What a very ironic thing to do during the Christmas season. Maybe he’s not really as Christian as he says he is? 🤔

U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany criticizes 'billionaire loophole' but voted for law that created it • Wisconsin Examiner
Spending on statewide elections has grown substantially in part because of an overhaul of Wisconsin's campaign finance laws adopted in 2015.

Well, they did it. Republicans voted against continuing the tax credits for the ACA. This means tens of millions of Americans will see their health care premium payments increase right after the first of the year. Republican priorities hurt everyday Americans every day.

As Credits Are Set to Expire, Poll Shows Most ACA Exchange Participants Can’t Afford Even Modest Increases in Health Costs
Senate Democrats will force a vote next week on whether to extend tax credits for people on the health exchange.

Glenn Grothman doesn't care if you have health care. Maybe it’s time for him to find something else to do besides ignoring his constituents’ needs in WI-06. Want to learn more? Join us at 10:00 AM at the CoCoDems office in Portage to meet the people running against ol’ Glenn.
December 10, 2025 at 10:27 PM
Hey CoCoDems! Hope the snow isn’t keeping you down. We’ll be at the Portage office tomorrow (December 10) postcard writing and popcorn munching. And Saturday (December 13) is the monthly membership meeting. And we’re always there on Thursday’s with a hot cup of coffee. Stop in and see us!

Hey CoCoDems! Hope Thanksgiving was great! Here’s another chance to break bread with your friends and colleagues. Note the updated schedule below:

Here’s a snippet from today’s NYT article on what to know about the administration’s plan to stop recommending the Hepatitis B vaccine for babies. Again, the administration’s proposed policies are adversely affecting children. Please trust your pediatrician. They are honor bound to do no harm.
December 4, 2025 at 3:04 PM
So, here we go again. The administration has found another way to undermine our most vulnerable citizens. This time it’s either give us your private data or don’t eat. Remember, this hurts kids, too. Our food drive continues at 315 DeWitt St. Drop off goods between noon and 5:00 on December 4. 🙏🙏

Way to go, Governor. Well done! And shout out to Montello for helping keep people fed especially this week.
Love this man - he works so hard for Wisconsin residents.
I stopped by the Marquette County Care & Share Food Bank in Montello.

Food pantries like this have been on the frontlines of making sure our neighbors have the food and support they need despite all the chaos in Washington. It was great to visit to learn about their good work.

Saturday, December 13th 10:00 a.m. 315 DeWitt St. Portage. The CoCoDems are hosting a forum/Q&A with the 6th CD candidates. Come hear what they have to say!

“…when moms in Wisconsin and their babies are put at risk, their health and well-being is put at risk, because they do not have adequate health care in the year after they have given birth, it will be Robin Vos’ fault.” Thank you, Rep. Neubauer for your candor.

Congratulations to the Democratic Party of Crawford County for their HUGE donation to the Couleecap Food Pantry.

Crawford Dems raised $2300 and collected over 500 pounds of food. Both donations and food will help Coulee CAP distribute an additional 70 food baskets for the Thanksgiving holiday.

“Estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) published in August suggest that, as a result of the changes, more than 3 million Americans could lose assistance within the next few years.”
SNAP is back, but millions of Americans could lose benefits due to new restrictions
Just as SNAP benefits were reinstated for millions of Americans following the reopening of the federal government, many are now set to permanently lose them.
