Policymakers on both sides of the aisle spend a lot of time talking about ways to strengthen rural communities — and rightly so. They must remember that unless our local hospitals are kept secure and strong, our rural communities cannot be secure or strong either.
It will be seven years ago next month that McCain, suffering from terminal cancer, walked to the front of the Senate floor and dramatically signaled thumbs down to the bill that would have meant the death knell for the ACA.
It was a sad joke when the Supreme Court took up a case from conservatives who wanted to con people into thinking that a proven abortion medication with a decades-long safety record is dangerous.
For now, at least, one party in our two-party system remains fully captured by what was — at the time when “culture war” entered our lexicon — still an emerging trend. The rift has widened, and now threatens to swallow whatever is left of our common civic life.
She hasn’t announced a change of heart on most positions she had as a Democrat.
Why does Biden keep touting this thing when his efforts aren’t even appreciated by the people he’s trying to help?

The Dem group Opportunity Wisconsin is again hitting GOP U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil on the airwaves, this time with a spot that knocks him for voting to allow credit card companies to charge higher fees.

Wisconsin Dems slammed Donald Trump following a report he called Milwaukee — where he’s poised to formally receive the party’s nomination for the fall election — “a horrible city” during a meeting with House Republicans in Washington, D.C. House Republicans, meanwhile, gave varying explanations for Trump’s remark.
Oshkosh Chancellor Andrew Leavitt announced the university’s Fox Cities campus will close in June 2025 due to low enrollment — the sixth two-year campus in two years to either end in-person instruction or shut completely.
Washington County DA Mark Bensen tells WisPolitics he declined to file charges against state Rep. Janel Brandtjen for alleged campaign finance violations, sending the case back to the Ethics Commission.

With the urgency that climate change is forcing upon us, we must reinstate the Office of the Public Intervenor if we are going to save our beautiful and unique landscape.
There are serious ramifications for local economies, law enforcement and strains on agencies and resources that create a maelstrom of issues when immigrants come to the country without vetting.
Much less money for Wisconsin, more board members from outside state.
The Society of Professional Journalists issues a ‘call to action’ for other reporters to follow suit.
