At a time when Wisconsinites are struggling to make ends meet, MAGA Republicans' budget bill will increase everyday costs and eliminate thousands of jobs. Our families and our economy cannot afford this—but still @derrickvanorden and @RepTiffany voted yes.commonwealthfund.org/publications/i…
Please join our grassroots coalition for a town hall with special guest Rep. @MarkPocan on Thurs, July 31 at 5:00 PM CT at the Prairie Performing Arts Center in Prairie du Chien. Seating is limited. @derrickvanorden has also been invited to attend.
"If people lose their nutrition assistance, their food stamps, & are no longer able to purchase nutritious food for their families at grocery stores. They are then going to have to rely on food pantries & food banks. &, again, they’re at capacity," said @SenatorBaldwin.…
As Republicans like @derrickvanorden try to lie, mislead us, and cover up their role in passing a budget that includes some of the most devastating cuts to healthcare and social services in U.S. history, we cannot take the bait. 📲 Make sure they know no peace at 202-224-3121.
Americans are footing the bill for an unnecessary trade war, grocery prices are rising, and inflation is up. Trump came into office promising to lower costs. So far, he’s done the opposite. cnbc.com/2025/07/17/tru…
Instead of using our tax dollars to fund child care and education, the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature has spent over $26M in taxpayer dollars to pay for their anti-voter legal battles. They would rather attack our rights than fund our lives. jsonline.com/story/news/pol…

While Wisconsin families are already struggling with rising costs, Republicans like @RepTiffany just voted to make matters worse. From raising healthcare costs to higher energy bills and the elimination of thousands of jobs, Trump's budget only delivers for the wealthy few.
I’ve been traveling the state and visiting food pantries that are already struggling to feed all the hungry families in our communities. Sadly, it’s only going to get worse when more families lose their food stamps because of Republicans’ budget bill. civicmedia.us/news/2025/07/1…
Serving burgers on the grill is a classic summer staple. Thanks to Trump's tariffs, which @derrickvanorden and @BryanSteil voted to support, this summer staple is much more expensive this year. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/b…

While the top 0.1% get their tax cuts, Republicans’ bill will shutter our hospitals, increase drive and wait times for everyone, and strain our already overworked doctors and nurses.
Trump slashed the National Park Service—cutting 24% of permanent staff and forcing rangers to do triple-duty as EMTs, firefighters, and janitors. Our parks aren’t thriving, they’re surviving. Barely. deseret.com/the-west/2025/…
Under the MAGA Budget Bill, Planned Parenthood faces cuts that will be devastating for thousands of patients seeking essential healthcare—like cancer screenings. Tell Congress you are a part of the majority that supports Planned Parenthood at 202-224-3121.wpr.org/news/family-pl…
JUST IN 🚨: Department of Justice says the former officer responsible for the death of Breonna Taylor should serve one day – only 24 hours – in prison. Breonna Taylor deserves justice – this sentencing recommendation is an insult to justice, Breonna’s life, and all who love her.
So much for lowering prices on Day One. With budgets already stretched thin, Wisconsin households can't afford President Trump’s reckless tariff taxes and trade wars. Full stop.
Inflation rose last month to its highest level since February as Trump's tariffs are pushing up the cost of a range of goods. apnews.com/article/inflat…
While our families struggle with the rising cost of groceries, Republicans like @derrickvanorden voted for the largest cut to food assistance in U.S. history—which will increase food insecurity and worsen the food affordability crisis all so the 1% can get another tax break.
