When Congressman Tom Tiffany voted for the Big, Ugly Bill, he voted to cut healthcare funding for Wisconsinites. I’m going to fight to make sure we expand BadgerCare so everyone can get the care they need.

Political violence is a serious issue. But it’s not a “both sides” issue. The leaders of the Democratic Party do not call for violence, do not elevate violent supporters, do not pardon violent thugs who attack our seat of government and our elections. America is under threat from the right.

In a story on political violence (where they depict the targets as equally democratic and republican), the @nytimes.com gives a sympathetic ear to a member of Congress who was part of January 6.

Representative Derrick Van Orden, a Republican from Wisconsin seeking re-election next month, attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in support of President Trump’s false claim that he had won the 2020 election. Mr. Van Orden was outside the U.S. Capitol that day when a mob attacked it, though he has denied entering the building. He was elected to Congress in 2022That’s when the threats began. “I was a Navy SEAL for over 22 years,” Mr. Van Orden said in an interview with The Times. “I hunted terrorists around the world a lot and was very successful at that. Never had a single threat to my family. Ever.”

Whoever wins the governorships in the battleground states will certify the 2028 presidential election. There are election deniers running, in Wisconsin and elsewhere. We've got to beat them. My new NYT op-ed:

Thank you Bert, Chuck, and Kriss for showing me around the Paris Family Farm. As your next governor, I’m committed to fighting for our farmers and lowering costs to protect your bottom line.
