This is a naked, undemocratic power grab. Instead of focusing on an unneeded constitutional amendment, Wisconsin lawmakers should focus on accountability from those officials who administer our elections.
The horror in New Orleans had absolutely nothing to do with our supposedly “open border’s policy.”
It all changes in just two weeks, when another four years of negativity and orchestrated chaos begins.
We can’t plan for every contingency with the incoming administration, but we can prepare ourselves. Whether the price of gas, health care, student loan debt, or any other basic, every facet of our lives could be impacted. We should resolve now to prepare our financial house to weather the coming storm.
Electronic health information breaches exploded under the Biden Administration, and the person front and center throughout this meltdown was HHS Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm, formerly Wisconsin’s Health Services secretary-designee.
Milwaukee Water Works is a member of AWWA, which is suing the EPA to reverse lead pipe replacement requirements. It is disgraceful that our city’s public water utility is a member of an organization that is, once again, compromising public health.
Ozone designation will bring harsh anti-growth regulations to those living downwind of Chicago.
Oh what a year it was. Here are the top 10 news stories, plus honorable mentions.
Well, 2025 is upon us, and many view the coming year with trepidation. But before we forget 2024, and with apologies to Harper’s Index, here are a few other numbers for the record.
The past year was filled with many great moments and others that were not so great. Here are my thoughts on some of the best and worst of 2024.
While there was a slight glimmer of hope in December as House Republicans rejected the attempt by Trump to wheel and deal with the debt limit for his personal advantage, we know that in most cases as we move forward the spineless congressional Republicans will forget that Trump is not their king.
The benefits of an anti-SLAPP law would extend beyond newsrooms.
Wisconsin, you’ve once again put your faith in me to fight for our state, and that’s a responsibility I do not take lightly. I’ll continue showing up, listening, and working for you every day to live up to our state motto: ‘Forward.’ Now, it’s time to get to work.
These are terrible times; let’s make the most of them.
President Biden and his lieutenants provided relative stability in our governance for four years, protected our institutions, and dealt professionally with issues affecting jobs, the economy and our international alliances.
Since the beginning of this year, Wisconsin has created only 15,800 jobs, and 7,800 of these were government jobs. This is hardly good news for Wisconsinites.
Civil asset forfeiture arrests property, not people, and takes it from people often without due process or, on the federal level and in many states, even a criminal conviction. Wisconsin reformed its laws in 2018, making it a model, but that’s a low bar because many loopholes still exist for the government.
We have a candidate who is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the teacher union or a wind-up toy for the Democrat(ic) party. Her name is Brittany Kinser out of Wauwatosa.
The integration of AI into radio broadcasting is not a new phenomenon; however, the pace of its adoption is accelerating. AI chatbots and voice technologies are now capable of hosting talk shows, curating playlists, and even engaging with listeners in real time.
