How dumb do you have to be to brag about how your entire Party voted against funding healthcare for over 30,000 of your own constituents?
While moderate members of the GOP were able to stand up for the ACA, @derrickvanorden and @bryansteil are sticking with their party bosses and are all but certain to vote against funding health care. https://bit.ly/4an9DDU
4 Republicans defy Speaker Johnson to force House vote on extending ACA subsidies
Four centrist Republicans have broken with their party's leadership over health care. They've signed onto a Democratic-led petition that will force a House vote on extending for three years an enhance...

For over 15 years, Republicans have tried to gut health care protections and strip coverage from people with pre-existing conditions. Today’s vote makes their priorities crystal clear: billionaires over working families.

Today’s GOP vote was a direct attack on working Wisconsinites. They’re raising costs, cutting care, and selling out to their corporate donors, leaving working class people in the dust.

In response to Democrats' over-performance in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Devin Remiker released the following statement:
Republicans like Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden pretend to care about education when it is politically convenient for them, but are currently silent on our rural schools not receiving funding. https://bit.ly/4obthWN
Gov. Evers demands release of delayed federal school aid for 20 Wisconsin school districts
Federal aid for tribal school districts is on hold amid the shutdown. Gov. Tony Evers is urging U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon to release it.

🚨WAKE UP🚨 Trump just said “there will be others” after Comey’s indictment, promising to go after Democrats directly. This is authoritarianism happening in real time, it isn’t hyperbole, it is happening HERE and NOW. We must not be silenced, we must organize, and we must win in 2026.
The only a** wipe Tariff Tom Tiffany cares about is himself.
💥WTF💥 Tariff Tom Tiffany thinks you shouldn’t be able to afford toilet paper. We think you shouldn’t be governor, Tom. Watch our new ad here ⬇️
Former WI GOP Assembly Majority Leader standing up for free speech. A sincere thank you for sticking with your principles Jim Steineke!
Proud to have helped build something special here in Wisconsin through year-round organizing in every corner of the state and relentlessly competing in every election. Persistence pays dividends and the permanent campaign shall continue.

This would have been unthinkable only years ago, only two incumbent WI Supreme Court justices have lost re-election since 1968. Rebecca Bradley retreating in the face of near-certain defeat is proof of how @WisDems and our amazing candidates have changed the game. Forward!
Right-wing Justice Rebecca Bradley says she won’t seek re-election to the WI Supreme Court—confirming speculation she knows she can’t win. Wisconsinites have repeatedly rejected extreme judges who attack our rights and serve billionaires, and she knows it. abetterwisconsin.org/rebecca-brad...
I was honored to be a part of @waukeshadems.bsky.social most recent meeting. Folks who are on the ground every day are how we lay the groundwork to win. Thank you to everyone who showed up and keeps showing up everyday.
These tariffs are having impacts on our friends and neighbors, and it’s not just folks rural folks who are suffering the consequences.
Trump’s tariffs are hurting Wisconsin farmers, and Wisconsin Republicans don’t care. Democrats like Senator Brad Pfaff and Representative Jenna Jacobson do care and are committed to working for everyday Wisconsinites, not billionaires. www.news8000.com/news/politic...

Bradley in 2017 on strengthening recusal rules: "Every judge in Wisconsin should be offended by this. It attacks their integrity and character." Only thing being attacked was her bribery beach trips, her lack of integrity & character is plainly obvious. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

On Friday I released a Chair Update letting my fellow Wisconsin Democrats know, we must stand together to defend our democracy. And then over the weekend I headed up north where folks were gathering to do just that, and I look forward to keeping this momentum going! 📸 @cheqdems.bsky.social picnic

Trump is now re-enacting the bit from Smiling Friends with an actual war criminal. Letting Putin shrug off his atrocities while we roll out the red carpet is embarrassing for the Leader of the Free World.
REPORTER: President Putin, will you stop killing civilians? PUTIN: *taps ear*
Thanks to the GOP, Wisconsinites’ access to affordable healthcare is in jeopardy. Our chair @devinremiker.bsky.social shared this helpful resource to see just how awful the impacts will be, with rural areas especially suffering 👇 www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid/med...

Trump’s tariffs are hitting Wisconsin, and it’s not going to be pretty. Republicans don’t care though.
Insanely inappropriate for the Marathon DA to hand this case to a clearly biased partisan like Eric Toney. How will anybody be able to trust the outcome of this “investigation”? Can’t wait to see the excuse Toney comes up with to not charge the guy who did a crime photo op. shorturl.at/1DDmK
