Under Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, disabled Americans’ health care coverage and the services that they rely on are on the chopping block. I can’t think of any way to describe this other than just cruel. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/wel…
The 'Big, Ugly Bill' will devastate Main Street small businesses by dramatically raising prices for health insurance THIS YEAR. Join us to fight back in Oshkosh with @FairShare_USA and @UnrigOurEconomy. Let's make our voices heard. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/the-sto…
🦈 Van Orden’s #SharkWeek menu: 🍽️ Health care? Bitten. 🥪 SNAP benefits? Devoured. 💸 Tariffs? Sink your budget. He’s all bite, no backbone — and Wisconsin’s paying the price. #SharkWeek2025 #VanOrdenVotes #BadVotesBite
Yep, you are reading that right: ✔️$3.4 trillion to the debt ✔️$1 trillion cut to Medicaid ✔️Millions kicked off their health care Why? Because Republicans thought they needed to rig the tax code even more for big corporations.
Trump’s tariffs will cause inflation to rise even further, making life harder for Americans who are already facing rising costs and bracing for cuts to vital programs. marketplace.org/story/2025/07/…
If you get your insurance through the marketplace, you NEED to read this.
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Join us in Prairie du Chien on July 31st for a town hall... bets on if Rep. Derrick Van Orden shows up? mobilize.us/owi/event/8139…
Over 15 million people with disabilities, including children and seniors, depend on Medicaid. Still, Republicans like @derrickvanorden voted to strip away their care and remove essential services like in-home care and adaptable education in schools. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/07/21/med…
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.
The numbers don't lie. Wisconsin workers and families will see real-life impacts from the Republican Tax Law, and none of them will be good.
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.
"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.…
“I don’t want to just survive…Medicaid helps me live a fulfilling, independent life in my community. I should be able to control my own life, just like anyone else.” nytimes.com/2025/07/21/wel…
Turns out taking away Americans' Medicaid and food assistance to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy isn’t popular.
Trump and Republicans are on the side of their billionaire donors—NOT working people, students, or people in need. apnews.com/article/trump-…
Republicans cruel bill adds bureaucratic red tape to Medicaid eligibility, which is designed to force people off their health coverage and fund their tax cuts for the wealthy.
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…
From dairy to ginseng, President Trump's tariff taxes and trade wars are hurting Wisconsin's farmers. urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/06/30/bac…
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.
