Thanks to @markpocan.bsky.social for giving residents of WI-03 representation when DVO won’t! This is what a congressman looks like.
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…

Hmmm, if only we could've seen this coming....
American soybean farmers don’t have a single order from China as they head into harvest season. China usually buys 25% of the entire crop.
Crisis looms for the farmers and there’s only one man responsible.

The only fool we see here is Tom thinking he represents the interests of Wisconsinites.
He cares more about the southern border than about his own northern district. He’d rather rant and rave than represent; Tom is not for us!

Tom Tiffany continues to bluster while farmers pivot to alternative means of maintaining a financially-viable way forward; maybe if he actually did anything to help farmers they wouldn’t have to transition their land.

Tom Tiffany “represents” one of the highest Native Nation populations in Congress.
This is embarrassing and out of touch- whether it’s pandering to Trump for a run at Gov, or huffing and puffing in Congress about culture war issues, Tom is wrong for Wisconsin ❌

These tariffs are having impacts on our friends and neighbors, and it’s not just folks rural folks who are suffering the consequences.
Trump’s tariffs are hurting Wisconsin farmers, and Wisconsin Republicans don’t care.
Democrats like Senator Brad Pfaff and Representative Jenna Jacobson do care and are committed to working for everyday Wisconsinites, not billionaires. www.news8000.com/news/politic...

Fact check: Yes, nearly 25 cents of every dollar spent via SNAP goes back to farmers
Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service tells us how much of every dollar spent on food at home goes back to farms.
