“Immigration has become an increasingly divisive and politically charged issue, which has made it difficult to make needed reforms based on a bipartisan consensus. It’s hard to remember that it was only a decade ago, the U.S. Senate once found it possible to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation. This week, President Biden announced several new immigration measures while calling on Congressional Republicans to join Democrats in working to develop and pass a comprehensive immigration policy that will address the many root causes of the migration, rather than continuing to demonize immigrants fleeing whose lives are at-risk and who are fleeing

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today signed Executive Order #183, declaring an energy emergency in the state of Wisconsin. Due to persisting challenges caused by weeks of severe winter weather and the impact it has on the distribution of residential heating fuel, including heating oil and propane, this Executive Order will allow for the swift and efficient delivery of these products throughout the state.   “Over the past weeks, residents and industry alike have had to deal with the challenges of severe winter weather and its impact on everyday necessities.

MILWAUKEE – Each year, Milwaukee Riverkeeper releases an Annual River Basin Report Card, detailing the health of the Milwaukee River Basin’s three major waterways: the Milwaukee River, the Menomonee River and the Kinnickinnic River. This year’s report highlights the progress that’s been made since the Clean Water Act was passed nearly 50 years ago. That landmark legislation laid the groundwork for groups like Milwaukee Riverkeeper to push for strong river protections and enforcement of regulations.  “We have come a long way from the days when the Kinnickinnic River and Lincoln Creek used to catch on fire.  It’s worth celebrating the 50th

Washington, D.C. – Look Ahead America (LAA)’s Executive Director Matt Braynard made the following statement on the second anniversary of January 6th. Two years ago today, our federal government, in cooperation with state-aligned media and American-last politicians, made the decision to politically persecute hundreds of innocent Americans as “domestic terrorists” in order to construct a false narrative of an “insurrection.” This false narrative was weaponized against patriots across the country whether they were serving in our military or speaking out at school board meetings, or had ever asked aloud if election integrity could be improved. As of today, 933 Americans

Jan. 6, 2023 — Last Monday night, we joined the millions of others across the world who watched in disbelief as Damar Hamlin went into sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed during an NFL game. While the scene was shocking, the rapid response of medical personnel was amazing — and undoubtedly gave Mr. Hamlin a far better chance at survival. While Mr. Hamlin benefitted from the world-class medical care provided by the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals and National Football League, that kind of quick, life-saving action should be available to anyone, anywhere. And with Project ADAM, it can be. Project ADAM is

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) today released the following statement after Governor Tony Evers announced he would ban the use of TikTok on state government devices. “TikTok is a CCP trojan horse that can track someone’s location, monitor their keystrokes, and collect other pieces of sensitive information about them. This app belongs nowhere near any part of our government and I’m glad Governor Evers finally made the decision to ban TikTok on state devices. Now that Governor Evers has recognized the threat posed by the app, I hope he will also delete his campaign’s TikTok account.” Last month, Rep. Gallagher led Republicans in Wisconsin’s Congressional Delegation in calling

MADISON, Wis. — Today, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement marking the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol: “Today, we mark the second anniversary of a horrific and devastating attack on our democracy and the rule of law.
