It is PFAS Awareness Week. For years, Wisconsin communities dealt with PFAS contamination while $125 million to address it remained out of reach due to Republican inaction. Democrats fought to get that money moving. Now, it can help protect Wisconsin families.

Wisconsin drivers are paying an average of $4.44 a gallon at the pump. That’s nearly $1.53 more per gallon than a year ago. Wisconsin families shouldn't have to pay the price for reckless decisions made by Republicans and President Trump.

Today, more than 80,000 American service members remain missing or unaccounted for from conflicts dating back to World War II. Nearly 1,500 of them are from Wisconsin. This empty chair in the Capitol is a reflection of their absence. We must do more to bring our heroes home.

Wisconsin Senate Democrats retweeted
President Trump’s attempt to impose new restrictions on voting by mail just months before an election risks creating unnecessary confusion for voters and election officials. Voting by mail remains a legal and available option for Wisconsin voters.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later, we will never forget.

Wisconsinites who use insulin face unpredictable & overwhelming out-of-pocket costs. To address this, @SenBradPfaff introduced legislation to cap insulin costs at $35 for a monthly supply. It’s time for Wisconsin to join states across the country and make insulin more affordable!

Overturning Roe v. Wade put access to contraception in jeopardy. That's why @SenHesselbein introduced the Right to Contraception Act last year to safeguard access to contraception for Wisconsinites and prevent government interference in personal health care decisions.

Wisconsin agriculture thrives because of the dedication of our farmworkers. Today, we recognize their invaluable contributions to our state.

Wisconsin households are paying over $2,000 more this year for healthcare, gas, utilities and other goods under President Trump's tariffs, rising costs tied to the conflict with Iran, and Republicans' failure to address health care costs. The numbers speak for themselves!

President Trump promised to end foreign wars and lower costs. Instead, the conflict with Iran is driving up gas prices, making it even harder for Wisconsin families already struggling with rising costs. Wisconsinites shouldn't have to bear the cost of Trump's reckless decisions.

Last session, @StateSenLaTonya introduced Wisconsin's Missing Child Alert bill to help law enforcement quickly notify the public when a case doesn't qualify for an AMBER Alert. Now, eligibility has expanded from children under 10 to under 12, helping protect more families.

2/3 of Wisconsinites support legalizing recreational cannabis. It's time for the Legislature to act. Every year, Wisconsinites cross state lines to buy legal cannabis, sending tax dollars to neighboring states instead of investing them here at home. Let's move Wisconsin forward!

This session, Senate Democrats introduced 446 bills to address the issues that matter most to Wisconsinites. By refusing to act on these bills, Senate Republicans have ignored the voices of Wisconsinites. We need action, not obstruction. Senate Democrats are ready to get to work.

Some people leave a lasting mark on their communities. Tom Diehl was one of them. Kudos to Sen. Sarah Keyeski for championing the bipartisan legislation that @GovEvers signed into law, designating US Highway 12 in Lake Delton as the Tom Diehl Memorial Highway.

Congress recently overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill to help lower housing costs and build more homes but President Trump is refusing to sign it into law.
What was his take on families across Wisconsin struggling with rising rents, high home prices?
“It’s a yawn.”
