"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

While we’ve made progress, women—especially women of color—still don’t have pay parity. If these tariffs stay in place, rising costs will hit women and their families hardest.

We must keep pushing for equity.

Whether it's volunteering at a local school or taking soup to a sick neighbor, improving the welfare of others can also improve our own physical and mental health, a sizable body of research shows.

We broke the Wisconsin GOP's super majority in the state Senate. In the state Assembly we made significant gains and came within reach of a majority.

Together, we made our path forward brighter here in Wisconsin.

Together, we will continue to work to drive our state forward. tinylink.net/NajzW
