Should the governor or the Legislature have the power of the purse over federal funds?
If you’re not rich, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson doesn’t think you should have children. J.D. Vance makes a populist pitch to “the forgotten men and women of America.” But he’s more interested in shaming women who don’t have children than he is in actual family-friendly policies.
Residents in the 8th CD will vote in two separate elections that will have the same names on the same ballot for the same position, but only to serve different terms.
GOP US Senate candidate says Black men have lived on ‘handouts’ and ‘welfare checks.’
Wisconsin would join 34 other states whose governors and legislators share authority over major federal funding allocations.
The Democratic field depends on whether Gov. Tony Evers decides to run for a third term.
The data for Wisconsin, nation offers a less euphoric conclusion.
The energy was palpable as approximately 3,000 supporters gathered for Vice President Kamala Harris’ inaugural rally of her presidential campaign, some traveling from as far as Iowa to witness this historic event at West Allis Central High School.
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.

Biden shows how to get it done.

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.
