Once again Vos and Fitzgerald try to scapegoat Milwaukee.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald is extending his party’s assault on Gov. Evers’ veto powers by targeting money that might be spent on Milwaukee city rail, which Republicans have been sand-bagging forever.

Myths about incarceration causes preventing real discussion of prison population reduction problems.

The transition back to civilian life is filled with obstacles large and small. And just as we took care of each other in combat, I believe veterans have a duty to make sure their fellow service members don’t get left behind as they reintegrate into society.

Gov. Tony Evers is ruling out the possibility that a portion of the $75 million in GPR set aside for transportation projects could fund the Milwaukee streetcar. DOT Secretary Craig Thompson on Thursday announced the administration will create a committee
The NRCC shared an overview of a new poll with WisPolitics.com that shows U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse, neck-and-neck with a “named Republican candidate.” But the House GOP’s campaign arm declined to release the identity of the Republican Kind

Digging deeper into Gov. Tony Evers’ state budget vetoes.

Many assume legislators are on summer break after passing the budget, and I can’t help but wonder why. After all, families are still struggling to make ends meet, thousands of us are still waiting for affordable health care and many public schools continue to lack much needed resources. The list is long, and I can honestly say I’m having trouble relaxing this “summer break” knowing our needs haven’t been met.

President Trump’s July 12 speech in Milwaukee reminded us that no matter what flashy issue dominates political headlines at any given moment, we need to continue to keep focus on how to make our economy stronger.

I hope everyone listens to Mueller’s House testimony. Yet don’t expect him to draw a simple road map for the unthinking. He clearly believes his report has outlined his findings and explains his limitations as a dutiful member of the Justice Department, which has opined that a sitting president can’t easily (some say ever) be criminally indicted.

Imagine if Barack Obama had said to Trump during his campaign of belittling America — if things are so bad, why don’t you go back to where you came from?

U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher wants to be seen as a reasonable Republican who is not as bigoted as the president, but he refuses to actually stand up to the president.

It was another lesson as to why government is essential in our lives, and the ones we pay to do this work are most deserving of our deep appreciation.
