What the Heck Was That??

We aren’t Democrats if we don’t go from being an eternal optimist to what the heck was that!

A Stellar Week for Democrats

Wow! What a week!

Trump Came in Like a Wrecking Ball

The GOP may be having Tea Party finance flashbacks.

The number one thing you have to do this weekend is join a No Kings protest… rain or shine.

The Trump Government Shutdown Continues

As of writing, the Trump Government Shutdown has entered day eight. Slight tweak to the memory: This is Trump’s third government shutdown. He had two in his first term.

We're Fighting for Healthcare

We are shutting down, because Donald Trump thinks he’s a king. This was totally avoidable, but Donald Trump told Republicans, ‘Don’t negotiate with Democrats.’...

Never Doubt That You Can Change The World

Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

It’s Fun to Take Action

Until 2020, car crashes were the leading cause of death for American children. Starting in 2020, gun injuries have been the number one cause of death between the ages of 1 and 17. From 2013 to 2022, gun suicide rates between the age of 10 and 17 increased by 40 percent. Think about that.

A Tragic Week

I will start by sharing the Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party’s statement regarding Charlie Kirk being killed at Utah Valley University.

Deb Dassow, DPOC Chair 8/30/25 Deb Dassow, DPOC Chair 8/30/25

Guns don’t kill people… yeah right.

School has not started yet for most Wisconsin kids and school should be a place where our kids and neighbors’ kids and grandkids are safe.

Only Republican votes count?

I used to joke that someday Republicans will create a system where only their votes can be counted.

Tell Us What’s on Your Mind

I feel like I need to check in with you every once in a while.

“We Don’t Talk About Epstein”

So will there be a crack in the cosmic egg that is the MAGA cult, or will they literally all drink the Kool-Aid?

Join Us at the Fair

Come to the Ozaukee Fair this weekend and say “hi” to us at our booth.

Keep Showing Up

I will not downplay the extreme danger Trump and his Klan poses, now calling for the arrest of President Obama and other political opponents, but it is hard to watch him desperately blabber on against the backdrop of our now gold-painted Oval Office and think anyone should take him seriously.

Deb Dassow, DPOC Chair 7/25/25 Deb Dassow, DPOC Chair 7/25/25

Make Good Trouble

Just so I am understanding the MAGA Republicans clearly, House Republicans on Tuesday blocked a Democratic attempt to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, with zero Republicans supporting the measure. The final vote was 211 to 210.
