The many over the money. That’s how we get this done.

Btw: Tom Tiffany, running for Governor of Wisconsin, is chairman of subcommittee on federal lands. He wants to destroy this rule. He's also got a 100% pro-Trump voting record in Congress. So, after you weigh in against this rule, chip in to help David Crowley beat him, and sign to volunteer.

"The Trump Administration is proposing to repeal the Roadless Rule, opening 45 million acres of national forests to road construction, destructive timber harvest and energy development." Today is the last day for public comment. Weigh in: defenders.org/roadless-rule

Trump's plan to control threats from AI: an agreement that is... not legally binding, just "morally binding." Oh, and Tom Tiffany voted for a ten-year BAN on states regulating AI.

Mitchell Berman, an ER nurse, could flip Paul Ryan's old seat. How sweet would it be for Paul Ryan’s district to become the place where Dems win a majority in the House?"

Tom Tiffany tried to overturn the 2020 election and throw out your votes. Now, MAGA billionaires are spending millions to make him the governor ahead of the 2028 election. Tiffany tried to throw out your votes once. We can’t give him another chance.

If Jenna Jacobson wins, power could shift in Wisconsin's State Senate for the first time in a generation. Guess what that means?

David Crowley saw tough times growing up. Then, when he was elected to a position of responsibility, he delivered so that fewer people would go through what he did. That's one reason I trust David to lead Wisconsin.

Thanks for having me Idea Fest! I came with one Wisconsin-sized idea: let’s elect David Crowley governor.

And as their voters cry out for help affording basic necessities, Tom Tiffany, Derrick Van Orden, Bryan Steil and the other Republicans running Congress are doing nothing about it.

Tom Tiffany voted to raise the cost of your healthcare… and then gave a tax break for data centers.

For the first time in more than a decade, Democrats have a shot at winning a trifecta and making real change. Voting rights. Fair maps. Union rights. All three are on the ballot this year.

Here’s what Tom Tiffany doesn’t want you to know about his position on AI.

Ben Wikler @benwikler.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

For the first time in a generation, Democrats have a clear shot at winning a trifecta in Wisconsin. When Dems win, they have to change the system itself—so they can actually deliver on public schools, housing, healthcare, worker power, and affordability.

Fishing in Wisconsin should be simple: grab a pole, some bait, fill up the tank, head to the water. But gas costs more. Bait costs more. Gear costs more. Let’s not even talk about boats. The things that make Wisconsin feel like Wisconsin are getting harder to afford.

Tom Tiffany owns the affordability crisis. While Wisconsin families pay more for groceries, housing, and healthcare, he’s making life easier for his billionaire donors.

I'm reading Ben Wikler's book, This Is The Plan, for the second time. I just finished it and I'm reading it again because it's so full of good information and I want to get all of it so that I can help save democracy. Get his book now so that you can use what you learn to defeat the fascists.

In 1911, Wisconsin passed the first successful workers’ compensation law—giving workers some real protection when things went wrong on the job. Here’s a little state history about why, if you get hurt at work today, Wisconsin has your back.

Wisconsinites: You flipped your Supreme Court, allowing the pro-democracy majority to strike down the GOP’s gerrymandered maps. And now, for the first time in a generation, we have a chance to end the Republican majorities by electing a Democratic trifecta ready to deliver.

Richard Uihlein isn't a household name—by design. But he's one of the most ultra-extreme far-right mega donors in the nation. And he's trying to buy governorships to steal 2028.

Happy birthday to my godmother, Ada Deer, on what would have been her 91st. Her 1992 run for Congress, when I was 11, was my first time volunteering for a political campaign. 27 years later, she nominated me for Wisconsin Dems chair. Happy birthday, Ada—your memory is a blessing.
