoftball

Wisconsin families are seeing the real-life impacts. Car seats, strollers and other essential items for new families are among the items impacted by Trump’s trade war with China.

Immigrants belong here. They are our neighbors, coworkers, and friends. We will never stop fighting against chaotic, unfair, and inhumane immigration policies that harm and destabilize Wisconsin's families, communities, and economy. #MayDay #DiaSinInmigrantes

Today, despite the rain, we marched with Voces de la Frontera, Milwaukee Turners, and thousands of our neighbors in solidarity with workers, immigrants, and the oppressed everywhere. May Day is a beautiful day!

#Milwaukee! 💙 #MayDay #DayofAction

Halting more than HALF of Wisconsin’s Head Start funding is all part of their plan to eliminate the program altogether. I’m fighting this tooth and nail because Wisconsin families need access to affordable child care – not it ripped away from them. wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/baldw...

A demographic slump for Wisconsin, a national economy tainted with uncertainty. @erikgunn.bsky.social hears from two economists at the annual forecast for state bankers.

Our District 19 office in Madison will be *closed* for May Day (5/1). If you’re able, please join us for Voces de la Frontera’s May Day march starting at 733 W. Mitchell St. at 9:30am and ending at Ziedler Union Square. It’s already raining so please dress appropriately!

📢 It's #MayDay! 📢 From coast to coast, essential immigrant workers, students, families, union members and allies are set to take action today to celebrate the achievements of the labor movement and fight for a future that’s fairer and more just for all workers.

If you're protesting this May Day, know your rights.

May Day Alert! Wisconsin Democrats are meeting the moment. Across the state folks are getting together and fighting to make their communities better. Join an event near you, the time to make a difference is now: wisdems.org/volunteer

According to Reps Jayapal and Swallwell, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, including WI’s Tom Tiffany, Scott Fitzgerald, and Glenn Grothman, voted today to allow the Trump Admin to deport U.S. Citizens. I never want to hear any of those 3 talk about the Constitution ever again.

Had the chance to connect with folks from Teamsters based in West Allis to talk about strengthening workers’ rights, improving workplace conditions, and standing up for working families. I’m proud to fight for working people every day!

It was inspiring meeting with two classrooms at Gaenslen School this morning for career day. They had great policy ideas and questions on housing, community safety and food security. Shout out to Liam, who lobbied us for higher school staff salaries. We agree, Liam!

Your #DiversityMonth reminder that Trump and his MAGA allies are attacking DEI to divide us and distract from their failing policies. We need more leaders like Dr. Jill Underly to stand up to their agenda and show that diversity is our greatest strength.

Wisconsinites are WORRIED and FED UP with the influence of money in politics.😠 That's why Wisconsin Democracy Campaign is working to rein in money in our elections + increase transparency in spending. 💰 Read the poll: bit.ly/WisconsinMoneyPoll #Wisconsin #GetMoneyOut #MoneyInPolitics #Polling

Good morning to everyone except the people doing this

Wisconsin #MayDay events so far! (Please let me know if i'm missing any!) www.wisconsinresist.com

Once again, the good folks of Shawano and Menominee showed up to voice their concerns and seek solutions. From immigration to Head Start and everything in between, we shared experiences and built community tonight in one of the deepest red counties in Wisconsin…and we’re just getting started!

Watch: 📺 🖥️ 💻 📱 U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-7th Congressional District, discusses the Trump administration's actions on setting and changing tariffs, spending cuts on personnel and programs, and revoking student visas.

I thought we’d be speaking more narrowly about the unwarranted and unconstitutional arrest of Judge Dugan today on NPR’s Morning Edition, but I’m glad I could make the case to abolish ICE as well. www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...
