Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.

Brad Schimel has repeatedly taken the side of his special interest donors - from suing to overturn the ACA, to obstructing a gun safety law. We need a WI Supreme Court Justice who supports Wisconsinites no matter the cost, and together we can reject Schimel at the ballot box on April 1st. #BadBrad

Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win. This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law? To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.
