The next victim could be you or someone you hold dear who simply called the police for protection. Who will protect us from the police?
If we are to meet all of our objectives to decarbonize the economy, we must stop constructing new fossil fuel infrastructure and continue to invest heavily in clean, renewable sources of electrical energy.
In the flush of environmental activism of the last century, perhaps no single law has had bigger environmental and economic impacts than the 1972 Clean Water Act.
The national debt is now more than $35 trillion. Soon, interest payments will become the largest spending category in the entire federal budget, and there are no signs of that changing anytime soon.
Biden shows how to get it done.
Rep. Katrina Shankland, D-Stevens Point, knocked 3rd CD primary rival Rebecca Cooke after a group backing Cooke’s campaign started running an ad claiming Shankland is “working for Republicans, not you.”
Cooke’s campaign fired back that Shankland needs to answer for her record on health care as attacks between the candidates escalated two weeks out from the Aug. 13 primary, which will decide who faces off against incumbent U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, in November.
Baldwin, D-Madison, reported nearly $2.6 million in receipts between July 1-24, $3.5 million in expenses and $6.3 million in the bank to close the pre-primary period. Hovde reported $374,220 raised, $2.7 million spent and $3.1 million in the bank.

Across the country, poorly designed ballot drop box programs have been widely associated with election security concerns. If the procedures surrounding the drop box security, use, and placement are not transparent, fair, and honest, drop boxes have the potential to upend voter confidence.
Expanding Medicaid isn’t just popular, it’s also the right thing to do. It’s about giving more people the chance to live healthier, more stable lives.
Voting “yes” on both amendments emphasizes a desire for greater legislative involvement and oversight in financial matters. On the other hand, a “no” vote gives preference to the current system where the governor retains significant control over financial decisions regarding federal funding.
If you were to define success as catering to the fringe whims of the far-left and putting our children’s future in harm’s way, Kamala Harris would be the most accomplished politician in American history.
For those with sincere curiosity about the region, there is writing about Appalachian life far more thoughtful and thorough and far less self-serving than the pad Vance used to launch his political career, by authors who’ve spent lifetimes actually living there.
Why is Donald Trump running so hard from the Heritage Foundation’s 920-page Project 2025 document? Why are the Democrats trying to tie him so closely to it? In a word, abortion.
How one party is talking about immigration is Exhibit No. 1: Infestation. Criminals. Rapists. Poison. Vermin. Invasion. You can be concerned about immigration and not be a racist, but these words are a very big tell. Exhibit No. 2: Republicans’ reactions to Kamala Harris’ all-but-certain ascension to become Democrats’ presidential nominee. She is a DEI hire, prominent Republicans have been saying.
