I'm Dan Shafer, let's recombobulate.

Folks, we've got to talk about Derrick Van Orden. The second term congressman representing Wisconsin's Third District is at it again, dodging public meetings and making all kinds of unhinged comments. As many scramble and struggle to understand the chaos of what's happening in Washington D.C., and how it's impacting people here in Wisconsin, Van Orden has been as frustrating and disrespectful as ever.

In one instance, Van Orden took to social media to berate a veteran who had been fired from his job at the VA by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. And the veteran in question is simply someone who was just reaching out to his congressman, looking for answers. Van Orden's office has also hastily canceled public meetings and he has made some especially wild accusations about people who have been attending these public events. Congressman Van Orden needs to stop this unhinged madness and more importantly, be more available and accountable to his constituents.
