Anyone else find the attack on Iran fishy?
Just watched the Department of Defense briefing. No stated goals. Unprovoked attack. Unclear mission.
No wonder they changed the name internally to Department of War.
Attending classified briefing tomorrow. They better up their game.
I’m so surprised. 🙄
Americans Are Paying the Bill for Tariffs, Despite Trump’s Claims www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/b...
To be fair, we have to spend in-district time to know what our constituents want. One week a month isn’t excessive unless your member is in hiding.
Currently, we have gerrymandered Congressional maps in WI causing a 50/50 state to have 6 GOP/2 DEM members, not 4/4.
We can have FAIR maps like our state legislative ones.
Read the facts & SPEAK OUT. Our WI Supreme court can rule on fair maps for 2026!

Every GOP member of the House of Representatives is not in Washington this week. They are home.
Use this opportunity to ask them why they won’t stand up to Trump on his tariffs taxes you are paying, the increases in healthcare costs & his misuse of ICE.
Make them answer you.
But I didn’t. Not that hard to look it up. 😵💫
The ONLY reason Trump keeps a rogue agency like ICE in Minneapolis is to INFLAME the situation.
They’ve murdered 2 innocent people so Trump can try to get his polling numbers up.
The blood is on Trump, Sec. Noem & Stephen Miller’s hands.
Sick people. Stand united everyone. 🇺🇸
The case for fair Congressional maps in Wisconsin. Why our Supreme Court must act.
captimes.com/opinion/gues...
WI’s Congressional maps are very gerrymandered. For a 50:50 purple state, we should have 4 Dems & 4 GOP. Instead, we have 6 GOP & 2 Dems due to gerrymandering.
The WI Supreme Court can change that & give us fair maps if they prioritize a case before them. Now is the time!
Tariffs on Denmark and Allies over Greenland!
Our President is an egomaniac and moron.
Now we all get to all pay more for goods so that Donald Trump can keep flaunt his ego.
Can’t we just give him another fucking award? Wake up, MAGA!

This is better.
Watch Trump last night?
Did you look up the 25th Amendment?
Trump says affordability is a “con job”.
I guess a guy who has gold-leafed the entire oval office and is building a ballroom larger than the White House at a cost that’s 10x that of a normal ballroom wouldn’t think affordability is an issue.
He doesn’t give a damn about you. 👎
Treasury Secretary Bessent: “Trump has a solution to affordability.”
Trump at the cabinet meeting: “Affordability is a hoax by the Democrats.”
Which is it??
Your morning contemplation.
I live in the Town of Vermont, Wisconsin. Sort of confusing.
This is INSANE.
Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, reposted Donald Trump‘s social media saying Seth Meyer should be fired.
This is the same asshole who went after Jimmy Kimmel as Disney was trying to do a merger before him.
This guy is corrupt & needs to be investigated!
The Republicans that voted to reopen the government without a healthcare fix for the 22 million on the ACA and all of us paying more for health insurance due to the Big, Ugly Law, now own those increases.
If you are affected, remember who supported those cuts. 🤮
November 2026.
If @SenRonJohnson tries to get that $1 million corrupt payment that was inserted in the Senate proposal to reopen government, he needs to be recalled.
Corruption is making 8 well-connected people eligible for a payday.
Sen. Johnson must say he will refuse any corrupt payment.
I hope to be back home, but will try if I’m there. Appreciate the invite.
Remember, the real problems are people like @derrickvanorden, who voted to cut SNAP food assistance and gut healthcare.
He is making your life more expensive.
He is the one taking food from kids and healthcare from Americans.
I sure as hell hope Senate Dems don’t take two oxen & a goat, with a promise of four chickens in the future, in trade to reopen government.
It’s about healthcare.
It’s about SNAP assistance.
It’s about Trump stealing money Congress approves.
It’s about the American people.
GOP cuts SNAP food assistance by over $180 billion in Big, Ugly Law.
Congress created a contingency fund to deal with issues like the shutdown. Even Trump’s Dept of Ag agrees on Congressional intent.
Trump refuses to follow & halts food assistance. GOP majority does nothing. 🤮
As bad as the GOP cuts to healthcare are, Trump’s Tariff Taxes hit us all hard every day.
Housing has remained high. Groceries & durable goods are up due to tariffs. Energy & healthcare are up due to the Big, Ugly Law.
What’s the priority? Our wallets or Trump’s ballroom?
Waking up knowing Trump, MAGA & clueless House GOP delivered a huge election victory last night.
People want to be able to afford groceries & other things (tariffs), want healthcare (Big Ugly), want food for poor (Big Ugly), and more.
Pretty simple. GOP works against you. 🇺🇸
Great weekend one year out from the November 2026 elections.
Stopped in Monroe, Darlington and Mineral Point. Great people ready to take back the US House. State Assembly & Senate, Governorship, AG, Treasurer & Sec. of State.
If @SpeakerJohnson decides his GOP members deserve a 7th week of paid vacation next week, I think I’ve got done plans for WI’s 3rd Congressional district.
Hard to believe I do more work in @derrickvanorden’s district than he does.
Wow. @derrickvanorden is in the wrong Capitol today. He’s in Madison lying about his vote to cut SNAP by over $150 billion in the Big, Ugly Bill, rather than bring in DC doing his job.
He admitted he didn’t ask for an earmark to help a veterans facility in his district.
AWOL.
Today would be a great day for the GOP in Congress to show up in DC & work, negotiating reopening of the government, a healthcare fix, a farm bill & much more.
No one gets 6 weeks of paid vacation time to tweet. Every Republican should have to answer for their inaction.
This is the sixth week of paid vacation for House Republicans who refuse to come to Washington.
I’ll be there hoping they will negotiate to reopen govt, fix their healthcare attacks, pass a farm bill & much more.
If they don’t show up, they aren’t doing their jobs. Enough.
