President Trump and even Wisconsin’s own Republicans in Congress turned their backs on America's Dairyland. Shameful. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

Follow the money! It looks like Trump wants to keep Bryan Steil in Congress more than he wants to keep notorious bootlicker Derrick Van Orden in Congress?? The only thing this could mean is that we need to get rid of BOTH of them this November to make a real change in Wisconsin.

Farmers who have worked hard and played by the rules are now on the verge of financial collapse because the war in Iran is squeezing them on all sides. It doesn’t have to be like this — the president is choosing for it to be like this.

Again, Trump does not understand basic supply & demand economics. The nail in the GOP midterm coffin is fuel prices. If more Americans had better/cheaper driving options that used less gas, the Republicans might have had a little breathing room with this Iran war debacle

⛽️ in Tomah today: $4.49 unleaded, $6.19 diesel Because fuel prices are a global market, POTUS usually can’t do much about them. But in this case, the entire world is paying more for fuel because of Trump‘s war in Iran and because of the Republican Congress‘s refusal to stop him.

My favorite thing about this poll is that ‘Accepting a luxury jet from Qatar while the Trump Organization pursues business opportunities in the Gulf’ came in last. Deeper bench than the ‘92 Dream Team.
Bar chart from Data for Progress titled 'Trump's Handling of the Epstein Files Is Seen as the Most Concerning Corruption-Related Action.' An August 28–31, 2026 survey of 1,167 U.S. likely voters asked which of Trump's second-term actions are most concerning, selecting up to two. Results: declining to fully release the Epstein files, 22%; directing federal law-enforcement investigations against political opponents, 17%; using the presidency to enrich his properties like Mar-a-Lago, 17%; growing his family's cryptocurrency business including Trump meme coins, 15%; family and associates moving between government roles and private ventures, 15%; pardoning allies including Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, 12%; easing regulations in industries where his family has financial interests, 12%; selling early access to his social media posts for up to $100,000 a month, 11%; accepting millions in White House ballroom donations from companies with business before the government, 11%; accepting a luxury jet from Qatar while the Trump Organization pursues Gulf business, 9%, last among the listed actions. 'None of these are concerning to me' drew 18% and 'Don't know'
