The chaotic and contradictory decisions by the Trump Administration continue to increase the cost of living and make life harder across the board for Wisconsinites including our families, consumers, and farmers.

Senate Democrats were ready to ban partisan gerrymandering at today's special session. We are ready to lower gas, grocery, and housing costs. Republicans failed to show up and have not scheduled any more legislative sessions in 2026. Time for a change!

Expanding access to occupational licenses for Dreamers opens doors to the American Dream, addresses workforce shortages, and boosts our economy. Legislative Dems fought hard for this bill. Thanks to @TimCarpenterMKE and @SenChrisLarson for their advocacy on this legislation!

[Wisconsin Senate Democrats @SenateDemsWI]

A bright spot from the Senate's final regular session was the vote to extend access to occupational licenses to Dreamers. Senator @TimCarpenterMKE and @SenChrisLarson were among the champions of this bill. Appreciate their advocacy!

Reverend Jackson passed away this morning. He suffered from Parkinson's Disease, a very difficult illness that also impacted my mom. My thoughts are with his family.

[Tim Carpenter @TimCarpenterMKE]

Reverend Jesse Jackson was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement, an icon who showed us that nonviolent direct action can change the world
It was an honor to meet him, and it is an honor to carry forward in his legacy of fighting for social justice and civil rights. #KeepHopeAlive

State Senator @TimCarpenterMKE’s (MA ’96) extensive career began at age 24 when he was first elected to the legislature. He has helped pass a wide range of legislation, often using the analytical skills he gained at La Follette to make policy decisions.https://t.co/GrCsjO3Mfi

Vel Phillips was a trailblazer in her lifetime, shattering the glass ceiling for many women and Black Wisconsinites.

Her statue is the first-ever of a Black leader to be placed on Wisconsin state capitol grounds.

Committee procedures like this have been used as “legislative vetoes” preventing our state’s agencies from enacting programs that have already been approved. The Court’s ruling today clarifies that has not been appropriate under our state’s constitutional framework.

[Tim Carpenter @TimCarpenterMKE]

Among the decisions released by the WI Supreme Court today were two significant updates
1st, the Court found Drop Boxes are permitted under state law, meaning municipal clerks can once again use them as an option for voters to return their absentee ballots

[Tim Carpenter @TimCarpenterMKE]

Second, the Court ruled 6-1 that once funding for a project under the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has been approved by the Legislature and the Governor, the Joint Committee on Finance can no longer prevent the DNR from spending those funds.

#Juneteenth marking emancipation of enslaved people in U.S. Pres. Lincoln signed Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but it wasn't until June 19, 1865 when Union Army General Gordon Granger informed enslaved people in Galveston, Texas of their new freedom. 📸: WHI Image ID 77662

[Wisconsin Senate Democrats @SenateDemsWI]
