Great news! I’m excited to announce as part of this past year’s funding process, I secured more than $10 million for local projects throughout our district.

There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone.

Republicans have been getting walloped in special elections all year, so they want to make it damn near impossible to vote!

I will be voting NO and urge every one of my colleagues to do the same.
The SAVE Act would require every American citizen to show a passport or birth certificate and government ID to vote.

146 MILLION Americans do not have a passport.

69 MILLION women do not have a valid birth certificate due to surname changes.

The SAVE Act is an anti-voter bill.

Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” Republicans in Congress said lowering prices was their top priority.

More than a year into Trump's second term and one thing is clear: they lied and you’re paying the price.

While you’re getting ready for the Super Bowl, remember that Trump’s tariff taxes made your day WAY more expensive.

Throwback to the time Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent couldn’t answer a question that’s covered in Economics 101: Who pays tariffs?

Here’s what was likely going on inside his head.

Great news! Time ranked @uwmadison.bsky.social among the top 20 universities in the world. IN THE WORLD!

I’m honored to have secured hundreds of millions of dollars for our incredible institution and look forward to seeing it thrive for years to come.

A new report shows that Trump’s tariff taxes have cost the average Wisconsinite in my district $1,960.

No one considers a prison their home.

Yet prison gerrymandering counts incarcerated people as residents in places they don’t call home, giving power to regions of the country and elected officials who do not value their concerns.

This week, I voted once again to NOT fund ICE. They are a rogue agency that must be held accountable.

Trump and Musk decimated USAID. Estimates show this has already led to 1 MILLION preventable deaths. The short documentary, Rovina’s Choice, tells one of those stories.

Trump can bring USAID back at any time. Choosing not to is cruelty for cruelty’s sake.

Trump’s attempt to 'take over' and 'nationalize' voting is blatantly unconstitutional, and we won’t let it happen.

There is a lot going on, and sometimes it’s hard to keep track. For today’s podcast, I had a great discussion with @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social on how to make sense of it all, including ICE, tariffs, Greenland, and more!

A short recap of what happened in the last year:

1. Republicans ended the Affordable Care Act tax credits
2. Premiums rose for nearly every American
3. Fewer Wisconsinites signed up for health insurance in 2026

ICE is terrorizing our communities.

Democrats are fighting to impeach Kristi Noem, provide no more funding for ICE, and hold them all accountable.

If you’re looking for some good news, Democrats keep winning special elections. Just this past weekend, voters flipped a Texas state Senate seat with a 31-point swing. The American people are ready for change!

Over the weekend, five-year-old Liam and his father, Adrian, were released from ICE custody. This is a great example of why it's so important to keep up the public pressure!

Don Lemon was released after a judge ruled that Lemon had "no evidence" of any criminal behavior. Trump’s authoritarian attempts to intimidate and silence journalists won’t work!

Imagine if Trump devoted even half this energy to lowering costs for the American people.
