Here is the part they aren't telling you...Republicans' so-called "plan" to reduce the cost of college would cut *153.6 BILLION DOLLARS* from federal student aid. @GOP 's idea on how to make college "more affordable" is by making it so low-income students can't afford to attend.

After a lifetime of hard work, these workers deserve the retirement security they were promised. The @Labor_Caucus is proud to stand in solidarity with Gemtron workers on strike, and we urge management to bargain in good faith.

A lot of folks have asked me why Biden can’t simply fire DeJoy. Unfortunately, it’s up to the USPS Board of Governors. We can continue to call out DeJoy and keep up the pressure on the Board to replace him with someone competent.

I spoke with Postmaster DeJoy about the unacceptable mail delays my constituents are facing. Instead of trying to provide solutions, he was angry, defensive & could only offer excuses. On the bright side, Democrats and Republicans in Congress finally agree on something!

Trump reportedly asked oil executives for $1 billion last month, promising he'd roll back Biden's climate measures. Meanwhile, fossil fuel lawyers and lobbyists are already drafting executive orders for Trump to sign if he wins in November. Story:

No offensive weapons in Rafah. Good! Thank you @POTUS ! Millions of innocent Palestinians have been forced into a corner. Now it’s time for a ceasefire and to release all the hostages. It’s time to end the bloodshed once and for all.

Did I vote with the extremist White Christian Nationalist who called a motion to vacate the Speakership or did I vote to save the extremist homophobic Christian Nationalist Speaker to keep him in office? Neither. I voted “present” on this sideshow.

6 years ago Trump came to Wisconsin with promises of jobs and investments with the Foxconn plant.   Spoiler: Trump made promises that were never fulfilled.   President Biden is delivering for communites failed by the last administration’s policies.

Teachers mold our future leaders and are integral to a thriving society. I’ve been working with union leaders to increase pay and resources so they can continue to inspire and educate the next generation of students! Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek .

You shouldn’t have to pay to file your tax return each year! The IRS Direct File pilot created a FREE and EASY way to file. I'm glad to hear that they're working on expanding it and encouraged IRS Commissioner Werfel to bring it to Wisconsin.

While you worry about the bill for your next doctor's visit, health insurance CEOs are buying their third vacation home. It’s time to join the rest of the developed world. It's time for Medicare for All!

. @HouseDemocrats are laser-focused on helping everyday Americans thrive – not just scrape by. We’re fighting to lower the cost of living, make housing more affordable, and ease the burden of student debt – all while making billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of more than 6 million jews and countless others who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust. We must call out anti-Semitism, bigotry, and fascism to prevent these atrocities from being repeated.

To us Wisconsinites, cheese is more than just a snack; it's an economic engine and a cultural badge of honor — if you're not into cheese, you're probably in the wrong state!
