Congressman for WI’s 2nd district, former Progressive Caucus Co-Chair. Small business owner. Labor union member. Tired of X.
Remember, the real problems are people like @derrickvanorden, who voted to cut SNAP food assistance and gut healthcare.
He is making your life more expensive.
He is the one taking food from kids and healthcare from Americans.

I sure as hell hope Senate Dems don’t take two oxen & a goat, with a promise of four chickens in the future, in trade to reopen government.
It’s about healthcare.
It’s about SNAP assistance.
It’s about Trump stealing money Congress approves.

GOP cuts SNAP food assistance by over $180 billion in Big, Ugly Law.
Congress created a contingency fund to deal with issues like the shutdown. Even Trump’s Dept of Ag agrees on Congressional intent.
Trump refuses to follow & halts food assistance. GOP majority does nothing. 🤮

As bad as the GOP cuts to healthcare are, Trump’s Tariff Taxes hit us all hard every day.
Housing has remained high. Groceries & durable goods are up due to tariffs. Energy & healthcare are up due to the Big, Ugly Law.
What’s the priority? Our wallets or Trump’s ballroom?

Waking up knowing Trump, MAGA & clueless House GOP delivered a huge election victory last night.
People want to be able to afford groceries & other things (tariffs), want healthcare (Big Ugly), want food for poor (Big Ugly), and more.
Pretty simple. GOP works against you. 🇺🇸

Great weekend one year out from the November 2026 elections.
Stopped in Monroe, Darlington and Mineral Point. Great people ready to take back the US House. State Assembly & Senate, Governorship, AG, Treasurer & Sec. of State.

If @SpeakerJohnson decides his GOP members deserve a 7th week of paid vacation next week, I think I’ve got done plans for WI’s 3rd Congressional district.
Hard to believe I do more work in @derrickvanorden’s district than he does.

Wow. @derrickvanorden is in the wrong Capitol today. He’s in Madison lying about his vote to cut SNAP by over $150 billion in the Big, Ugly Bill, rather than bring in DC doing his job.
He admitted he didn’t ask for an earmark to help a veterans facility in his district.
AWOL.

Today would be a great day for the GOP in Congress to show up in DC & work, negotiating reopening of the government, a healthcare fix, a farm bill & much more.
No one gets 6 weeks of paid vacation time to tweet. Every Republican should have to answer for their inaction.

This is the sixth week of paid vacation for House Republicans who refuse to come to Washington.
I’ll be there hoping they will negotiate to reopen govt, fix their healthcare attacks, pass a farm bill & much more.
If they don’t show up, they aren’t doing their jobs. Enough.
