@JuForthePeople Take the bus. Badger Bus runs multiple 30 times a day between Madison and Milwaukee.

@emmartin173 @samstein What state government position did he hold? He was a special prosecutor for Ashland County for 2 yrs, Ashland Co DA for 8, US Rep for 9 yrs.

@SenatorBaldwin It would be nice to actually read the article. Keeping up with the news has become expensive and just frustrating with all the giant publishing companies trying to get a piece of the pie with paywalls.

@davepl1968 High School freshman at the time. I was in Global Studies class with Mr. Everix watching it live. He is one of 2 freshman year teachers' names that I can remember. This our version of "where were you when Kennedy was shot?"

@GovEvers I know whoever is posting on your behalf will not answer this, but why do you want tax payer money to only benefit those who go to government run schools? Shouldn't public funds go to educating the public, no matter where they go to school?

@arlenparsa I'll take someone who ran a successful business without a bachelor's degree any day of the week over some one with a bachelor's degree who could only find work behind a bar.

@dpsp1231 @GuntherEagleman Add in their staff. The staff members don't have the connections and are more likely to be living paycheck to paycheck.

@SenatorBaldwin Senator Baldwin, subsidizing health insurance/care does nothing to lower costs. It merely shifts who pays for it.

[Amy Schmidt @Amy_Schmidt]

@SenatorBaldwin Senator Baldwin, subsidizing is not the same as lowering costs, it simply shifts the responsibility.

@MorganVonDrake @TaraBull808 https://t.co/hlc1ZHw0ip If this is at all accurate, it can make sense. I'm guessing his security detail are experienced officers, with a rank of at least Sergeant. If overtime is included in salary, it is very possible for that kind of salary expense.

@ConservBrief I more ticked off at "The King's Shutdown"

@ResisttheMS That darn vast right wing conspiracy.

@DOGE__news The kind you play in a stolen car.

@terrysquires @Brink_Thinker We had a bell just like that at my house growing up and knew that when we heard it to get home fast.

@RedDr0gon @thecavedaddy @SenDuckworth Unless you die before retirement. Then every penny paid in will just be gone. Or, like my father, he only collected SS for 1 year.

[Amy Schmidt @Amy_Schmidt]

@SenDuckworth Then, as a child of someone who died after collecting SS retirement benefits for only 1 year, who can my siblings and I contact to collect the outstanding funds?

@4thOfJuly365 A about 80% of the time.

@MrSonicAdvance @CNviolations It depends on the state. Some states, life means life. Others, life means possibility of parole after a set amount of years.

@randomguyXVII @libsoftiktok You got that right! That averages out to more than $45 million per person.

[Amy Schmidt @Amy_Schmidt]

@cspan @SenThomTillis @SenAlexPadilla Being a senator is not a free pass to do what he did and act like he did. The actions taken by the security detail were a direct result of his actions. The elite status that elected officials believe is due to them is ridiculous.
