A Better Wisconsin Together

Medicaid cutbacks will affect unpaid family caregivers, experts warn • Wisconsin Examiner Proposed Medicaid cuts will affect family members and others who provide unpaid care for people who are elderly, ill or have disabilities.

For many seniors and those with disabilities, Medicaid enables them to get paid, professional care at home.

But now, WI Republicans like Tom Tiffany voted for massive Medicaid cuts that put both caregivers and those receiving care at risk.

A green-hued background image of hemp leaves, with a screenshot of a news headline in the middle that reads “Wisconsin bill redefines hemp, tightens THC limits to crack down on intoxicating products on store shelves” Above and below the screenshot is text that reads “Nearly 70% of Wisconsinites support legalizing marijuana- but instead of moving us forward, WI Republicans are trying to further restrict hemp-derived THC products.”

Instead of listening to the majority of Wisconsinites who support legalizing marijuana, WI Republicans are trying to ban the sale of hemp-derived products—like THCA drinks—in the state.

Wisconsin’s GOP-controlled State Senate, which made headlines as one of the laziest legislative bodies in decades, wrapped up its final session of the year.

As patients see health premiums soar, Baldwin continues push for extending subsidies • Wisconsin Examiner Sen. Tammy Baldwin is continuing to push for an extension of subsidies that helped a record number of people afford health insurance.

“Every single Republican voted no on my amendment,” @baldwin.senate.gov said. “They chose to send a clear, unmistakable message that they are OK with jacking up health care costs on 22 million Americans.”

He Vowed to “Protect the Unborn.” Now He’s Blocking a Bill to Expand Medicaid for Wisconsin’s New Moms. Splitting with anti-abortion members of his own party, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has refused to join 48 other states in ensuring that vulnerable women have access to potentially lifesaving ...

Robin Vos 🤝 blocking healthcare for women.

48 other states have *already* adopted Medicaid expansion that would cover new moms for up to a year, but WI Republicans like Vos and Howard Marklein continue to block progress in Wisconsin.

Franciscan Sisters transfer land to Lac du Flambeau tribe in bid to repair boarding school legacy In a historic moment, the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have completed the first known land transfer nationwide from a Catholic instituti...

Indian boarding schools were part of a legacy of colonization and forcible assimilation of Native children designed to strip them of their culture.

For the first time, reparations have been made to a WI tribe for the harms caused by these institutions.

While Wisconsinites struggle to afford healthcare and put food on the table, this week the GOP-led Wisconsin Legislature is focusing on changing the definition of abortion instead of providing support.

Demand they deliver real solutions to lower costs at 1-800-362-9472.

Demand WI Republicans stand with everyday people over the 1% at 202-224-3121.

Republicans in Congress like Tom Tiffany are denying Wisconsin families affordable healthcare, food assistance, and relief from rising costs, but are quick to hand out new tax breaks to billionaires.

It’s clear they are on the side of the wealthy few and corporations—not us.

Maria Lazar Backs Corporate Lobbyist Written Judicial Recusal Rules Lazar, right-wing candidate for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, voiced her support for rules literally written by corporate lobbying organizations

#ICYMI: In a recent interview, WI Supreme Court candidate Maria Lazar voiced her support for state recusal rules written by corporate lobbyists—signaling she’s ready to work in favor of the special interests that wrote the rules to benefit themselves.

What is Tom Tiffany Hiding? Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Skips Another Public Forum Today marks the second time in as many weeks that Republican Tom Tiffany won’t bother to show up to a public forum for Wisconsin’s gubernatorial candidates

For the second time in two weeks, Republican Tom Tiffany has refused to show up to a public forum for Wisconsin’s gubernatorial candidates—avoiding questions and dodging accountability for his unpopular record on abortion, healthcare, and rising costs.

Demand Republicans like Tom Tiffany condemn Trump’s efforts to claw back vital food aid for Wisconsin families at 202-224-3121.

WI Republicans like Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden continue to stay silent while food assistance for Wisconsin families is under threat.

