Don’t forget the shady moves that led to Sarah Godlewski’s Secretary of State appointment and Mandela Barnes’ senate primary win.

Letting Enbridge, a corporation with a long history of illegal operations and oil spills, extend the 70-year-old Line 5 pipeline through the company’s proposed re-route is not a solution. It’s reckless, greedy behavior.

Milwaukee County Parks are at a crisis point, according to a recent Wisconsin Policy Forum report. The Daniel Hoan Foundation parks contest was launched to solicit innovative ideas to help restore these jewels and also reduce operating costs.

Presidents George Washington, James Buchanan, and James Madison, the father of the Constitution all were married, but childless.

Vance was clearly being glib to make a point. But the point is valid. Liberals are generally less happy than conservatives. The studies showing this have been replicated for decades.

Vance was once a “never Trumper,” but reversed course on entering the 2020 Senate race in Ohio when he decided he needed Trump’s endorsement to have a chance to win the Republican nomination. He suddenly became an outspoken supporter of the then-president and a spokesperson for Trump’s Big Lie.

“What I was hearing from is not some elite or donor class,” Baldwin said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “Every rally I went to, the 4th of July parades that I attended in northern Wisconsin, just average people were coming up, and they so respect the work that Joe Biden has done. But they were conveying to me and asking me to convey to the president that they appreciate his work, and they asked him to step aside.”

Four groups have registered with the state over the past three months signaling plans to engage voters ahead of the Aug. 13 primary on constitutional amendments that would give lawmakers a say over how federal funds are spent in Wisconsin.

GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde is out with a new TV ad that accuses U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, of lying because “that’s what career politicians do when they get in trouble.”

The 36-second YouTube digital ad, “Denied,” shows Chloe Harris, who was denied an abortion in Phoenix the day Roe v. Wade was overturned, speaking about the contrast between Trump and Harris’ stance on abortion.

Republican Voters Against Trump announced a $500,000 ad campaign in swing states highlighting Republicans who plan to vote for Harris in November.

There have been several bipartisan wins signed into law, but we can and must do much more in the next session. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ideas that address these problems by reforming the system to empower consumers and our healthcare professionals.

Wisconsin continues to rise through the ranks for agricultural exports and now sits just outside the top 10 states at 11th place. This is up from when our state ranked 13th in the nation in 2021.

The delivery firms do pay gas taxes, of course, but as those vehicles become more fuel efficient and some switch to electric vehicles, gas taxes are falling woefully short of paying the bills. Not surprisingly, some states are exploring ways to recoup some of the lost revenues.

The necessary hypocrisy of living in late-stage capitalism while trying to build a better future.

Kamala Harris could appeal to voters who were not excited by Biden.

I’m a conservative who is dedicated to the idea of American exceptionalism and American leadership. That is precisely why I can’t vote for Donald Trump again. If you share my belief, I want you to know you’re not alone.

We can cool down the current political environment that has been running at an all-time high in this country if we choose love over hate. But it takes all of us.

The economic and substantive crater of the RNC.
