Credit where it is due - at least “Our bill will kill you” is a lot more honest than “it doesn’t cut SNAP or Medicaid.” I generally legislate to improve lives, not end them. But that is why we have two parties.

Why don’t Republicans hold town halls? Because when they tell you their values it gets real ugly. Still hoping Derrick Van Orden will join me in Eau Claire on Saturday (tomorrow) at 10am at the Pablo Center for a town hall about their deadly bill. (Just don’t do what Joni did.)

Maybe the only thing worse than lying about no one having their Medicaid cut is making fun of people dying from a bill. WTF Republican Party? Is this all that’s left of you?

Great town hall in Eau Claire yesterday in Derrick Van Orden’s district. Derrick was a no-show. People showed up worried about cuts to Medicaid, ACA health care plans, food assistance, education & more. They don’t want a big tax cut for Musk and Trump. Hope Derrick hears them.

The senseless act of violence in Boulder should be condemned by all. I certainly do. I wish acts of violence would end everywhere. Peace is the answer.

Hey AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱🎗️, got a comment on shooting people getting food aid? Pretty barbaric, huh? It’s barbaric to kill and kidnap. It’s barbaric to kill kids and cleanse an area of land from its inhabitants. Barbaric.

Read the f**king bill instead of clapping for it like a performing monkey. You should have done your job while it was written. You didn’t. You own that vote, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸.

During Pride Month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth renames a ship named after LGBTQ+ civil rights icon Harvey Milk. Why? Conservative political correctness. 🤮 Sure hope one of his kids from one of the women he’s impregnated isn’t gay. Family values. politico.com/news/2025/06/0…

Elected Republicans are coalescing around the talking point that CBO's tax cut estimates are complete fiction and that tax cuts pay for themselves. Well, CBO's 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates - which included the previous year's TCJA - were ... 99.5% accurate. 🧵

Who cares if Donald Trump doesn’t take his $400,000 a year in pay. He’s costing us millions in rent at his own facilities and neighboring places so he can live a luxury lifestyle.

It's not easy to describe what is happening in Gaza. The scale of death, destruction, and suffering is unimaginable. This is smart legislation from Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez. The Block the Bombs Act will make sure that any American-made weapons that could be used offensively by Israel

Thanks, but no thanks. I think I know enough about Elon Musk. We should pass. He’s awful & his values don’t coincide w/ Dems. No reason to reach out & beg. We need universal healthcare, lower drug prices, min wage increase & cheaper child care not Musk. semafor.com/article/06/06/…

Musk is NOT our friend. Trying to bring him into the fold simply because he’s rich and he’s an enemy of Trump is an AWFUL idea. Standing for progressive economic and social values IS a good idea. Embrace FDR not Musk. Let’s not f**k this up. huffpost.com/entry/musk-tru…
