The victor will succeed Ben Wikler.
The victor will succeed Ben Wikler.
If Evers were truly adhering to the court’s directive, he would have made the smallest possible changes to balance populations, not orchestrated a wholesale transfer of tens of thousands of voters to reshape electoral outcomes.
The GOP-led House passage of the misnamed “One Big Beautiful Act” cuts taxes mostly for the wealthy, shreds food aid and health care coverage, and massively increases the national debt.
Medicaid cuts are what the Senators will be most attuned to as they now take up the highly flawed and overly mean-spirited House bill.
What did Democrats know and who will be held accountable?
Under the Trump administration, a troubling narrative has emerged that America might as well have a metaphorical “For Sale” sign plastered across its forehead—or perhaps, more aptly, Uncle Sam’s.
It’s bizarre, but for some reason our politicians view fixing our infrastructure to accommodate faster and more reliable passenger trains as prohibitively expensive, but think nothing of building billion-dollar interchanges and adding a couple of lanes to highway corridors that cost billions more.
Despite promises of choice and competition, voucher programs have repeatedly failed to demonstrate academic improvements for students.
The jobs being eliminated are already of those working in classrooms.
By supporting clean energy solutions, energy efficiency measures, and creative management of our grid, we can reliably support the around-the-clock energy needs of data centers and the needs of everyday Wisconsinites.
Developers need more certainty if housing market to rebound for middle earners.
Historic cuts jeopardize our health and wellbeing.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority should reject this challenge to the congressional map as it did the last one if it wants to retain even a shred of credibility.
Taxpayers will pay outside pathologists $30,000 to sort out the recriminations at the Madison Department of Civil Rights. In the meantime, the reality is that Director Norman Davis is guilty until proven innocent. That’s how woke works.
The Chicago Tribune informed us the next day that the last dust storm to hit Chicago occurred on May 31, 1985 — and the last one of this kind of magnitude in Chicago happened during those Dust Bowl days in the early to mid-1930s.
If you are on two wheels when you are killed, you are guilty until proven innocent.
Trump, a mogul and dealmaker, aims to acquire Canada, Greenland and Gaza. Are these far-fetched whims? No.
Our self-anointed master deal-maker, President Donald Trump, gave away the store when he told Vladimir Putin at the get-go that he could keep the land he seized in Ukraine as part of a Trumpian peace deal. With that concession in hand, Putin did not decrease the hostilities against Ukraine; he ramped up his aggression to expand the seized territory.
New Marquette poll finds 56% approve of border security policies, only 34% on inflation and cost of living.
I hope that someone with a distinguished legal background and no obvious ideological or partisan leanings will step up to run.
