Wisconsin Assembly Democrats tried to take steps to pull a bill out of committee today that would expand postpartum Medicaid coverage for a year after a child is born, but Republicans blocked it. The bill has bipartisan support, but Assembly Speaker @repvos⁩ opposes it

Republican budget cuts are going to close two facilities that help veterans experiencing homelessness get back into permanent housing. Democrats have a bill to keep them open. Republicans have refused to even hold a hearing on the bill. Without funding, they'll close Sept. 30.

@Brandon_Hasz01 @DanRShafer You asked a lot of good questions and the answers are available to you if you are genuinely interested. This is what public hearings are for, and why it is so frustrating that my colleagues won’t give these bills a hearing. We need more in-person conversation and civil debate.

@debforwi @DanRShafer Please explain and apply these laws to explain how if these laws would be in place (many probably already are in liberal MN) what happened at Annunciation Catholic Church and School?

The difficult thing, from a public policy standpoint, on the school/church shooting in Minnesota yesterday, is knowing that no action is going to come of it. It's been 26 years since Columbine, and this issue has only ever gotten worse, and our political system (mainly the GOP) is unwilling to do anything, ever. Not on gun violence prevention, not on mental health funding, nothing that could make a real difference. We are in an astoundingly bleak political moment for a whole host of reasons in Trump 2.0 here in 2025, but things have been bleak on this issue for a long, long time now. And I don't see how this turns around anytime soon.

@Brandon_Hasz01 @DanRShafer Here are bills in the Wisconsin legislature awaiting a public hearing. Republicans have the majority and can vote them down if they don’t agree with a majority of Wisconsin voters. But we need to have the conversation- and not on social media. Proverbs 27:17.

@Brandon_Hasz01 @DanRShafer Brandon, you know no law can prevent every mass shooting. But Wisconsin can learn from other states and close the background check loopholes, require safe storage, enact red flag laws, restore 48 hr waiting periods, any of these would save lives.

Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action. Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Don’t think of this as someone else’s kids.” They are your kids, praying in a church before school.

People should never fear for their lives because of their service to their community. I grieve with our Minnesota colleagues over the loss of Speaker Emerita Hortman and her husband, and wish Senator Hoffman and his wife strength and a full recovery.

After two failed referendums, Dodgeville had to make the difficult decision to increase class sizes and cut staff. Schools and communities should never be put in this position. channel3000.com/news/dodgevill…
