Wisconsinites will believe it when we see it. Clearly, President Trump and Congressman Tiffany are continuing to play politics with emergency aid that’s meant to help communities recover in the wake of disasters like tornadoes and floods. That’s Complete and Total Bullshit.

Today, 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline’s “Press 3” option to help LGBTQ children is back up and running. The Trump administration never should have taken this lifesaving help away in the first place.

Farmers who have worked hard and played by the rules are now on the verge of financial collapse because the war in Iran is squeezing them on all sides. It doesn’t have to be like this — the president is choosing for it to be like this.

Even with sky-high diesel prices, kids still have to get to school, groceries still have to be delivered to stores, crops still have to be harvested, and garbage still has to be picked up. President Trump's out-of-control costs hurt everyone.
