Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there who do the hard work of killing the spiders, mowing the grass, and fielding the wiffleballs. Love you dad and I miss you.

My mom was always dancing, no matter what she was doing. She never failed to put a smile on my face. I love you mom. Happy Mother's Day to all moms who deserve more than just a day for all that you do.

The disabled are often excluded from being able to experience the beauty of nature. More needs to be done to make sure that our outside spaces, especially our parks, provide enjoyment for all. washingtonpost.com/travel/20…

Students who are peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights should not be subject to violence at the hands of the government. They have a right to protest, whether you agree with the protest or not. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

I was proud to be Senate Lead on @Rep_Jimmy’s bill to end non-compete clauses in Wisconsin, but like most good workplace reforms, Republicans did not give it fair hearing.
I am thrilled the Biden Administration has stood up for workers’ rights by passing this nationwide!

Republicans have absolutely failed in their primary responsibility as elected officials. Every day, the people of Wisconsin are being exposed to these cancer-causing chemicals and Republicans do nothing. This is the definition of politics over people and it's disgusting.
BREAKING: Republican lawmakers were a no-show today for the special meeting I called to release $140 million to fight PFAS statewide and stabilize healthcare access in Western Wisconsin after recent hospital closures.
Am I angry about that? The answer's yes.

No, lack of access to housing causes homelessness. Lack of adequate income causes poverty. Moral judgement does nothing to aid those in need.
"Sin is the root cause of homelessness," Supervisor Jeff Weigand said at last week's County Board meeting. He explained more in an interview Monday, while other supervisors expressed disdain at the concept. Click the pic for video and details: madison365.com/sin-is-the-ro…

Terrifying that SCOTUS is challenging a safe medication like Mifepristone based on right-wing junk science.
Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and life-saving form of health care for Americans across the country. We have to stop Republicans who are using the courts to push their extremist agenda.

The Affordable Care Act saved my life. It inspired me to run for office. We need to expand the ACA here in Wisconsin!
Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.
Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.”
But then something else happened: it actually worked.

“Bad things” like the bipartisan policy 44/50 states already have to expand postpartum coverage for new moms from 60 days to a year that Vos singlehandedly stopped from becoming law in Wisconsin?
Yeah, really sinister stuff he’s heismaning 🙄
“Why do you keep doing this?” @wispolitics1 asks @repvos, the longest-serving speaker in Wisconsin history
Vos cites his favorite president, Calvin Coolidge, says he wants to "stop bad things from becoming law," says he doesn't want Wisconsin becoming Michigan or Minnesota

One of the harder parts of being disabled is having to learn to depend on others. To need the generosity of strangers. It is both a painful loss of independence but an opportunity to see people at their best. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

House Democrats made history by capping the price of insulin at $35 per month for seniors and lowering health care premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
We are committed to bringing down the cost of healthcare for everyone! 📉

The positive impact of Main Street Bounceback grants across the state of Wisconsin is undeniable. After reading the testimony from people all over Wisconsin it’s clear these investments make a profound difference.

Paid leave is a critical component of our infrastructure.
Just like roads and bridges, building a care economy is essential for job preservation and economic growth. By investing in care policies, including PFML, we can support both Wisconsin workers and businesses. – at Wisconsin, USA

BREAKING: a last minute hearing MONDAY proposing a 14 week abortion ban.
We don’t normally have Monday hearings so why, you might ask? After gutting the mammogram bill last week, they’re taking another swing at WI women—on the anniversary of Roe v Wade.
Their playbook is thin.

.@GovEvers is focused on expanding access to affordable child care, addressing our state's chronic workforce challenges, and supporting working families.
Here's what Republicans in the Legislature are working on instead ⬇️
ALT Republicans’ Back-to-Session Recap: Threatening to impeach a Supreme Court justice, Voting to take away historic increases for our kids and our schools, Fast-tracking a bill to ensure Legislature-picked and Legislature-approved map drawers for redistricting, Trying to illegally fire the state’s elections administrator, Allowing critical funding for child care providers to run out
