Like I’m socialist because I’m Muslim. I’m not practicing in a lot of ways anymore but the belief that you are responsible for your neighbors — your 7th neighbor as the saying goes— is so embedded in the faith and its practice.

We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.
Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.

We need to feel like we’re all in this fight together and that requires clear messaging and consistent commitment to the wellbeing of the people from our representatives.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

So, I guess it could be that the 8 wanted to see just where negotiations went, and are ready to abort if they go nowhere. And it gives the Dems a chance to say, "See? We tried."
I guess we'll find out (after a tense week).
