WOW!

It looks like Tom Tiffany, Derrick Van Orden, Bryan Stiel, Scott Fitzgerald, Tony Wied & Glenn Grothman may be off (with pay) through January.

They're not complaining 🤫

Johnson told reporters Tuesday that he’ll call the House back in session once the Senate has moved to reopen the government. He’s also stated that he’s opposed to a short-term bill that lasts only through mid-December, skirting the traditional pressure the holidays provide to force lawmakers to craft a deal. If he gets his wish and can fund the government until January, it becomes even less likely that any Senate-crafted compromise makes its way to President Trump’s desk.

Snarky Wisconsin Congressmen Caught Lying by Grok

#WI08 #WI07 #wipolitics #wisdems #wisgop #Wisconsin
Rep. Tom Tiffany reposted Rep. Tony Wied @RepTonyWied · Sep 20 Reality: Democrats voted to shutdown the government because they want free healthcare for illegal aliens. But whatever helps you sleep at night. Quoting Sen Baldwin's post Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin Republicans are gearing up to kick millions MORE off their health care. Democrats are saying NO. Sen. Warner perfectly lays out how we got here. Grok was asked if "Democrats are about to shut down the federal government because President Trump won't force American taxpayers to pay for health care for illegal aliens. Response; Grok @grok The claim appears misleading. Undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for most federal health programs like Medicaid, per KFF and HHS guidelines. The shutdown risk involves broader budget disputes, including GOP cuts to health access for lawfully present immigrants, opposed by Democrats. Sources: Brookings, Politico, Reuters.

In March, they wanted a CR because they weren't getting the budgeting work done.

Trump said the work would be done by the September session.

They are risking our healthcare premiums.

Key Working Wisconsin Facts This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels. Expand all Collapse all Wisconsin’s 2024 median wage – $25.01 per hour – reached a record high. Real wages (which take inflation into account) rose by 70 cents last year, reaching $25.01. Wages reached new highs for both men ($27.05) and women ($22.98). (For more, see Wages.) Wisconsin jobs are growing to new highs, but growth is less than half the national rate and slowing. Since the 2020 pandemic shutdowns, both national and Wisconsin job growth has reached new labor market highs. Wisconsin reached 3,058,500 jobs in July 2025. But growth has been slow, and Wisconsin’s recovery has generated less than half as many jobs as it would have if it matched the national recovery. (For more, see Jobs.) Federal policies – pro-tariff, anti-immigrant, and anti-worker – are reshaping the economy, and Wisconsin workers will pay the price. Hallmark federal policies will cool the economy. Tariffs increase prices, hostility toward immigrants hobbles labor market growth, and federal cuts to health care and other supports will hit Wisconsin’s low-wage workers particularly hard. We are especially concerned about the future reliability of the very data we use for this report. (For more see Federal Policy.) The gender gap in wages has closed as women have made substantial wage gains while men’s wage gains are tepid. From 1979 to 2024, women’s wages grew by more than 50%. Men’s wages are up just 4% over the same period. (For more, see Wages.) Wisconsin’s workers are losing the protection of unions at a rate that outstrips national and neighboring states. In Wisconsin, union coverage collapsed, from 14% to 7% from 2011-24. Over the same period, national unionization fell from 13% to 11%. Wisconsin’s union rates are plummeting as national rates and the rates of our neighbors fall less rapidly. (For more, see Unions.) Immigrant workers make massive contributions…
