If you care about abortion access, voting rights, and the future of Wisconsin, you should care about the WI Supreme Court election! We can’t let conservatives who want to ban abortion and roll back our rights take control of the court. 🗳️ Vote for Judge Susan Crawford on April 1.

Andrew J. Beard (1849-1921) was born into slavery but became one of the most brilliant inventors. Even before working for various rail companies, he invented a flour mill, several plows, and a rotary steam engine. However, his most famous invention is the Jenny coupler. #BlackHistoryMonth

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

This week, the late John Lewis would have turned 85. A dear friend and a hero of mine, it was a privilege to work alongside him in Congress. As we honor his legacy, let us continue fighting for justice for ALL and making some "good trouble" in the process.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

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.
