"Trump gives X Y days to do Z" is the most boring and predictable headline followed by "Trump folds" and the next shiny object.

Team Susan hitting the pavement! We’re out knocking doors and talking to Wisconsin neighbors about why Susan Crawford is the leader we need. Let’s win this thing!🚪🗳️

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Last night’s #StateOfTheUnion was a reminder of exactly what’s at stake. Lies, chaos, & attacks on our rights—we can’t just watch it happen. DO something about it. Join us in Wisconsin for the Supreme Court to fight for abortion rights, fair elections, and democracy. We hit the doors every weekend.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is HR@opm.gov, so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

They're not trying to make the government more efficient. They're trying to break the government so they can enrich themselves. Scott Walker did this in Wisconsin in 2011 with his union-busting "budget repair bill," which had nothing to do with budget repair. Same con every time.

The crisis is here. Dems will win by making this fight about impact on people’s lives. The GOP wants to fight on “federal funding.” They’re not attacking “funding.” They’re attacking veterans, kids who need school lunches, people battling cancer, workers trying to unionize.

What the president has tried to do in the last 24 hours is illegal. His actions threatened millions of Illinoisans' access to health care, food, and even fuel to heat their homes. I will stay vigilant in defense of IL because if you come for my people, you come through me.

Chaos is a strategy. It's a play for your time and your nerves. It's also scandalous, corrupt, illegal policy-by-whim. Stay focused and call out tyranny and cruelty where you see it.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Operation Swing State and Democrats across Illinois have been key partners to WisDems over the last five years. As DNC chair, I will ensure that Democrats organize year-round in every county—establishing the permanent campaign infrastructure that Operation Swing State has supported in Wisconsin.

A quote from Co-Founders of Operation Swing State Patrick Hanley and Ben Head: “Wikler knows that trust-building calls for year-round organizing, not a few weeks of scrambling in the fall. He not only understands that voters need to hear from Democrats well before November of an Election Year, but he also has a plan to make it happen.”

One of the biggest fights of 2025 will be the Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1. Control of the court is at stake. Susan Crawford is the candidate who will defend our freedoms and democracy. Please chip in to help her defeat her far-right opponent.

Could Donald Trump be a moderating influence on an Elon Musk presidency?

In the US, the UK, and now Germany, Musk is hoping to buy the most reactionary, least accountable, most flagrant reactionaries worldwide. Let's be clear, he's a joke. He's also a joke who happens to be the richest man in the world at a time of profound corruption.

Last time I checked, no one voted for a President Musk. A multibillionaire's stranglehold over Donald Trump and the entire GOP should infuriate all of us. Millions of people voted to bring down the cost of eggs—not for an oligarch to try shutting down our government.

November brought a 6% shift nationally towards Trump. But in Wisconsin, it was only 1.5%. At the same time, we reelected Tammy Baldwin to the Senate and flipped 14 state legislative seats. Organizing and communicating year-round matters. We can do this in every state and territory.

🎯 Trump's game is to start a fight, inflate/conflate a problem, then concede *everything* except for the shiny object and call it a win/deal ("the best the greatest deal perhaps of all time ever")

77% of New Trier Township voted this year -- the third highest turnout of any township in Cook County. 72% voted for Democrats. This is Rumsfeld country. Rauner country. Dold and Kirk country. Some of the largest GOP donors live blocks away. Now we're not going to claim *all* the credit but...

Outcomes matter; process distracts. That's how voters engage in the chaosphere of 20s politics. Doesn't mean process isn't important (or that it isn't fun to dunk on dumb ways Republicans make life harder on themselves), so long as we remember to set our clocks and talk outcomes when it counts.
