I'm proud to report that the wait is over: “Devotion” is being made into a major motion picture! When it films in early 2021, “Devotion” will be the first American-made Korean War movie since the “The Bridges of Toko-Ri” and “Pork Chop Hill” that came out in the 1950s!

Many Wisconsinites fought for the Right to Try and @realDonaldTrump saw its value. It’s all about freedom. Thanks, @RCamposDuffy

Right to try is a big deal. @realDonaldTrump and @SenRonJohnson deserve so much credit for this life-saving legislation. Bias mainstream media has not given it much attention or sufficiently informed the public about who made it happen.

#OTD in 1943, the U.S. Senate passed the first, and thus far only, national childcare program, voting $20,000,000 to provide for public care of children whose mothers were employed for the duration of #WWII #History

Here's something we can all agree on. Proud to announce legislation w/ @SenatorBaldwin to rename the @USPS in Port Washington after #WWII veteran Joe Demler. He worked there nearly 4 decades after surviving a Nazi POW camp. Every Day is a Bonus. ronjohnson.senate.gov/public…

I have heroes on my staff. For the past 9 months my Comms Dir. has been working while coping with kidney failure. Another staffer gave him the gift of life. Their surgeries were postponed due to #COVID, but now they are both finally on the road to recovery. #DonateLife

UPDATE: Everything went great today. Surgery was successful, kidney is working I’m getting some rest. Thank you to everyone for your support! #DonateLife

I will not tolerate excessive use of force or police brutality. George Floyd’s murder is a despicable act, that this act was perpetrated by someone that was sworn to uphold the law should anger ethical law enforcement leaders. @OzaukeeSheriff
