It’s simple: Thanksgiving is more expensive this year because of Republicans’ failed economic policies.
Rising costs of food, travel, and everyday essentials are forcing Wisconsin families to cut corners this holiday season.
This isn’t the future we were promised.

No one should go hungry this holiday season.
But instead of investing in real solutions to combat food insecurity, MAGA Republicans like Tom Tiffany voted to gut millions from SNAP programs that WI families rely on.
It's clear our families cannot afford the MAGA agenda.

Tom Tiffany has consistently put corporate interests ahead of the tribal sovereignty of Wisconsin’s Native communities.
From cutting affordable healthcare to gutting climate protections for tribal lands, it’s clear where his priorities lie. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

That’s all the time Wisconsin’s historically lazy State Senate bothered to show up this year—all while ignoring major issues facing our state, including rising costs.
We deserve better than WI Republicans blocking progress and pushing an unpopular anti-abortion agenda.

Rising costs of housing, food, and healthcare are forcing Wisconsinites to make impossible sacrifices.
But instead of supporting families across the state, WI Republicans ended the year off with zero solutions to lower costs—instead focusing on undermining public schools.

Republicans in Congress like Derrick Van Orden had every opportunity to invest in affordable healthcare, but instead they shut down the government and are still blocking an extension of vital ACA tax credits.
Demand they take immediate action at 202-224-3121.

A Great Gatsby-themed party for the ultra-wealthy while working families lose food aid and healthcare?
Nothing says “looking out for everyday people” like balling out on champagne towers and caviar for your billionaire buddies while families struggle to put food on the table.

Republicans in the WI State Legislature have continuously blocked increased funding for public education, and now local schools, students, and teachers are suffering.
Their solution?
Close schools and force districts to consolidate—leaving Wisconsin families to pay the price.
