I’m enthusiastically endorsing Ben Wikler for DNC chair because I know him and he knows how to win. Ben and his team have been organizing and communicating all over, nonstop, in a tough state. Tammy Baldwin won. 14 state legislative flips. Let’s do this everywhere.

I'll keep standing up to Wall Street and Big Pharma for Wisconsin in the Senate | Opinion While it is a new year and a new term as Senator, my job is the same: Show up, listen, and work with anyone to deliver for you and our state.

Touching tribute, from one Wisconsin hero to another. Thank you Tammy Baldwin for serving with dignity and distinction, and building on Herb Kohl’s legacy as a soft-spoken and hugely effective U.S. Senator. We are grateful for your leadership!

Take it from Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer: Ben Wikler is the right person to lead the DNC, and has the winning track record to prove it.

Can confirm. 414 peeps beware.

Joe Biden’s departing gift for Donald Trump is an Iran on the run.

From Syria’s Assad, who’s about to fall, to Hezbollah & Hamas, who’ve been devastated by Israel’s military, Iran’s regional presence is disappearing.

The question now is what’ll Trump do w/ this advantage for US national security.

Do I like Shaka Smart, Kam Jones & this Marquette team? Yep, quite a bit.

Is there any doubt who I’m rooting for today? Nope, none whatsoever.

Go Badgers!

Black Republicans feel left out of Trump’s 2nd-term picks As President-elect Donald Trump fills out his Cabinet and closest advisers, African American Republicans ask why more Black people haven’t been selected.

This seems to be a common refrain from lots of people who voted for Trump believing that somehow this time would be different.

The more things change…the more Jewish Americans continue voting Democratic.

I can vouch for the 👇

Proud that @thejcpa.bsky.social joined the Reform & Conservative movements and rabbinic networks, Hadassah, @ncjw.bsky.social, and other Jewish groups in urging Congress to reject this dangerous bill.

Congress is voting on a bill targeting pro-Palestinian groups. Israel's example proves it's a terrible idea Congress is voting on H.R. 9495, a bill targeting pro-Palestinian groups. Israel's own example shows how dangerous its precedent is.

Daniel Sokatch warns of the anti-democratic dangers of H.R. 9495, with chilling lessons from Netanyahu’s campaign targeting human rights orgs in Israel

Why American Jews didn't join the Trump wave ***

One of the things I’m holding onto: Strong support across the American Jewish community for Kamala Harris -

71-26% overall
80-17% among women
62-36% among men
83-14% Reform Jews
66-32% Conservative

Democracy dies at fancy conferences featuring people who enable fascists.

The more things change…the more Green Bay versus Chicago stays the same. Go Pack!

So it looks like they renamed it “ex” for millions of reasons!
