Our farmers work hard every day to put food on our tables, and they wouldn't have to be "bailed out" if it weren't for Trump's reckless and chaotic trade wars in the first place.

Trump administration will send $12B in bailout money to farmers hurt by trade war
Most of the package is earmarked for row-crop producers. It aims to help farmers — especially those who grow soybeans — balance out losses from high costs and a trade war with China.

Come January 1st, Wisconsinites like Anna in Rice Lake will be seeing their health care costs double. That’s right. But we still have time, and my Republican colleagues need to join me to stop this.

Especially during difficult times, may we replace darkness with light, despair with hope, and sadness with joy.

Ellie's remarks captured what the Learning Tree is all about: celebrating those who help our kids learn, grow, and be their best.

The future of our state is in good hands with students like Ellie.

Time and time again, when Republicans have the chance to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that will keep healthcare affordable for millions of Americans, you know what they do?

They choose to let folks’ healthcare costs double, triple, or even, quadruple instead.

High-speed internet is a necessity for how we learn, work, and stay connected in the 21st Century. We worked hard to secure federal investments, and now, we’ll be able to help more than 175,000 homes and businesses get online across the state.

The sign says it all! When you shop at our local small businesses, that's an investment in our neighbors and our local economies.

By deliberately withholding critical inflation data, Donald Trump is keeping the American people in the dark about the real state of our economy.

But people know the truth because they feel the squeeze every day. The American people deserve leaders who will level with them.

Many families are already struggling to make ends meet, and thanks to President Trump's tariff taxes, this year, those holiday presents and meals are going to be even more expensive. 👎

I was proud to sign Bradyn's Law into law today in honor of Bradyn Bohn, a high school student who died by suicide after he was preyed upon online.

Together, we're making Wisconsin safer for every kid, family, and community, and that includes holding online predators accountable.
