Americans on November 5th will be called upon to voice their choice as to whether America should become a dictatorship or remain a democracy.
In this case, Trump will end up at the Supreme Court because both sides will appeal if they lose at the appeals court, where the majority of the Supreme Court is conservative with at least three justices having been appointed by Trump. And the other hope you should hold onto is that the Dems have over played their hand. Even many Dems and independents don’t like where this country is going.
Congress delegated the power but could it?
I’m urging Congress: Don’t use the Farm Bill to hurt farmers. Make sure to protect clean energy investments that help farmers protect their bottom line.
With approximately two-thirds of the counties in Wisconsin void of formal air monitoring it is critical to recognize that we don’t know what we aren’t monitoring, and just because we aren’t monitoring doesn’t mean we don’t have a problem.
More than 100,000 courageous Marines, soldiers, sailors, nurses and other military personnel who sacrificed their lives for freedom during World War I and World War II are laid to rest in sacred sites like Aisne-Marne. Overall, there are 25 overseas American military cemeteries, with 4,595 Wisconsinites commemorated.
“It is really important to get people riled up, energized, excited,” Harrison said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com. “I need Democrats to understand they cannot be silent. They can’t sit on their hands. They can’t say woe is me. It’s time to roll up your sleeves, get your vitamins from Costco, get ready to start knocking on doors, making phone calls and getting out the vote.”

Delegates at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s state convention backed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict despite opposition from leadership that it failed to mention the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
Dem party activists elected Tomika Vukovic, a member of the Glendale Common Council, and Arvina Martin, the executive director of Emerge Wisconsin, to the DNC. The delegates also reelected by acclimation Alex Lasry, a former Milwaukee Bucks exec who serves in the Biden administration, and Eau Claire Ald. Andrew Werthmann. They were the only two candidates who qualified for the race.
Five months out from the November election, there’s been a steady stream of polls showing minority voters are less enthusiastic about Biden than they were in 2020. And there has been particular attention paid to Black men. Some of those surveys have shown an openness about voting for Trump this fall.
Need an easy laugh at the Dem state convention while addressing party activists? Take a shot at Donald Trump’s legal troubles.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, delivering the keynote address to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s state convention, gave activists one charge for this fall: win.
DNC Chair Jaime Harrison today urged Democrats to vote in the 2024 election, describing the election as a struggle of hope against fear.
A half dozen pro-Palestinian protests were escorted out of the Dem state convention after they interrupted U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s speech.
Gov. Tony Evers ticked off accomplishments he attributed to Democrats, including increases in shared revenue funding for municipalities, affordable housing investments, repairing roads and keeping the Brewers in Milwaukee. Evers said Dems have faced “near-constant Republican obstruction.”
Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez says when Donald Trump says immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” he’s talking about her family.
Attorney General Josh Kaul in a speech to Dem Party activists today knocked Republicans for “attacking our voting rights and our freedom to vote.”
Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski urged Dem activists to send a message this fall: “don’t mess with our reproductive rights.”
U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, of Milwaukee, said Democrats shouldn’t criticize the younger generation for speaking out against the war in Gaza. Still, Moore said, “any vote that our coalition members casts for somebody other than Joe Biden is a vote for Donald Trump.”
