We need to vote out every spineless Republican supporting Trump. They are not doing their jobs!

Stop the Tech Bro colonization of our state. Tell Meta, Amazon, QTS, Google, Microsoft and all the rest to lay off lying about data centers as they reap the profits and leave our state forever scarred.

My daughter and my grandkids are in the middle of this horror in Minneapolis. My grandkids are scared to go outside. The youngest has nightmares about ICE grabbing him. I say to Kristi Noem and all ICE officers: “You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?”

Failure to condemn the president’s actions today is Glenn’s way of saying he’s giving up; too timid to defend the Constitution he swore to uphold. Buh bye, Glenn. Prepare to be flipped!

The President supports extrajudicial killings of alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela, but he pardons a convicted drug trafficker in the U.S. Is Trump serious about protecting Americans from drug traffickers or is he just so mentally unstable he doesn’t know what he is doing?

I sent a similar letter to Senator Ron Johnson as I did to Glenn Grothman regarding the President’s call for the execution of U.S. military veterans who now serve in Congress. I should have ended it with “Mr. Johnson, have you no shame?” But that line was already taken regarding another WI Senator.

…in the face of the Commander in Chief calling for the execution of United States veterans? When is enough enough, Mr. Grothman? Surely, this must disturb you as a man of faith. Surely, you will call this out as a step too far even for this President. Surely, you will do what is right, sir?

Or is this just "Trump being Trump" and it's all in a day's work for you? If you had served your country as did Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, and Maggie Goodlander did, would you be silent…

Is it his recent call for the execution of members of Congress - your colleagues - who served honorably in the United States military and who recently reminded members of the military of their duty under the Uniform Code of Military Justice to not obey illegal orders?

I just wrote to Glenn Grothman and I am curious how he will respond. I’ll post the response I get. Here’s what I wrote:

What is the red line which Trump would cross where you would finally find your moral courage to oppose him?

How Thanksgiving dinner will be impacted by rising costs Prices for key Thanksgiving staples like potatoes, meats, fresh vegetables, and bakery products are all up.

Republicans are constantly claiming that grocery prices are "way down", but we know thats not so. Here’s why our 2025 Holiday meal prices are through the roof!

Republicans: just can’t trust ‘em to look out for everyday Americans. They aren’t even looking out for their own political supporters.

“We all do better when we all do better.” Fairness to build opportunity and reward honesty. That’s what Wellstone’s words mean to me. Something @democrats.org are fighting for now as Republicans plot to make health care under the ACA unaffordable for working Americans.
