I can’t believe this is still up for debate. But we have reached FAMINE in Gaza.

According to Oxfam, the average daily caloric intake in Gaza today is only 250 calories.

This. Must. Stop.

Anyone of good conscience must speak out and act. That includes President Biden.

What’s not said, is that is already against the law in all 50 states to vote in federal elections if you are not a citizen. Most states already require this. But…let’s chase the ghost anyway.

A lot of folks have asked about the security funding discharge petition.

I support aid for Ukraine but this petition is tied to unconditional funding for arms to Israel, which I cannot support. Hopefully, we can get a Ukraine-only vote on the floor, which I'll gladly support.

Since the GOP has no idea how to govern, they’ve been passing meaningless dribble most of the session. Censure resolutions. Impeachments. Disapproving Biden.

Now, they are set to pass law that already exists. Foreign nationals can’t vote. Period. Idiocy. thehill.com/latino/4588719…

I am proud to stand with UW Health nurses as they take a step forward in their fight to reestablish their union. Join me in urging the UW bosses to proceed with a union election. Go to act.seiu.org/a/supportuwnur…

This is what you get in the Trump era - a complete disregard for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

You can’t hire based on religion for a public position.

A Wisconsin public school board listed 'Christian values' among desires for next superintendent - WPR wpr.org/news/a-wiscons…

.AIPAC wants you to think they are just another PAC like nurses or workers. Nothing could be further from the truth. AIPAC raises BIG donations beyond normal PAC limits from Trump donors & disingenuously spends against Dems in Dem primaries. Apples to arsenic for our democracy.

Ann Walsh Bradley is a terrific public servant for the state of Wisconsin and she will be missed. Thanks to Ann and her family who shared her with us for so many years.

A guy worth $193.8 billion, with enough money to play astronaut, says: “I disagree with the idea of unions… I just don't like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants sort of thing.”

Musk produces the lord-and-peasants thing. Unions address it.

If you’ve seen me post on AIPAC day after day, but not really sure who this shadowy conservative dark money group is, watch this video and learn more. In my opinion, their big money approach towards campaigns threatens democracy.

Police officer who survived Jan. 6 - ⁦Derrick Van Orden⁩ “was also at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but not as a police officer or someone there to protect. He was there as a member of the mob.”

Not sure another district in the US has this. 😔 wisconsinexaminer.com/2024/04/10/pol…

I hope Netanyahu has a strategy for getting hostages released, rather than just punishing all Palestinians in Gaza. He helped prop up Hamas. He moved IDF soldiers from near Gaza to protecting illegal settlements. And he’s trying to stay out of jail. Failed strategy so far. AIPAC

I have whiplash! Didn’t Trump just say he wanted to leave abortion up to the states?

Now that Arizona turned the law back to 1864, he says it shouldn’t be up to the states??

Trump said it himself: he’s “proud” of ending Roe. He wants a nationwide abortion ban. He owns this.

I went to the floor of Congress today to discuss a letter by 56 members of Congress who think we need a new direction in Gaza. The killing must stop. Aid must flow. No more offensive arms transfers, no push in Rafah with US weaponry. Investigate the killing of World Central Kitchen. ☮️🇮🇱🇵🇸

You can’t. I’m white. Racist memes can’t depict white people or it confused racists. Just ask AIPAC. I’m their token and everyone still knows they really don’t like black and brown people the most. 🙄
