This is INSANE. Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, reposted Donald Trump‘s social media saying Seth Meyer should be fired. This is the same asshole who went after Jimmy Kimmel as Disney was trying to do a merger before him. This guy is corrupt & needs to be investigated!

Great weekend one year out from the November 2026 elections. Stopped in Monroe, Darlington and Mineral Point. Great people ready to take back the US House. State Assembly & Senate, Governorship, AG, Treasurer & Sec. of State.

Wow. @derrickvanorden is in the wrong Capitol today. He’s in Madison lying about his vote to cut SNAP by over $150 billion in the Big, Ugly Bill, rather than bring in DC doing his job. He admitted he didn’t ask for an earmark to help a veterans facility in his district. AWOL.

Just wait. Now he’s saying $300 million without any Congressional approval. Ridiculous.

Great turnout in Janesville, Wisconsin today for the No Kings rally! People love our country, but dislike that some would choose an individual over it. The people united will never be defeated.

3 more Townhalls in WI’s 3rd district today, making it 7 in less than ten days! @derrickvanorden has NEVER done an open public town hall in 3 years. People are upset over his votes to cut healthcare from 15 million people and increase everyone’s rates. Derrick was AWOL again.

Hey Derrick Van Orden, there are a lot of people in your district that would love to talk to you in person. If you decide to leave the basement, come on down to Platteville. Great townhall today!

One day to the first open public townhalls in 3 years in Platteville, Black River Falls & Stevens Point! Hear how @derrickvanorden and the GOP voted to raise your healthcare premiums & take healthcare away from 15 million people. Join me! I’m doing 7 town halls in 10 days. DVO - none in 3 years.

If you live in Platteville, Black River Falls or Stevens Point - or surrounding areas - hear about how the GOP is either cutting your healthcare or raising your premiums, all because of the Big Ugly Law they voted for. Derrick Van Orden is MIA in his own district. I’ll hear from you. Thursday.

What could be better than doing four town halls in one day in Derrick Van Orden’s district like we did this week after he’s done none in 3 years? Doing 3 more in a day this week! If the GOP cancels votes, will get the information out about the cuts to healthcare they’re doing.

Three town halls in Western Wisconsin in representative Derek Van Orden’s district today so far. One more to go. People are upset about increasing healthcare costs and 15 million people losing healthcare access, as well as the Trump tariff taxes we are all paying. And guess who was a no-show…

Today is the day, Western Wisconsin. See what a real Congressman does. Listens to their constituents. Something your elected rep has never done - a public town hall. Join us in one of four spots today! The GOP may be on their 3rd week of paid vacation. Dems aren’t.

I see Derrick Van Orden has tweeted 20 times already by 10:43am on his third week of paid vacation. I invite him to join me in his district, doing his job, tomorrow in four cities. X can wait. This is what a real congressman does, FYI. Shutdown. Healthcare. Tariffs. More.

Hey Western Wisconsin/3rd Congressional district The GOP run Congress just took ANOTHER week of vacation when they should be protecting your healthcare and reducing rates. Want to know more about what your member of Congress ISN’T doing? Attend a meetup with me on Tuesday!

Great Town Hall in Prairie du Chien tonight in @derrickvanorden’s district. Too bad he was a no-show. Lots of concern about the big ugly law that he voted for. People don’t want healthcare, food assistance, and more cut to give Elon Musk a tax break. People not happy.

This Thursday, July 31, join us at 5pm for a town hall in Derrick Van Orden’s district, even the town he lives in - Prairie du Chien. Let’s discuss the Big Ugly Law. It’s really ugly. And let’s see if Derrick can go 5 minutes down the street to do his job.

Great town hall in Eau Claire yesterday in Rep Derrick Van Orden’s district. Derrick was a no-show. People showed up worried about cuts to Medicaid, ACA health care plans, food assistance, education & more. They don’t want a big tax cut for Musk & Trump. Hope Derrick hears them. Guessing he won’t.

Finished my town hall in La Crosse in WI’s 3rd district. As expected,@derrickvanorden, did not show up even though he represents the area. Got an earful from over 350 people against Medicaid, education, & food assistance cuts. Hopefully the GOP folks there pass this on to him.

Your reminder that every Republican who voted for the budget bill voted to cut Medicaid or Medicare by the amount they voted for ($880 billion). All “other” is $581 billion. Saying the bill didn’t say “Medicaid” is a complete misrepresentation of their vote, also known as a lie.

Dear Elon, Clearly, the people of Wisconsin think you are full of shit. But thanks for depositing $20 million in our economy and losing. Did I mention you lost? And people really really don’t like you? I mean really. Your friend, Mark

More volunteer launches for @crawfordforwi and @underlyforwi. Mineral Point, Fitchburg and Madison. Even in less-than-great weather, people are fired up to win on Tuesday! Spoiler alert: National implications when Trump and Musk lose. Vote on April 1!!

Back-to-back canvass launches for Susan Crawford and Jill Underly in Madison this morning. Lots of people fired up to send the message that people in WI DON’T support the Trump/Musk/GOP agenda. Winning on Tuesday has national implications. Let’s win this!

Over 250 people packed the Baraboo City Council chambers last night expressing their concern with GOP cuts to Medicaid, education, food assistance & more. People are pissed. There’s a reason GOP reps refuse to do town halls. The facts are against them. Keep fighting, folks. When we fight we win.

Pete Hegseth must step down after his Signal chat is revealed. Anyone involved in the coverup should be brought before Congress for possible contempt. Clearly this was a HUGE mistake & an orchestrated effort to sweep under the rug. Inaction by Trump should be dealt with too.

PACKED house in Viroqua, WI for the town hall in @derrickvanorden’s district. Derrick was a NO SHOW, but over 300 people in the town of 4500 showed up. Empty seat for him. Of note: Derrick doesn’t respond to constituents & they don’t like cuts to Medicaid & other programs.

Today would be a great day for Rep. Derrick Van Orden to RSVP he will attend a community organized open public town hall in his district in Viroqua tomorrow, March 18th. I’m attending. Hoping he won’t be hiding in his basement playing war video games.

Busy Sunday. MSNBC this morning talking about doing town halls in GOP districts. Kicked off a launch for Susan Crawford and Jill Underly in Middleton. Did a town hall sponsored by Indivisible on the East side of Madison. Great concern about Trump and Musk. Looking forward to the week!

People are fired up about what’s happening in Washington and Madison. Lots of voters for crawfordforwi & DrJillUnderly! Remember, the best way to send Elon Musk a message is to vote against his $10 million he’s spent so far in Wisconsin to elect right wingers. Vote! April 1.
