Congressman for WI’s 2nd district, former Progressive Caucus Co-Chair. Small business owner. Labor union member. Tired of X.
Great weekend one year out from the November 2026 elections.

Stopped in Monroe, Darlington and Mineral Point. Great people ready to take back the US House. State Assembly & Senate, Governorship, AG, Treasurer & Sec. of State.

Wow. @derrickvanorden is in the wrong Capitol today. He’s in Madison lying about his vote to cut SNAP by over $150 billion in the Big, Ugly Bill, rather than bring in DC doing his job.

He admitted he didn’t ask for an earmark to help a veterans facility in his district.

AWOL.
October 29, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Just wait.

Now he’s saying $300 million without any Congressional approval.

Ridiculous.
October 23, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Wow. Just wow.

Madison’s No King’s rally doubled in size from the last one. People want their democracy, not a monarchy.

Way to go, Badgers!
October 18, 2025 at 10:17 PM
Sun Prairie always delivers for democracy!

No kings. No tyrants. No demagogues.

People love our country more than anyone individual.
October 18, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Even in the most rural parts of Wisconsin, people don’t want kings. Great turnout in New Glarus!

People are united against Trump.
October 18, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Great turnout in Janesville, Wisconsin today for the No Kings rally!

People love our country, but dislike that some would choose an individual over it.

The people united will never be defeated.
October 18, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Tomorrow. Be there for America’s future, Wisconsin.

No Kings.
No Monarchy or Autocracy.

3 more Townhalls in WI’s 3rd district today, making it 7 in less than ten days!

@derrickvanorden has NEVER done an open public town hall in 3 years.

People are upset over his votes to cut healthcare from 15 million people and increase everyone’s rates.

Derrick was AWOL again.
October 17, 2025 at 12:42 AM
Hey Derrick Van Orden, there are a lot of people in your district that would love to talk to you in person. If you decide to leave the basement, come on down to Platteville.

Great townhall today!
October 16, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Today! Thursday

If you live in:
Platteville area
Black River Falls area
Stevens Point area

Come to a Congressional town hall to learn why 15 million people will lose their healthcare & ALL of us will pay more, due to @derrickvanorden’s support of the Big, Ugly Law. Join us!
October 16, 2025 at 11:57 AM
One day to the first open public townhalls in 3 years in Platteville, Black River Falls & Stevens Point!

Hear how @derrickvanorden and the GOP voted to raise your healthcare premiums & take healthcare away from 15 million people.

Join me! I’m doing 7 town halls in 10 days. DVO - none in 3 years.
October 15, 2025 at 12:06 PM
Two days til people in Platteville, Black River Falls, and Stevens Point can finally hear from a member of Congress after 3 years. Derrick Van Orden is AWOL.

Join us on Thursday.
October 14, 2025 at 2:52 PM
If you live in Platteville, Black River Falls or Stevens Point - or surrounding areas - hear about how the GOP is either cutting your healthcare or raising your premiums, all because of the Big Ugly Law they voted for.

Derrick Van Orden is MIA in his own district.

I’ll hear from you. Thursday.
October 13, 2025 at 7:59 PM
What could be better than doing four town halls in one day in Derrick Van Orden’s district like we did this week after he’s done none in 3 years?

Doing 3 more in a day this week!

If the GOP cancels votes, will get the information out about the cuts to healthcare they’re doing.
October 12, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Three town halls in Western Wisconsin in representative Derek Van Orden’s district today so far. One more to go.

People are upset about increasing healthcare costs and 15 million people losing healthcare access, as well as the Trump tariff taxes we are all paying.

And guess who was a no-show…
October 7, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Today is the day, Western Wisconsin.

See what a real Congressman does. Listens to their constituents. Something your elected rep has never done - a public town hall.

Join us in one of four spots today!

The GOP may be on their 3rd week of paid vacation. Dems aren’t.
October 7, 2025 at 12:50 PM
I see Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 20 times already by 10:43am on his third week of paid vacation.

I invite him to join me in his district, doing his job, tomorrow in four cities. X can wait.

This is what a real congressman does, FYI.

Shutdown. Healthcare. Tariffs. More.
October 6, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Hey Western Wisconsin/3rd Congressional district

The GOP run Congress just took ANOTHER week of vacation when they should be protecting your healthcare and reducing rates.

Want to know more about what your member of Congress ISN’T doing? Attend a meetup with me on Tuesday!
October 5, 2025 at 1:35 PM
By the way, here’s the receipt on what I just said about bait. From GOP leadership:
September 20, 2025 at 1:19 PM
Great Town Hall in Prairie du Chien tonight in @derrickvanorden’s district. Too bad he was a no-show.

Lots of concern about the big ugly law that he voted for. People don’t want healthcare, food assistance, and more cut to give Elon Musk a tax break.

People not happy.
August 1, 2025 at 12:05 AM
This Thursday, July 31, join us at 5pm for a town hall in Derrick Van Orden’s district, even the town he lives in - Prairie du Chien.

Let’s discuss the Big Ugly Law. It’s really ugly.

And let’s see if Derrick can go 5 minutes down the street to do his job.
July 28, 2025 at 5:11 PM
June 19, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Same as true of the Big Ugly Bill.
