BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump Administration...again. If they think they can take back $225 million already promised to the state for critical health services to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, they better think again. More here ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Soooo True!!

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land” in the occupied West Bank on Monday, and he was then detained by the Israeli military, activists on the scene said.

Milwaukee labor leader Dan Bukiewicz: ‘Scary times for the American worker.’ This Administration is now pausing work on the Microsoft data center supported by the Biden administration being built on the failed Foxconn site. Trump is punishing Wisconsin workers for his failures.

Trump's tariffs will negatively impact almost 300,000 Wisconsin jobs—the highest percentage of any state. 77% of those affected voted for the person creating this harm. Truth matters. Let's talk. @trygveolson.bsky.social, @toddallbaugh.bsky.social

Remember this all the time!

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I’ve spent my life fighting for Wisconsin’s kids and schools. So you can bet I’m going to fight like hell to protect our schools, our kids, and their futures.

Wisconsinites should be able to get the healthcare they need when they need it. But Republicans in Washington are poised to gut healthcare to help pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, which will hurt our rural communities the most. stateline.org/2025/03/12/t...

Because they HATE veterans.

Can anyone explain to me how these two pictures are different? @ushmm.bsky.social?

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Undermining efforts to support local farmers, feed vulnerable communities, and improve the resiliency of the food supply chain. The textbook definition of efficiency… www.jsonline.com/story/news/2...

Trump has spent nearly 30 percent of his Presidency on a tax payer funded golf outing. Looking at the deteriorating economy and the dysfunction of his Administration, you have to wonder if it wouldn’t be better if he stayed on the golf course.

We have constitutional checks and balances for a reason—to make sure no one has sole power to make decisions unchecked. Republicans in Congress are enabling President Trump and the Trump Administration to erode our constitutional checks and balances. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/u...

#GVerse Watch & Repost!!! Two criminals made a deal to steal the Presidency to keep each other out of prison. And they’ve been telling us on tape that they did this for months. #RemoveTrump #deportelonmusknow

“ If our farms aren't constantly going in and out of business, that's good for the whole food system, for all communities everywhere,” says Dr. Kitty O’Neil. She joins us, along with farmer Patrick Brown, to discuss frozen USDA funds.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

History shows that when women raise our voices and organize, we drive real change. This #InternationalWomensDay, let’s celebrate the power of collective action and keep pushing for a more just and equitable world.

There’s been zero explanation for this given but it seems exceedingly likely it’s pure retaliation for the Maine governor challenging Trump. Really sick. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...

It's Friday Fish Fry across Wisconsin, folks!

These Dem members of Congress are eager, I'm sure, to tell you why voted in favor of censuring their colleague Al Green (TX09):

“The word Medicaid isn't even in the bill”   IT'S IN THE MATH. Surely @SpeakerJohnson has a calculator in that fancy office of his?

That’s us, y’all. Even if you don’t depend on this programming, your family, friends and neighbors do.

What are Congressional Republicans doing about President Trump eroding our constitutional checks and balances and gutting programs that kids, families, seniors, and veterans rely on every day? Not much—except trying to make it worse. My open letter to Republicans in Congress ⬇️

We're gonna move fast and break things. Sometimes we'll make mistakes. If we remove the wrong organ we'll put it back in. We are disrupting surgery

Funniest moment last night was Trump telling farmers to “have fun” after announcing a new round of tariffs that will be absolutely hose them.

I’ve spent my life fighting for Wisconsin’s kids. I’ve been a teacher, a principal, a superintendent, and the state superintendent. I know Wisconsin's kids and our schools—this decision would be catastrophic for them. There's no question. I’m sorry, but this is bullshit.

Say something to your representatives

Look, President Trump and I agree on the goal of stopping the scourge of fentanyl from crossing the border. But, where we don’t agree are these knee-jerk, across-the-board tariffs that will crush our farmers and manufacturers and jack up costs for families. www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

We'll say it again: No, 150-year-olds are not collecting Social Security benefits. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

SCOTUS just weakened the Clean Water Act’s limitations on raw sewage discharge into our water in a 5-4 ruling. Meanwhile Trump's guest, a 13-year-old cancer survivor named DJ, got cancer from a chemical he was exposed to as a child. I'm sure the two are entirely unconnected. smh #SOTU

If they're not fit to stand with Al Green, drive them out of office and replace them with someone who is. #SOTU #3E

Whine Kampf. #StateOfTheUnion

31% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living. 36% approve of international trade. 39% approve of his foreign policy. ~ Reuters/Ipsos poll. He’s losing! Keep up the good fight! ✊🏼 #SOTU

How much did it cost to buy these politicians that blindly lick Trump’s boots? Ballpark estimate?

Was there ever a bigger Trumpian ass-kisser than Marco Rubio? Possibly only J.D. Vance, who is on record saying he might have to "hold his nose and vote for Hlilary."

Are you a scientist or student heading to a @standupforscience.bsky.social ‬rally this Friday? We want to hear from you. Tell us about yourself and why you’re going, how far you’re traveling, why you’re fired up, and whether there will be car snacks. Call or text us at (646) 767-6532.

This is just a game for Elon, but the consequences for families in Oregon and across the country are real and dire. His purge of the federal government is going to make life harder and more expensive for all of us.

#TrumpTariffs (aka national sales tax) set to go into effect at midnight Stock markets are tumbling GDP falling Prices will go up

Wow if this turns out to be an advanced inside tip from someone, it's going to really set back the years of progress the crypto community have made in carefully establishing a reputation for trust and trans- Nah, I'm just kidding, this just tracks. See you at the next pump and dump everyone!
