Flailing in D.C.: Derek Van Orden is losing Trump’s cash, settling for Elon’s scraps - The Democratic Voice
Derek Van Orden is flailing in Congress and rapidly losing support from Donald Trump. As House Republicans bail on Washington again to avoid doing their job, Wisconsin’s 3rd District Congressman finds himself isolated, underfunded, and making continuous public blunders. We break down how Van Orden managed to insult two distinct communities outside the Capitol in a single TMZ clip, drawing direct condemnation from La Crosse's mayor, and we expose the fuzzy math behind his rural healthcare claims after he voted to slash $1 trillion from Medicaid — all after flying to Texas to suck up to Trump during a 6-minute speech. Episode Highlights: TMZ Blunder Sparks Outrage: Off-the-cuff Capitol comments managed to insult both Black and LGBTQ+ communities, drawing swift backlash from La Crosse Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey. The $1 Trillion Healthcare Scam: Van Orden touts a $50 billion rural hospital grant package, but hides the fact that he voted to slash $1 trillion from Medicaid. Trump Cuts Cash, Elon Sends Scraps: Trump's Super PAC is stiffing Van Orden, leaving him to settle for a few thousand bucks in mailer scraps from Elon Musk's America PAC to keep his campaign afloat. Punishing Hungry Families: Van Orden brags about "saving" SNAP after voting for new restrictions that cut off 30,000 district families. Hiding from Voters: Instead of meeting constituents, Van Orden fled to a D.C. fundraiser while local Democrats connected directly with hundreds of voters at the Brad Pfaff Corn Roast. Sneaky Campaigning on Your Dime: How Van Orden uses official, taxpayer-funded cabinet visits like RFK Jr. to cover up his lack of actual legislative work in Washington. Massive Recess Dodge: Van Orden and House GOP leadership abruptly called off scheduled voting days to avoid a disastrous vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth. The Democratic Voice is hosted by 3rd Congressional District Democratic Party Chair William Garcia and WIZM’s Rick Solem.

Republicans are touting their 'big beautiful bill' to voters. Here's what the law has actually done
A year on, what's known as the One Big Beautiful Bill has produced mixed results. Millions of people have received enhanced tax breaks, while millions are also losing access to federal food aid and health care. More immigrants are being arrested, many deported, some dying during the process.

Sec. of State Sarah Godlewski on Lt. Governor run, economic relief and Democratic primaries - The Democratic Voice
Wisconsin Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor candidate Sarah Godlewski joins for a quick-hitting dive into the state’s political landscape. (This interview happened before Mandela Barnes dropped out of the governor's race) Godlewski breaks down why she’s seeking the Lt. Governor’s office to serve as an effective economic partner for Wisconsin's next governor. Drawing on her financial background as former State Treasurer, Godlewski addresses the pressing costs facing working families — from skyrocketing healthcare premiums and hospital closures in the Chippewa Valley to closing corporate tax loopholes like the "dark store" loophole. She also talks about being 1st Vice Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Godlewski shares why a competitive Democratic primary strengthens the ticket against extreme opponents, how the party maintains strict neutrality while building statewide infrastructure, and why the best way to listen to voters might just be a statewide supper club tour.

Town Hall with Joel Brennan - La Crosse · Brennan for Wisconsin
Come hear directly from Joel Brennan — because with 26 days until the primary, this decision matters. Tom Tiffany has made clear he'll rubber-stamp Trump's agenda and attack the freedoms and opportunities Wisconsin families depend on. ### Joel Brennan is running to stop him. He grew up the tenth of eleven kids in Wisconsin, worked his way through college, and spent 25 years getting things done for our state — most recently as Governor Evers' top cabinet official, where together they built a nearly $4 billion budget surplus, grew the rainy-day fund, and delivered real help to small businesses, farmers, and families through COVID. He's ready to take on Tom Tiffany in November — and when he wins, he'll get to work lowering costs for Wisconsin families: health care, child care, housing. No script. No teleprompter. No fundraising. Just an honest conversation about what's at stake for Wisconsin. Come out July 20th and kick the tires yourself.
