As the federal shutdown drags on, Social Security beneficiaries are facing longer-than-usual waits and, in some cases, services have been paused entirely.
Staff aren’t able to deliver documentation to people who need it to stay in their homes, and no one is picking up the phone to help.
Meanwhile, around 750,000 federal employees are furloughed and unpaid, adding personal and community stress.
With every day that Tom Tiffany and his party choose to keep the government shutdown active, they are making a deliberate choice to fuel chaos that harms Wisconsinites’ lives.
This is more than a failure to lead, it’s an intentional decision with real consequences that are being felt by hardworking families across our state — disrupting our communities, our economy, and jeopardizing our future.
Wisconsinites deserve leaders committed to their well-being, not political gamesmanship.
Sara and our team are doing all we can to connect with Wisconsinites struggling due to this reprehensible failure to lead, to do the jobs our lawmakers were elected to do.
Can you chip in today to hold Tiffany and Republicans in Washington accountable?
