Several former beagle constituents freed from Ridglan Farms joined us at the announcement today. Seeing them free to find loving families of their own is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together, and a reminder that there is still more work to be done.

But we also saw the power of people coming together demanding change. This is a nonpartisan issue, and I'm glad to work with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to move this important bill forward.
What happened at Ridglan Farms was a wake up call, not just for our community, but across the country. We saw thousands of beagles confined in inhumane conditions and bred for research.
Today Rep. Langworthy and I introduced the COMPACT Act, which will modernize federally funded biomedical research and end inhumane testing practices on cats and dogs.
Instead of focusing on grocery and housing prices, the president now wants to rename Ford's Theatre, where President Lincoln was assassinated, after himself.
Quite a display of insecurity and jealousy!

FACT: Since 1989, the U.S. economy has added about 51 million jobs. Roughly 50 million of those new jobs were under Democratic presidents.

Today we learned that 760,000 people were cut off from Obamacare at the end of August by the Trump Administration. People were already facing skyrocketing healthcare costs and this will only exacerbate the problems Americans face getting the healthcare they need.

Untrained ICE agents did not belong in airports. And they do not belong in polling stations.
That would be election interference and cannot be permitted.
Happy 33rd anniversary to AmeriCorps! Thank you to the millions of members who have dedicated their time to service and making a difference. I will continue to fight against Trump’s cuts to this program that has helped so many Americans.
As a member of the Congressional Reproductive Freedom Caucus, I stand with patients & providers against political interference in healthcare, because patients face consequences.
Let’s be clear: abortion is healthcare and your healthcare decisions belong to you. Not politicians.
Ever wondered why Hispanic Heritage Month goes from Sept. 15 - Oct. 15? It is because many Latin American countries celebrate their independence during this time and it honors "the resilience and determination of the Hispanic community."

Nothing screams authoritarian dictatorship like banning and demeaning freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

For the folks in the back:
CEOS ARE PAID *325* TIMES AS MUCH AS THE TYPICAL WORKER! 📣
It hasn't always been this way.
It doesn't have to be this way.
When workers had more power, CEOs were paid 21 times as much as their workers. Workers, it's time to take your power back. #FormAUnion #UnionStrong
New data alert 🚨
- CEO pay surged in 2025, rising 14% to an average $27.9 million
- CEOs are paid 325 times as much as the typical worker in their industry
- Between 1978 and 2025, top CEO pay rose 1,316% compared to only a 28% increase for typical workers

House Republicans cancelled today's votes, on top of canceling the last two weeks of September votes. They’ve now cancelled more than 20% of voting days this Congress.
What are they so afraid of? Doing their jobs? Angering their constituents? Or getting on Trump's naughty list?

Donald Trump has made nearly 29,000 individual stock trades since the start of his second term.
That is nearly 50 trades PER DAY.
The American people deserve a President that serves their interests, not his own wallet.
DOGE's legacy is government waste and inefficiency. Exactly the opposite of what Trump and Musk claimed it would do.

The latest Marquette poll found that Democrats are viewed more favorably on the economy, inflation, healthcare, Medicare and Social Security, while only 19% of adults approved of Trump’s performance on inflation. Republicans are failing Americans on affordability and basic kitchen table issues.
"The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, suggested he was open to sending federal agents to polling places."
This would be election interference and it is against the law.

Food insecurity is a major theme of the GOP platform. Causing it -- not addressing it.

National Voter Registration Day is a great day to check and see if you are registered to vote. In Wisconsin, this nonpartisan statewide website myvote.wi.gov is the easiest place to check and register.
