1 in 5 Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 now regret their choice. His approval just hit a new low: 33%. Affordability. Iran. Corruption. Take your pick. Buyer's remorse is a start. Voting is the cure. 32 days.

Republicans in Wisconsin sat on postpartum Medicaid for seven years — while moms and families and communities suffered — until it became a campaign issue for them. Wisconsin was the 49th state to pass it.  Shame on Wisconsin Republicans, especially those who are taking a victory lap.

Wisconsin ranks 49th in the nation for public health funding. That’s not bad luck — it’s 15 years of a Republican-controlled legislature choosing to starve our public health system, the same system that handles everything from measles to food safety. Not good, guys.

“Not safe enough to mail” — really? FDA data shows mifepristone is much safer than Viagra, which is nearly 10x more deadly. No hearings on Viagra, tho. No lawsuits. Prime-time ads instead. It was never about safety, only control. More on The Situation Womb — link in bio.

Canada’s tariffs are hitting Wisconsin cheese, steel, and aluminum — payback for Trump’s tariffs on Canadian dairy and wine. Economists say they’re targeting swing states like ours. This isn’t “leverage.” It’s our farmers and factory workers paying the price.
