Fighting back against Trump’s regime is the only thing that has improved Democrats’ approval rating. We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender.” Tell your Democratic senators to continue holding the line to keep healthcare costs down and protect coverage for millions of Americans. 👇

Watch @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring victory speech.

This is the future the Democratic Party must embrace.

Turn the volume up.

Mamdani speaks.

"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I say his name, as we turn the page that abandons the many in favor of the few."

Zohran kneeling, smiling and giving the thumbs up, next to a chalking on the sidewalk that says "Have You Voted Today" and "Make History, Vote Zohran, Nov. 4, 6am to 9pm"

Well have you?

At a time when working families are already struggling to make ends meet and access basic food necessities, we should be focused on keeping Head Start and child care center doors open and making sure child care is affordable so parents and loved ones can stay in our workforce. Each day Republicans in Congress continue this shutdown and refuse to work across the aisle to get the federal government back to work, the more we will see the direct consequences on Wisconsin’s kids, families, seniors, veterans, and so many others across our state,” said Gov. Evers. “Families are going to be scrambling to find care and 80 dedicated staff will have to go without paychecks at a time when they need them most. It’s reckless and this shutdown has to end—Republicans in Congress must step up and start putting America’s and Wisconsin’s kids and families first.”

BREAKING: Two Head Start facilities are going to have to pause services due to Republicans' reckless government shutdown, leaving over 275 Wisconsin kids without care and 82 staff without paychecks.

Republicans must start putting kids and families first and end this shutdown.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

In their first six months of service, Dane County Emergency Management’s two harm reduction vending machines have helped put 2,085 free items in the hands of those who need them. These machines expand the community’s access to supplies that can help prevent or treat a potentially fatal overdose.

Today’s the day! Hope to see you there!

Headed out to a #NoKings protest today? Know your rights before you go and share with your friends and family attending!

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.

His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

The hepatitis B vaccine has sharply cut infections in children. Why are some against it? The CDC's vaccine advisory panel is set to discuss and possibly vote on the vaccine at a meeting next week.

Vaccination against hepatitis B at birth, which began in 1991, has spared a generation of Americans from this virus, which destroys the liver and causes liver cancer.
We'd lose all that progress if we waited until age 12 to vaccinate them, as Trump has suggested.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year.

Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

Hopelessness is manufactured. Hopelessness is part of Neo-Liberalism. They want you to believe there is no hope and no possible alternative.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations.

It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops.

CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

Full time work should always pay enough to afford housing, food, healthcare, and saving for the future.

Yes.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Plumes of pollution in industrial environment

🚨 It's the LAST DAY to submit a public comment opposing the Trump administration's repeal of the endangerment finding, which protects us from pollution.

This rollback will make us all sicker while enriching Big Oil CEOs.

Take action now: regulations.gov/document/EPA-HQ-OAR-2025-0194-0093.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Shared clinical decision-making is very far from a strong universal COVID vaccine recommendation. There are access and insurance barriers. Vaccine access should not depend on what state you live in. Write your members of congress and let them know this is not ok.

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) ACIP develops recommendations on how to use vaccines to control disease in the United States.

As of 8am CDC's ACIP website does not have the proposed vote language for today's COVID vaccine recommendation posted. How is the public able to engage and provide informed comments? I testified before Senator Cassidy and @sanders.senate.gov on Wednesday- this is not radical transparency.

CDC temporarily revokes remote work approvals for employees with disabilities The CDC revoked permission for employees with disabilities to work from home, at least temporarily

BREAKING: The CDC is temporarily ending remote work. The decision leaves scores of employees in the lurch, even forcing people with disabilities with high-support needs to come into the office. #disability

Williams defeats Landgraf in DeForest primary election Alicia Williams defeated William Landgraf in the Village of DeForest special election Tuesday night.

Politicians who remove popular and effective public health measures may not keep their office for long. Reason prevails in DeForest, Wisconsin, where public outcry after village board recently voted to remove fluoride from the drinking water led to a recall. www.wmtv15news.com/2025/09/17/w...
