This... is WRONG, and it NEEDS to be reversed. The 2018 farm bill, and the hemp-derived THC language in it, made legal products that saved my mind, body, and soul.

We need to act, all American citizens, and fight this. For the sake of many people that have it worse than me. People that are feeling daily unbearable pain, that no other products seem to ease. People that are dying of untreatable fatal illnesses, and have hemp-derived THC as the ONLY relief from their symptoms of nausea... people that have found new peace with their mental health thanks to the psychoactive benefits of hemp-derived THC.

Not to even speak of the entire industry that has sprang up since 2018 that will now be demolished.

This change needs to be stopped. It cannot be allowed to occur. It is wrong.

Stealing from the poor to give to the rich: Tammy Baldwin on Trump's reverse Robin Hood bill

"We could have written a bill that really helped working people and the middle class get ahead. But no, they are focused on this massive transfer of wealth"

The Contrarian

Are there any Representatives or Senators will the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the President and actual do what Congress is supposed to do? A lot of what the President is doing is unconstitutional or at the very least in a vast grey area. We don't have a king but it seems the Congress is content to allow the President to act like one.

Hey @pocan.house.gov and #TammyBaldwin: I expect you to fight like hell against tfg. We need to stop tfg actions. People will die.

#TammyBaldwin won #Wisconsin; #Harris lost

" the key to Baldwin’s victory was an understanding, rooted in Wisconsin history but not well understood by national #Democrats, that voters are ready to respond to explicit appeals for working-class solidarity in the face of plutocratic overreach... Baldwin spent her time on factory floors with union workers and in the countryside with small farmers. Her ads featured Teamsters explaining how she had helped save their pensions" https://progressive.org/magazine/what-wisconsin-taught-us-nichols-20241206/

What Wisconsin Taught Us

Trump won in Wisconsin—but so did U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat who campaigned as a defender of abortion rights, a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and perhaps most importantly, a Wisonsinite.
