Bruce Springsteen opened his tour in England with a forceful denunciation of President Trump. “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Our Wisconsin economy depends on billions of dollars in exports, whether dairy, machinery, produce, or anything in between. President Trump's reckless tariff taxes and trade wars will hurt our farmers, manufacturers, and raise costs for families at the grocery store and gas pump.
Wisconsin Exports by Country: #1 Canada $7.94 billion, #2 Mexico $4.35 Billion, #3 China $1.55 Billion

Five days to WI’s spring election. Judge Susan Crawford has a record of public service: an attorney, prosecutor, and Circuit Court Judge. Pro-freedom, pro-safety, pro-democracy. Brad Schimel’s record? Something else entirely.