They’d rather block affordable healthcare and let Trump undo already-distributed food benefits than stand up for hungry Wisconsinites.

Most families cannot even afford a $1000 emergency expense, let alone their healthcare costs tripling overnight.

We need real solutions and Republicans like Derrick Van Orden have a duty to deliver.

Call them at 202-224-3121 and demand they extend the ACA tax credits NOW.

When it came to giving a tax break to the ultra wealthy, Republicans like Rep. Tom Tiffany were all on board.

But when our healthcare premiums could rise over 800% for some, they refuse to act to lower costs.

Shameful.

OP-ED: Wisconsin Republicans Refusing to Help Local Veterans No matter how they twist it, Wisconsin Republicans have repeatedly refused to meaningfully support our local veterans across the Badger State.

This #VeteransDay, don't forget: while WI Republicans talk about “supporting veterans,” their actions say otherwise—from Derrick Van Orden saying he hopes funding gets cut at the VA to GOP state legislators blocking support for homeless veterans.

Clearly their priorities are in the wrong place.

Wisconsin GOP lawmakers consider legal definition of abortion, separate from miscarriage care Wisconsin lawmakers heard testimony Wednesday about a proposal to define abortion in state law, which Republican supporters say will clear up fears that abortion restrictions will also affect miscarri...

Joy Goeben's bill seeking to redefine abortion is backed by Wisconsin's most radical anti-abortion groups.

No surprise—since Goeben revealed the bill is just political cover for Republicans ahead of the next election, and her real goal is to ban abortion.

We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.

Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.

It’s clear who Republicans are truly working for, and it’s not everyday people.

Demand they extend vital ACA tax credits today at 202-224-3121.

First, MAGA Republicans like Tom Tiffany gutted Medicaid funding in their budget bill. Now, they’re refusing to act as healthcare premiums spike for millions.

They’re taking healthcare coverage away from their own constituents—all while handing out tax breaks to billionaires.

Allowing gun violence to spread in our communities is a choice we don't have to keep making.

Instead of protecting our lives, WI Republicans have introduced a bill to loosen gun safety laws—ignoring calls from Wisconsinites for gun violence prevention.

Nearly 400 Wisconsin children will lose Head Start in November with government shut down Nearly 400 Wisconsin children will lose access to Head Start services starting next month if the government shutdown continues.

Wisconsin is already facing a child care crisis- but the GOP #GovernmentShutdown is only making matters worse.

Republicans are willing to put our families on the line instead of working with Democrats to reopen the government and support our communities.

MAGA Republicans gave trillions in tax breaks to their wealthy donors, sent $40B to bail out Argentina, but won’t lift a finger to help feed hungry Americans.

Millions are struggling to put food on the table due to the GOP shutdown—and Republicans like Tom Tiffany refuse to act.

While Wisconsin families face rising costs of food, housing, and healthcare, the GOP-led State Senate is refusing to address the real issues facing our state—and is on track to meet the fewest times in two decades.

Demand this historically lazy legislature do their jobs!

Tom Tiffany’s Terrible Health Insurance Plan: Less Coverage Tom Tiffany has a lot of terrible ideas, but higher costs and less coverage for critical health care services are a couple of his worst

GOP Representative and gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany recently offered his plan to cut health insurance costs—get less healthcare.

His "plan" would let insurance companies get out of covering certain services, avoid federal consumer protections, and deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.

While Wisconsin families go hungry and lose healthcare due to the GOP government shutdown—Trump is busy bailing out Argentina, building a White House ballroom, and throwing lavish parties for his wealthy backers.

Tell WI Republicans like Tom Tiffany to end their shutdown today.

Republican Abortion Bill Author Reveals Legislation’s True Intent: Attempt to Fix Their Partisan Political Problem ‘This is Appallingly Cynical Politics’

#ICYMI: At a recent event, Joy Goeben admitted that the abortion bill she authored isn’t about protecting healthcare—it’s about saving the GOP from backlash over its own extremism. She later revealed that Republicans’ true aim is prohibiting all abortion.
