DELAFIELD, WI– The Senate Committee on Health is scheduled to hear testimony this morning on Senate Bill (SB) 328, legislation authored by Senator Mary Felzkowski (R-Irma) that aims to help lower the price of healthcare by helping consumers actually see
Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice and the undersigned congregations, organizations, clergy, and people of faith, stand together to affirm the dignity and worth of the LGBTQ+ community and to oppose dangerous legislation that causes harm to members of the community.
MADISON, Wis. – Following the Assembly Committee on Corrections’ public hearing on Assembly Bills 180, 181, 182, and 183, Representative Shelia Stubbs released the following statement: “Our criminal justice system is broken. When we release people from incarceration back into
Dear Wisconsin, We need to talk. I want to have a conversation based on fact and lived experience, grounded in reality and with the intention of learning, growing, and supporting the children of our state – all the children of our state.
WASHINGTON, DC – Following a vote to vacate the speakership, Representative Derrick Van Orden released the following statement: “Eight allegedly conservative members of the Republican Party just voted with Adam Schiff, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, Eric Swalwell, and every
MADISON, Wis. – Although a government shutdown was averted, you may have missed that every Republican member of Wisconsin’s congressional delegation voted for an extreme plan on Friday that would have forced devastating cuts to programs including nutrition assistance, low income heating assistance,
Marquette University researcher Qindan Huang is getting nearly $740,000 in federal funding to explore a method for protecting critical infrastructure from corrosion. Huang is an associate professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering in the Milwaukee university’s Opus College of
Could Gaetz’s grift be any more obvious? His performative conservatism any more odious? He is soliciting funds for a planned run for governor in 2026 (a likely stepping stone to a presidential bid two years later) by posing as a MAGA champion bravely taking down the hated Establishment. Gaetz isn’t stupid, but he’s counting on Trump’s supporters to be.
Some pundits are suggesting that Democrats should have been “the adults in the room” and rescued McCarthy. But this is piffle on stilts, because there was nothing adult about Kevin’s short and lamentable reign, and it would have been pointless for the Democrats to pretend it was worth propping up. Let’s review some of the key moments in his fall.
The most depressing thing about McCarthy’s fate is what it says about the state of our system. Practical politics, governing, doing what’s in the long-term best interests of the county or even of your party — all of that is in peril.
As the world watches and wonders what has happened to the leader of the free world, Americans continue to be embarrassed and stunned at the new and lower basement that the GOP has willingly taken the country.
I entered my University of Wisconsin presidency with a firm understanding of the university. Job one was to prepare the campuses to reopen for the fall 2020 semester.
Every governor, elected statewide by the people, should be able to pick their team.
Housing in Madison is not only unaffordable for the poorest Black families, its cost puts it out of the reach of median-income Black households in nearly every part of the city.
Big profits, big executive salaries. big donations, all paid for by rate payers.
The VA rule, inconspicuously called “Change in Rates VA Pays for Special Modes of Transportation,” would lower the reimbursements both ground and air ambulance providers receive when transporting a veteran in an emergency to a level substantially below the actual cost of service.
If the next bellwether case proceeds to trial, we may soon learn whether a jury believes PFAS causes these ailments. And if the jury finds against 3M, future PFAS litigation will not resemble past PCB litigation. Instead, it will mirror past asbestos litigation, potentially wiping out some companies.
The Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act offer critical protections by expanding access to the polls, preventing voter suppression, and ensuring everyone’s ballot counts.
It’s fitting that we celebrate the manufacturing companies and skilled manufacturing workers across our state because the manufacturing industry is Wisconsin’s leading economic contributor, accounting for roughly $68 billion – nearly 20% of Wisconsin’s GDP.
