Wisconsinites have made it clear: They cannot afford their health care costs to skyrocket.

Republicans have made it clear: They will shut down the government instead of lowering Americans' health care costs.

Derrick Van Orden. Terrible Congressman. Terrible human being.

He's on this list. (Lower right corner)

After Charlie Kirk assassination, Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden fans the flames • Wisconsin Examiner Instead of showing leadership and calling for calm, Rep. Van Orden capitalized on a horrific assassination to fan partisan hate

#WI03 Rep. Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 197 times about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk, many of which are personal attacks, invitations for civil war, and calls for violence. He is going completely unchecked by his own party as he pours gasoline on an open flame. shorturl.at/O7EJc

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.

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.
