I hope that someone with a distinguished legal background and no obvious ideological or partisan leanings will step up to run.
Two maps of Wisconsin produced by the MacIver Institute reveal two very different political realities in the state.
We want our children to grow through sports — to learn discipline, resilience, teamwork. But how can they do that when they’re busy navigating unspoken racial double standards?
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary Americans to the top of American society.
I urge our elected officials — especially those who have said they want to protect “the vulnerable” — to stop these irresponsible cuts to Medicaid.
The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA), introduced last Congress, would inject competition into the marketplace and correct the failures that have allowed swipe fees to grow out of control.
Now that the media itself is admitting that the last two years of Joe Biden’s administration was a giant lie — that Biden was essentially senile and his staff was running the country — the important questions to ask are: How morally bankrupt are they, and how in the world did they think they could get away with it?

Can Bryce take down Steil, a prodigious fundraiser who does his best to avoid controversy in a district that has not elected a Democrat since 1993?
Excessive regulation would discourage tourism, reduce accessibility for physically challenged individuals, and lacks scientific justification.
At the end of the day, while all the measures the GOP are seeking are positive, none are transformative. Until we unequivocally strip the bureaucracies of any lawmaking power, the bureaucracies and their progressive allies will find ways to manipulate the system.
The GOP-led House is in a quandary over extending the tax cuts, which are due to expire at the end of the year, while also reducing the deficit.
