It’s time we got serious about prevention instead of just responding to crime once it’s already too late.

Crime prevention is not… -Forcing police into our schools -Devoting ever-increasing shares of local budgets to policing -Mass surveillance contracts with big tech companies -Long prison sentences coupled with insufficient attention to rehabilitation & reentry

Crime prevention is: -Good-paying jobs -Strong public schools -Affordable housing -Lead remediation -Youth programming -Well-maintained parks -High-quality public transit -Mental health crisis responders -Violence interruptors -Access to drug treatment -Universal healthcare -Paid family leave

The death penalty is an abomination. The Secretary of Defense promising to livestream an execution, as Pete Hegseth did this week, should itself be a crime. Bloodlust is not a virtue, and as a nation that styles itself the beacon of freedom for the world, we cannot behave this way.

Why are we willing to spend so much $ on the back end when a person falls through the cracks, but when it comes to universal healthcare or childcare, Republican politicians act like the Monopoly guy with our pockets turned inside out?

It costs more than $52,000 per year on average to house a single adult in a state correctional institution. That's the same as the gross pay for a $25 per hour full-time job.

There’s wins, there’s playoff wins, and then there’s robbing Manny Machado of a game-tying home run in the 8th inning of a clinching game. Go Brewers!

I'm a "raise the minimum wage to $20 and index to inflation" kind of guy, because nobody who works full time should struggle to cover their basic needs. When Democrats control the WI Legislature, raising the wage must be one of the first things on the agenda.

According to economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of NY, prices actually would have fallen slightly between 2025 and early 2026 but for Trump's tariffs, which raised prices an estimated 2.9%.

It's no secret that consumer goods cost more now than they did a year or two ago, and that the President's tariffs played a role in that. But how large was the effect of these tariffs?

If we don't reverse course, facilities will close, costs will rise, and our loved ones will be left with substandard care, if they can find it at all.

30% of caregivers nationwide are immigrants. The decision to block nearly all refugees and end Temporary Protected Status for legal immigrants from 13 countries is creating a workforce crisis at the worst possible time.

Finding caregivers for elderly & disabled relatives was never easy, but it's getting much harder under this President. 19% of the population is 65+, and most of them will need long-term care. Problem is, we don't have enough caregivers, and Trump's immigration policies are making it much worse.

High prices are bad enough, but when wage growth stops keeping pace with inflation, it’s even worse. It’s time to end tax incentives for businesses that fail to pay a living wage or provide cost of living adjustments for their workers.

The Admin routinely lies about the circumstances of these detentions, as evidenced by the fact that less than half of U.S. citizens detained for assault/obstruction of immigration officials were charged, and even many of those that were charged ultimately saw those charges dropped or dismissed.

They claim it’s not happening, but it most definitely is. At least 506 U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration enforcement agents during Trump’s second term. Among them have been dozens of children, some of whom were actually deported.

In mid-2025, Congress passed over $4 trillion in tax cuts that mostly benefit the rich and corporations. In the 1st year following the passage of OBBBA... Corporate Profits - 26.6% ⬆ Consumer Prices - 4% ⬆ Real Hourly Wages - 0.1% ⬆ Tax cuts don't trickle down. We need to make work pay again.
