Wisconsin is a leader in biotechnology and personalized medicine. That’s why I worked to bring a Tech Hub to our state. It was great to be in Madison with so many incredible leaders who are working to grow our biotech sector and improve health care for patients.

Reminder: Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” kicked millions of Americans off their health insurance and took away food assistance from millions of working families. There’s nothing beautiful about that.

Every Wisconsin family deserves clean water coming out of their faucets. I was proud to help deliver funding to remove lead pipes in our communities and protect Wisconsinites’ health.

Time and time again, Republicans have chosen to let Trump’s illegal war of choice continue, raising your costs, endangering our troops, and wasting taxpayer dollars.

Fewer grants mean fewer resources for schools and universities to invest in education programs like mental health support and childcare for student parents. This only hurts our students, and it’s all part of Trump’s plan to abolish the Department of Education.

Wisconsin families want trains that give them a convenient and safe way to travel across our state and beyond. That’s why I couldn’t be happier to deliver funding that gets us closer to making that a reality.

Dairy farmers are already struggling with fewer market opportunities and record-high fuel prices because of Trump’s trade war and war in Iran. The last thing they need is this critical program that helps them, put at risk. www.leadertelegram.com/country-toda...

Reheating 2020 lies Directing the USPS to restrict mail-in voting Threatening to deploy armed federal agents to our polling places President Trump is doing all of this to avoid responsibility for his broken promises this November — but we will hold him accountable.

The fight for affordable health care is a personal one for me. After being hospitalized as a kid, no insurance company would cover me – for any price. We can and must address this crisis – and I sure hope my Republican colleagues will join me. www.washingtonsun.com/health/aca-p...

Some parents dropped their kids off at school for the last time ever today. Let that sink in. No parent should ever suffer this heartbreak. My heart is with all of Oregon today. Don’t accept this as normal, we can and must do more to stop this senseless violence. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

cbsnews.com3 children, 1 adult killed in shooting at Bend, Oregon, elementary school, sources say; suspect deadAt least four people were killed in Thursday's shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News. The suspect is also dead.

Republicans have successfully ripped away tax breaks that help working families afford health care while also kicking millions of folks off their health care coverage. And the kicker is that they STILL don’t have a health care plan.

Supporting dairy shouldn't be a partisan issue. That's why my Republican colleague and I created a program to help dairy farmers and cheesemakers develop new products and grow. Now, President Trump is trying to shut down the program. I'm fighting to save it. www.wpr.org/news/usda-fu...

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! Today, we honor the Native Nations and Indigenous peoples who came before all of us. Wisconsin is home to rich Indigenous culture, tradition, and many contributions from our Tribal neighbors that have made our state and country stronger.

This upgrade for Appleton would have cut energy costs for years to come. Wisconsin families deserve to have their hard-earned dollars invested back in their communities, but President Trump is playing politics.

We can't let baseless lies and intimidation tactics from the Trump Administration stop folks from casting their ballots. That’s why I’m on the ground talking to the election officials who work hard to keep Wisconsin elections safe and secure. www.news8000.com/video/baldwi...

$43 billion in taxpayer money could have been spent on making childcare more affordable or helping families afford their health care, but instead, the president chose to spend your money on another war in the Middle East.

I’ve been meeting with election workers across Wisconsin who keep our elections safe, fair, and free — including the Clerks here in La Crosse. We had a great conversation about what they are doing to make sure Wisconsinites’ votes are counted and your voices are heard.

The cost of housing is crushing our families. And instead of helping Wisconsinites afford the roof over their heads, the Trump Administration is choosing to slash resources that help families in our rural communities afford a home.

Americans' health and well-being must come before the president’s political agenda. That means taxpayer funds should be spent on what experts think is the best bet for medical breakthroughs, not spent on pet projects for Trump and his loyalists. I will keep fighting these threats to your healthcare.

When towns and cities spend more on gas for garbage trucks, fire trucks, and snowplows, they have to make cuts elsewhere. Wisconsinites want their tax dollars going to public safety, schools, and parks – not higher gas prices from Trump’s war in Iran. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

wpr.orgWisconsin’s municipalities feeling the pinch of high fuel costsWith diesel and gasoline roughly doubling in cost since last year, many Wisconsin municipalities are over budget and facing tough choices for their 2027 budgets.

Wisconsin elections are safe and secure because of our local election officials on the ground. While the president continues to undermine their work and avoid accountability, I met with folks in Green Bay who are working hard to make sure Wisconsinites’ voices are heard.

My job is to look out for our farmers and work to give them a fair shot. They are being robbed of that opportunity with these high diesel costs because of the President’s war in Iran, and it’s got to end now. captimes.com/news/governm...

captimes.comWisconsin farmers bear brunt of high gas prices, Sen. Baldwin saysSen. Tammy Baldwin called for an end to the Iran war during a tour of a Dane County farm last week. Wisconsin diesel prices are up nearly 90% since 2025.

Our farmers work harder than just about anyone I know, but the president’s war in the Middle East is only making things harder for our family farms. Today, I visited Generations Beef here in Mt. Horeb to talk about how this chaos is impacting their operations.

It’s been over a year since the Trump Administration chose to shut down 988’s Press 3 option for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. I wrote a law requiring them to restore it. I’m glad this lifesaving help is back, but these political games are putting lives at risk. www.wbay.com/2026/09/30/s...

wbay.comSpecialized 988 crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth restoredSpecialized 988 crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth will be restored today, after the option ended last year.

Today, 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline’s “Press 3” option to help LGBTQ children is back up and running. The Trump administration never should have taken this lifesaving help away in the first place.

Yesterday, I forced a Senate vote to prevent 2 million Americans from having their health care terminated and millions of others from having their health care costs jacked up. Republicans killed it.

📈 Jacking up out-of-pocket health care costs 📉 Reducing your benefits for the same plan 👋🏻 Terminating care for two million Americans Today, Republicans chose this for working families.

Farmers who have worked hard and played by the rules are now on the verge of financial collapse because the war in Iran is squeezing them on all sides. It doesn’t have to be like this — the president is choosing for it to be like this.

This administration hasn’t got their way to totally shut down the Department of Education, so instead, they are throwing sand in the gears and making life harder for schools. Make no mistake, this will have real consequences for our families and schools. www.npr.org/2026/09/24/n...
