We all do better when we all do better. Former MN Senator Paul Wellstone
Every Wisconsin Republican in Congress voted to take away healthcare funding from the American people. And it will hit extra hard for people living in Tom Tiffany’s and Derrick Van Orden’s districts with monthly premiums rising more than 300%!

The President supports extrajudicial killings of alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela, but he pardons a convicted drug trafficker in the U.S. Is Trump serious about protecting Americans from drug traffickers or is he just so mentally unstable he doesn’t know what he is doing?

I sent a similar letter to Senator Ron Johnson as I did to Glenn Grothman regarding the President’s call for the execution of U.S. military veterans who now serve in Congress. I should have ended it with “Mr. Johnson, have you no shame?” But that line was already taken regarding another WI Senator.
November 21, 2025 at 5:29 PM
…in the face of the Commander in Chief calling for the execution of United States veterans? When is enough enough, Mr. Grothman? Surely, this must disturb you as a man of faith. Surely, you will call this out as a step too far even for this President. Surely, you will do what is right, sir?

Or is this just "Trump being Trump" and it's all in a day's work for you? If you had served your country as did Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, and Maggie Goodlander did, would you be silent…

Is it his recent call for the execution of members of Congress - your colleagues - who served honorably in the United States military and who recently reminded members of the military of their duty under the Uniform Code of Military Justice to not obey illegal orders?

I just wrote to Glenn Grothman and I am curious how he will respond. I’ll post the response I get. Here’s what I wrote:

What is the red line which Trump would cross where you would finally find your moral courage to oppose him?

Republicans: just can’t trust ‘em to look out for everyday Americans. They aren’t even looking out for their own political supporters.
Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

“We all do better when we all do better.” Fairness to build opportunity and reward honesty. That’s what Wellstone’s words mean to me. Something @democrats.org are fighting for now as Republicans plot to make health care under the ACA unaffordable for working Americans.
We remember today the words of Minn. Senator Paul Wellstone who said “we all do better when we all do better” and, who along with his wife, Sheila and their daughter Marcia died tragically in a plane crash near Eveleth, MN on Oct. 25, 2002. Five others also died.
