Joe Biden’s clearly running for reelection, and he’s clearly determined to make the defense of Social Security and Medicare central to his campaign. That’s a political message Biden is deft at delivering, as his #StateOfTheUnionAddress illustrated.

Outagamie needs a steady, experienced hand. We have major projects coming soon, like the airport expansion and renewable energy projects. We have key initiatives in the works to attract/retain talent to continue delivering top-notch services. We can’t change horses in midstream.

I’m proud of Outagamie. Together, we have invested $2.5 million of ARPA funding for expanding access to broadband. In this day and age, everyone deserves access to high-speed internet. It’s essential for our students and workforce.

Corporate America's purging of union manufacturing in Wisconsin continues unabated. Now, 160 Briggs & Stratton @steelworkers in Milwaukee are losing their jobs to low-wage, anti-union Alabama and Missouri. How long must this go on until we get serious and fight back? #1u

It would take more than eleven years to read the names of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, over the next two days we dedicate this page to keeping their stories alive. May their memory be a blessing. #NeverAgain

Fascinating read by . Forty-eight years later and campaigns haven't learned a pretty important lesson: voters seek genuine, honest and straightforward candidates. Then again, it's never too late to change. #2024

When Victor Navasky managed Ramsey Clark’s 1974 US Senate bid in NY, Clark won the Democratic nomination and mounted a seriously competitive November race. They did it with no polls, no 30-second TV spots and a $100 limit on campaign contributions. thenation.com/article/societ

Brilliant ad. Another homerun by and The Win Company. Ruben Gallego is exactly the kind of leader we need in the US Senate -- and these ads will make sure he gets there.

Growing up poor, all I had was the American dream. It kept me going: as a kid sleeping on the floor, a student scrubbing toilets, a Marine losing brothers in Iraq. Today, too many Arizonans see their dream slipping away. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to win it back for you!

Rising housing demand remains a top issue in the Fox Valley and is delivering. I'm grateful to our brilliant staff and community partners for getting shovels in the ground and making progress. Keep up the great work! ()

My two library books triggered the passenger seat belt alarm. Does that make me a book worm or book manatee?

Two years ago, Donald Trump and MAGA brought our country to the brink. The taproot of today's #GOPCircus lies in that treasonous behavior and willingness to destroy our democratic institutions and way of life in every way possible--literally and figuratively. #InsurrectionDay

Phil is a great American. Proud of his partnership with National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Coffee is not just good for getting you up in the morning or a source of anti-oxidants but fighting the scourge of domestic violence. Check it out: newmorningcoffeeroasters.com

Can we end this "Biden is too old to run for re-election" BS? My grandfather baled hay until he was 90 yrs old. Biden's got this. And let's not forget the record: Rallied free world against Putin Kept the Senate Invested $1T in infrastructure Fixed the economy

50 years ago today Roberto Clemente died in a plane crash while on his way aid victims of a devastating earthquake in Nicaragua. Say a prayer and give a donation to a good cause in his memory. Then read David Maraniss’s brilliant biography of this great athlete and humanitarian.
