Giving DOGE staffers — who have little to no experience in agriculture — sweeping access to farmers' most sensitive data is a mistake that could put our farmers’ privacy and livelihoods in jeopardy. npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-…

I’ve heard from farmers, manufacturers, and small business owners across Wisconsin who tell me that Trump’s tariffs are crushing them. They deserve certainty, not this unnecessary chaos. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Turns out taking away Americans' Medicaid and food assistance to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy isn’t popular.

If my Republican colleagues truly wanted to rein in government spending, they wouldn’t have passed Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill that adds $3.5 trillion to the national debt.

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.

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…

Too many farmers and rural Wisconsinites don’t have anywhere to turn when they need mental health help. I’m fighting to change that with my bill and make sure help is there for them.

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…

Everyone should be able to afford their healthcare — especially our healthcare workers. I support these health professionals in their fight for fair benefits and a safer workplace. Mercyhealth should negotiate in good faith so our workers can get back to caring for Wisconsinites.

We are going in the wrong direction. Yesterday, we celebrated 3 years of the 988 suicide hotline saving lives. Today, Donald Trump is dismantling a key part of it that puts lifesaving help in reach for kids who are contemplating suicide. Just cruel. npr.org/2025/07/16/nx-…

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.

Last night, Republicans gutted funding for our local public TV and radio – something that folks in Wisconsin, especially in our rural communities, rely on in cases of emergencies like floods, storms, and AMBER Alerts. And why? Because Donald Trump told them to.

The 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline turns 3 today!

Elon Musk’s DOGE should not have access to Wisconsin farmers’ sensitive financial data. Allowing DOGE staffers to alter or cancel payments and loans with little oversight would be a blow to our farmers’ privacy and jeopardize their livelihoods. npr.org/2025/07/15/nx-…

We shouldn’t be taking away critical emergency alert services because Republicans don’t like Big Bird.

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/trump-…

Farmers’ suicide rate is 3.5x higher than everyone else, and we have to treat it like the crisis it is. Proud to partner with @SenJoniErnst to put lifesaving support within reach for rural Wisconsinites. Let’s pass it.

So much for lowering prices.

While big corporations celebrate their big tax breaks from Trump’s budget bill, Americans will see rural hospitals close, grandparents on Medicaid lose health care coverage, and hungry kids denied food assistance.

Thanks to the Republicans’ devastating budget bill, Wisconsinites will feel the pain of local hospitals potentially closing, longer wait times to get an appointment, and higher health care costs. civicmedia.us/news/2025/07/1…
