Wealthy elites know that tax cuts for the super-rich are extremely unpopular. It’s why they try to distract us with scapegoats like immigrants, trans people, and a catch-all like DEI. Don’t fall for it.

Trump and Musk slashing entire government agencies is NOT about waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s about finding cash for a $4.5 trillion tax break for a small group of out-of-touch billionaires, including themselves. It’s not right vs. left. It’s wealthy elites vs. normal people.

It's genuinely unfortunate that Republicans didn't show up to hear the concerns of Wisconsin farmers who are very worried about what Trump & Elon cutting their federal funding & contracts could mean for their livelihoods and the future of their family farms.

It's been a busy week in the district! Just got back from a town hall hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union, where not a single Republican who was invited bothered to show up. youtube.com/shorts/bJ5kU...

Just held a town hall with the Wisconsin Farmers Union. They invited all the elected officials in the area. Unfortunately, no Republicans showed up, including Rep. Van Orden and Rep. Tiffany. youtube.com/shorts/R3_X8...

If Trump and fellow Republicans destroy the post office, don’t ever let them forget it. This would be devastating to every American. Period. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This chart is exactly why Congress needs to pass @pocan.house.gov's ELON MUSK Act.

Great bold plans from @govevers.wisconsin.gov! He wants Wisconsin to be the first state in America to audit insurance companies for denying healthcare claims. The American people are tired of getting ripped off by their health insurance companies, and it’s great to have a governor who listens.

Elon Musk is using DOGE as an excuse to sledgehammer entire agencies that help the poorest and everyday people. Why? To free up cash for a $4.5 trillion tax cut for a small group of his billionaire buddies.

The House GOP is working on a massive tax cut for their wealthy donors and those who can afford to be a member of Mar-a-Lago. Not you.

Not a single person has ever said to me, “Oh yeah, I want to cut off funding for lifesaving research.” Thanks to the Cap Times for calling out this lunacy.

I saw firsthand the incredible work Head Start does, providing child care for families who need it most. Out-of-touch billionaires like Trump and Musk want to slash funding for programs like this for a $4.5 billion tax cut for their ultra-rich buddies.

Just visited with scientists at @uwmadison.bsky.social. Trump’s action to gut the National Institute of Health will make it harder to get cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's and will even stop active research projects... (1/2)

Elon is looking at more than just your social security number. Yes, really. They now have access to the social security database and are clearly looking to see what they can slash from your hard earned payments.

It’s not rocket science: an unelected billionaire should NOT have access to your personal financial info! If just 3 House Republicans join us, we can pass a bill that stops Musk from accessing your private info. The House GOP is siding with their favorite billionaire donor over everyday Americans.

House Republicans are working on a massive tax cut for the richest Americans at the expense of everyone else. At the end of the day, Democrats, Republicans, independents, (pretty much anyone who doesn’t fly private) will all be affected. I’m fighting back against this class warfare. Are you in?

Last week Donald Trump went to the Super Bowl. This week he went to the Daytona 500. Maybe he can find time next week to lower costs.

I'm not against going after waste in the government and the Pentagon is the biggest offender! Nearly $900 billion a year in spending and has never passed an audit. I wonder if Elon Musk will take on the Military Industrial Complex or if he’s scared he’ll lose all those Pentagon contracts?

A 10% cut to CDC staffing! So when egg prices are at an all-time high - and increasing - due to the bird flu, this is Trump's response to helping consumers?

So… Musk and Trump fired 1,000 employees at the Department of Veteran Affairs which provides veterans with health care. Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our nation’s veterans. Who the hell is asking for this?

This was a hell of a week! Puppet master Elon loomed over Trump in the Oval Office and the House GOP started to figure out how to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Spoiler alert, probably by cutting vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

OOPS: House Republicans just admitted that Social Security is next on the chopping block. They want to give the ultra-rich a $4.5 trillion tax cut — and make middle-class families foot the bill.

Trump illegally fired a member of the NLRB, a nonpartisan board that helps working people stand up to abusive employers. Unacceptable! Join us by speaking out & putting pressure on Trump to reverse this idiotic, illegal, and illogical decision.
