Trump is waging war against the American Dream. Mr. Aviles was waiting to welcome his son home after deployment on the USS Abraham Lincoln when he was arrested by immigration authorities. This is not how we treat men and women in uniform. This is not how we treat their families.

Mr. Aviles has a permit to work in the United States and is a dedicated father. While Trump’s broken promise not to start a war in the Middle East is hammering families at the gas pump and the grocery store, he is rolling back immigration protections for military families.

I am calling on the candidates in the Democratic primary for Governor to organize an additional debate in early August to give the voters more time to become familiar with them and their stances.

The majority of the people I have spoken with are still undecided, and I believe an additional televised debate would help voters so they can compare the candidates’ stances and make a well-informed decision about who is the most prepared to hold the highest office in our state.

The cost of Trump’s blunders is in. Wisconsin households are paying over $2000 more than they would have if not for Trump's tariffs, his war in Iran, and congressional Republicans’ failure to take action on health care costs.

Smoke from wildfires in Minnesota and Canada is expected to move into Wisconsin tonight and tomorrow, creating unsafe air quality, and prompting our @WDNR partners to issue a statewide alert, in effect from noon today, July 14, until noon Thursday, July 16.

Trump attacked the Constitution, and lost. He asked SCOUTS to ignore the plain language of the 14th Amdt. but they rejected him. The 14th Amdt. has been law for 150 years, every court has upheld the obvious interpretation of its first sentence—children born in the US are citizens

That fundamental value is one of our nation’s greatest strengths and is the reason many Americans call our great nation home.

America desperately needs bipartisan immigration reform, like the bill Trump sabotaged during his most recent campaign for reelection. Trump has focused on tearing families apart and violating the rights of the American people. He has made our country weaker, not stronger.

It’s time for Republicans to stand up to their president and overturn any veto of the housing bill. Our right to vote is non-negotiable and will not be held hostage.

The chaotic and contradictory decisions by the Trump Administration continue to increase the cost of living and make life harder across the board for Wisconsinites including our families, consumers, and farmers. news8000.com/lifestyle/money…

Senate Democrats were ready to ban partisan gerrymandering at today's special session. We are ready to lower gas, grocery, and housing costs. Republicans failed to show up and have not scheduled any more legislative sessions in 2026. Time for a change!

Expanding access to occupational licenses for Dreamers opens doors to the American Dream, addresses workforce shortages, and boosts our economy. Legislative Dems fought hard for this bill. Thanks to @TimCarpenterMKE and @SenChrisLarson for their advocacy on this legislation!

A bright spot from the Senate's final regular session was the vote to extend access to occupational licenses to Dreamers. Senator @TimCarpenterMKE and @SenChrisLarson were among the champions of this bill. Appreciate their advocacy!

Reverend Jesse Jackson was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement, an icon who showed us that nonviolent direct action can change the world It was an honor to meet him, and it is an honor to carry forward in his legacy of fighting for social justice and civil rights. #KeepHopeAlive

Reverend Jackson passed away this morning. He suffered from Parkinson's Disease, a very difficult illness that also impacted my mom. My thoughts are with his family.
