New Lawsuit Alleges Wisconsin’s Congressional Map Violates State Constitution Read more here.

NEW: Wisconsin’s congressional map violates the state constitution by discriminating against Democrats, a group of voters alleged in a new lawsuit Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Unacceptable!

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

More dangerous and reckless decisions from the Trump Administration. 
 
Folks, vaccines save lives. Efforts to sow distrust in science makes our kids, families, and communities less safe.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Nursing homes for seniors are not waste, fraud, and abuse.
Health care for veterans is not waste, fraud, and abuse.
Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, and abuse.

Trump’s tax bill targets them anyway.

Thank you President Trump for endorsing my ELON MUSK Act.

Wisconsin is now involved in 16 lawsuits against the Trump administration. Wisconsin is suing the Trump admin for: Dismantling the dept. of health and human services. Dismantling AmeriCorps. Threatening to withhold funding for state and local education agencies. Capping research grant funding. Signing an executive order to change national election law. Cutting approved funding for electric vehicle infrastructure. The list is next to Governor Tony Evers

When it comes to moving Wisconsin forward, Governor Tony Evers will always fight for us.

Town hall in Stevens Point for WI-03 . Congressman Van Orden was invited but was a no-show. He is afraid to face his constituents.

DVO has got to go. We need a representative who is there - and here - for us.

While many Americans were still asleep, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed Trump’s huge, horrible mega-bill.

It might be the worst, most damaging piece of legislation I’ve seen in my nearly 60 years in politics.

Republicans’ bill will kick millions of Americans off Medicaid.

Republicans’ bill will jack up costs on groceries for Americans.

Republicans’ bill will give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in America.

This is not what Wisconsinites want.

DVO has got to go.

On June 14th...

Congressperson Derrick Van Orden was invited to this event in Stevens Point WI. He declined. Insurrectionist Van Orden is avoiding town halls and in-person meetings in #WI03 because he doesn't want to talk about the economic, societal and geopolitical damage that MAGA's right-wing agenda is causing

Emily Berge, Democratic Candidate for Congress in WI-03, spoke at PCDP HQ in Stevens Point today.

Stevens Point Wisconsin answered the call AND we will continue to answer!! We will not go quietly into the night!

Ripped headline with a "False" from Politifact of Elon Musk's quote: "Social Security is the biggest Ponzi Scheme of all time"

The world's richest man couldn't be more wrong about Social Security.

Social Security is the promise we make as a country to our seniors to be able to retire and live with dignity after working all their lives.

I will fight to protect it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Wisconsin Republicans silent on tariff oversight as colleagues push for Congress to have a say The uncertainty and financial impact of the sporadic tariff plans led a number of Republicans to seek to rein in Trump’s power.

This week the Wisconsin GOP congressmen abdicated their oversight roll as members of congress when it comes to tariffs.
 
Have they forgotten the trade war's toll on our farms under Trump 1.0? Prices tanked, exports plummeted, and family farms suffered.

Voters in #WI-03 will be watching Derrick Van Orden.

There will be electoral consequences for DVO and other Republicans if they vote for Medicaid cuts.

And Rep. Mark Pocan has held town halls in the southern part of WI-03.

Town halls are in the works.

That would include WI-03 Derrick Van Orden.

Every single Republican in the Wisconsin Congressional delegation just voted on a budget resolution to cut billions in federal funds for BadgerCare, directly endangering their most vulnerable constituents, while adding trillions to the national debt.

🚨BREAKING: U.S. House passed GOP voter suppression law. 220-208. Every Republican voted to disenfranchise millions. It now goes onto the Senate where Democrats will be able to block it.

Former Navy Seal, Derrick Van Orden, WI-03 Member of Congress, continues to hide from his constituents. Derrick should show up for in-person town halls. #townhalls
