When newspapers like The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times refuse to make endorsements in contests for the presidency — and when other newspapers drop the practice of making endorsements altogether — they reject the basic premise of freedom of the press in the United States.
Pray in pew Sunday morning, laugh at lewd racist jokes at his rally in evening.
I suppose I get why Donald Trump had a big rally at Madison Square Garden the other night and why his campaign filled the Garden with crude, hate-filled speakers. His closing strategy is to turn out disaffected young men who otherwise wouldn’t vote. But did it cost him more than he’ll get?
When Trump had the chance, he failed to protect us from PFAS, which has so far been detected in the drinking water of more than 7,000 communities.
Despite lots of lip-service about helping small business headed into the 2024 election, our political leaders are leaving “the little guy” behind.

Under current Wisconsin state law, health insurers are required to provide one annual mammogram to women under 50 and two to women aged 45-49 who meet certain criteria, all with no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. However, for women with dense breasts and others who have high risk factors, a mammogram alone just isn’t enough.
FDA should allow, improve substitutes to cigarettes.
Voters overwhelmingly favor job requirement, but state has waived it for years, swelling benefits rolls by 56,000 adults a month.
The number of annual union petitions in the state has more than doubled in recent years, suggesting interest in unionization is on the rise even as the share of Wisconsin workers in unions has fallen substantially. Wisconsin had a total
