Congressional Republicans are refusing to extend the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.
@americanprogress.bsky.social estimates that Wisconsinites’ healthcare premiums will increase by 148% on average if they expire.
Today, Wisconsin legislators helped me get that message out there!
To honor @govevers.wisconsin.gov's decades of standing up against special interests and fighting for Wisconsinites, here’s a fun #MagicMonday throwback.
Taking away funding for local television and radio stations will jeopardize critical emergency alert services. I had an amendment to stop these dangerous cuts. Republicans blocked it.
I can’t believe I have to say this but shutting down the Department of Education is a bad idea. Wisconsin teachers, parents, and kids are going to pay the price for this. apnews.com/article/trum...
The time for action is now.
We’re hosting a town hall to let Republicans know that their big ugly bill will destroy Wisconsin families.
Join fellow fighters in Wisconsin. Stand up against Republican tyranny. July 16 at 6 PM.

“The people of Wisconsin expect state government to work—and work better—for them. For years, a small group of Republican lawmakers overstepped their power, holding rules hostage without explanation or action and causing gridlock across state government. It’s pretty simple—a handful of Republican lawmakers should not be able to single-handedly and indefinitely obstruct state agencies from doing the people’s work. “Wisconsinites want to protect our constitutional checks and balances. Today’s Wisconsin Supreme Court decision ensures that no small group of lawmakers has the sole power to stymie the work of state government and go unchecked. This is an incredibly important decision that will ensure state government can do our important work efficiently and effectively to serve Wisconsinites across our state. “My promise to the people of Wisconsin is that I will always work to do the right thing and get things done. Ensuring that the Legislature is held accountable for following the law and our state’s constitution is a victory for the people of Wisconsin.”
BREAKING: SCOWIS today, in a lawsuit I brought against the Legislature years ago, decided that a handful of Republican lawmakers cannot single-handedly and indefinitely obstruct our state agencies from doing the people’s work. A victory for Wisconsinites.

Happy Fourth of July
Happy Fourth of July, Wisconsin! 🇺🇸
Kathy and I are wishing everyone a safe, fun holiday weekend.
Donald Trump just bombed Iran without any authorization from Congress.
Congress must immediately pass Rep. Massie's War Powers Resolution to block Trump from dragging the US into an unconstitutional war in the Middle East.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
We celebrate Juneteenth to honor the end of slavery and commit to the ongoing fight for equality and justice.
I can think of no good reason why this administration would want to take away resources to find lifesaving cancer and Alzheimer's cures.
Turns out, their reason is not good at all: to pay for tax cuts for corporations.

I believe in an America where billionaires pay their fair share and normal people can afford to get by.
POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare.
VOUGHT: Correct
POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.
BREAKING: @seiu.org nurses just kicked off a strike at Madison's Meriter Hospital, where management is refusing to include safety and patient/staff ratios in the contract
This is a good place to follow for information about the Trump administration attack on health care.

Republicans are running scared, passing things in the middle of the night by razor thin margins.
Their Bonanza for Billionaires goes to the senate next, with wide disagreements and different procedural rules.
This battle is not yet lost. Keep your voices loud and proud.
Ripped headline from The Washington Post that reads: GOP tax bill on track to add more than $2.5 trillion to U.S. deficit, headline from The Hill that reads Republican tax bill would add $3.7 trillion to the national deficit, ripped headline from CBS News that reads GOP bill could add trillions to the U.S. deficit, some experts say. Here’s what to know.
Bad, bad news.
Clearly, this isn’t about efficiency or saving money. It’s about giving tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations at the expense of our kids, families, seniors, and veterans by cutting critical programs like Medicaid.
Hot off the heels of our huge Wisconsin State Supreme Court victory, liberal Judge Chris Taylor has announced her candidacy for 2026.
The difference here: A win by Taylor over odious conservative incumbent Rebecca Bradley would FLIP this seat and give us a 5-2 majority.

This is great news, but we could be doing even more to bolster Wisconsin’s workforce.
My budget would have restored collective bargaining rights and prevailing wage protections, repealed right to work, and bolstered protections for workers. Instead, Republicans gutted it.
As a Co-Chair of @equality.house.gov, I'm working to end hate & protect LGBTQI+ people from discrimination, violence, and harassment. #IDAHOBIT
Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. who oversees the CDC and NIH doesn't want you to listen to his medical advice, especially around lifesaving vaccines. 👀
Republicans want to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, so they're pushing plans that will force kids and families to go hungry or without healthcare.
Unbelievable.
