@SenSchumer So now it’s a big deal, but when members of congress do it it’s crickets.

Donald Trump is engaging in insider trading in broad daylight.
3700 stock trades. $750 million. Just in 2026 alone.
As he fights for a gold-plated, taxpayer-funded ballroom instead of any relief for Americans’ rising costs.

@SenatorBaldwin Billionaires stealing the resources is far more important than the NFL but something says to me she;s all in on Data Centers as long as she's paid off by 'donatations'...

The U.S. already has 5,500 data centers that use 449 million gallons of water a day. They’re being built on farmland, so in addition to taking away our water they’re taking away our food supply, all for mass surveillance, AI slop, and to make billionaires richer.

The cost of just about everything is rising. The last thing Wisconsinites need is the NFL making them spend their hard-earned money on another costly streaming service just to watch our Packers play.

The fundamental tenet of public service is that, above all, the work must be for the benefit of the public good and not for personal greed or gain. That’s a commitment we take seriously.

End the corruption.

Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, and many trades coincided with favorable regulatory decisions. From @samuellarreal_ & @LlanosJackie of @NOTUSreports: notus.org/money/donald-t…

@washingtonpost Data centers are an ecological disaster in the making and our grandchildren & great grandchildren will pay the price HOWEVER they’re vital for tech companies to function so as long as we stay on this course of everything AI/digital we will have to accept that damage will be done

Public opposition to data centers is hardening as overwhelming majorities of Americans now oppose the facilities in their communities, according to a new Gallup poll.
The survey found that opposition is especially intense among Democrats. wapo.st/48ZtSpE

WISCONSIN
Democrats Hurt Wisconsin: 400-Year Tax Veto, Record Vetoes, Failing Schools, Crime Spike & Fiscal Mess – Here’s the Full List of Damage Under Evers (2026 Race Facts)
1.Skyrocketing Property Taxes and the “400-Year Veto”
• Evers used a creative line-item veto on a school funding bill to change a two-year revenue limit increase into one lasting 400 years (by striking words/digits). Courts upheld it. Republicans call this a massive, long-term property tax hike on homeowners—estimated at hundreds of dollars more every two years for median homes—while mocking families struggling with costs. legis.wisconsin.gov facebook.com
• Recent property tax bills hit record highs; Republicans argue Evers and Democrats blocked or slowed relief (e.g., opposing or complicating recent surplus deals for rebates and aid). They contrast this with GOP pushes for direct relief, tax-free tips/overtime, and rebates from the state’s surplus. wisconsinexaminer.com
2. Excessive Vetoes and Gridlock/Obstruction
• Evers issued more vetoes than any governor in state history, often blocking Republican priorities on taxes, education choice, immigration cooperation, and red tape reduction. jsonline.com
• Examples: Vetoed bills for no state tax on tips/overtime, county cooperation with ICE, and school choice expansions. Critics say this shows Democrats prioritize ideology over relief for working families and public safety. wispolitics.com
3. Crime and Public Safety Failures
• Republicans highlight “soft-on-crime” policies, including discretionary paroles and emphasis on prevention over enforcement. They tie this to urban crime issues (e.g., Milwaukee) and argue it endangers communities while Democrats resist tougher measures. maciverinstitute.com
• Wisconsin’s crime/corrections ranking (around #27 nationally) gets cited as middling despite Evers’ investments; GOP contrasts with pre-Evers trends or neighboring states. usnews.com
4. Education Outcomes vs. Spending
• Per-pupil spending has risen significantly, yet proficiency lags: Large percentages of students below grade level in math/reading. Republicans argue Evers’ focus on more funding (without reforms like choice/competition) has failed kids, especially in Milwaukee and other districts. maciverinstitute.com
• Recent bipartisan surplus fights (e.g., Democrats in the legislature opposing a deal with school aid and property tax relief) get framed as Democrats blocking help for schools to play politics. aol.com
5. Fiscal Mismanagement and Economic Stagnation
• Despite a large budget surplus (built partly under divided government), Republicans accuse Evers of high overall spending growth (e.g., state budget rising sharply), slow GDP/economic growth compared to national averages, and policies driving up costs for families (housing, energy). maciverinstitute.com
• High out-migration or lagging job growth in some sectors; tying Democratic policies to making Wisconsin less competitive (e.g., vs. lower-tax states). Recent deals for rebates get portrayed as too little, too late after years of inaction. @i
6. Broader Governance Critiques
• Partisanship: Secret recordings of GOP leaders (older but resurfaced), lawsuits against the legislature, and resistance to federal cooperation. wisgop.org
• Priorities: Heavy focus on progressive issues (e.g., vetoing restrictions on transgender policies in sports/healthcare) while families face affordability crises. wpr.org
• Contrast with Republican legislative record on tax control and prior reforms under Scott Walker.
Tie these to everyday impacts“Democrats raised your property taxes for centuries while vetoing relief,More spending, worse results for kids,Soft policies, harder lives for families.Polls show the 2026 race is competitive; affordability, taxes, and schools are perennial voter concerns in Wisconsin

Almost a third of the membership of the Congressional Black Caucus are at risk of losing their seats through the 2028 election cycle as Republicans in southern states where they control the legislature move swiftly to redraw congressional maps. abcnews.link/8u8DAIi

I’ve had patients and employees get their cars stolen in their driveway in Wauwatosa.
A friend, who is a healthcare provider near my office, has been ziptied and held at gunpoint.
And, for me, that is completely unacceptable. I am done hearing that we can’t do anything else.
It’s time for results > politics. It’s for problem solvers to fix this and politicians who make the problems worse to leave.
