Thank you @JasonCalvi for sharing what might be the quote of the night on the whole matter!
TURDUCKEN: “This proposal is a turducken, because it is a turkey, that was put together by a bunch of lame ducks by a Republican legislature that is too chicken to confront the structural affordability…” says @RepAndraca during Wisconsin tax rebate/school funding debate.

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

Marquette Law Poll Director @PollsAndVotes says Democrats picking up 13 seats in the Virginia House is perhaps the most relevant result to Wisconsin, where Dems hope to flip the Senate in '26. "I do think that Virginia outcome has to catch the attention of state legislators"

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.

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.

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.

Gun safety laws do not threaten the Second Amendment. But school shooters threaten us all.

When asked about the FSU shooting, Trump said: “I have an obligation to protect the Second Amendment." Actually, you have an OBLIGATION to protect our children from being shot at school.

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/dodgevi…

Earlier this morning, we spoke on the importance of equipping Wisconsinites with resources to withstand the chaos and uncertainty coming from Trump. We will continue to fight for a budget that invests in working families and addresses cost of living challenges for everyone in WI.

Today, we are excited to be at the State Fair Park for the second public hearing on the biennial state budget. We heard a lot of powerful stories and testimonies in Kaukauna earlier this week and look forward to hearing what the people of Southeastern Wisconsin have to say.
