In my first handicapping of state legislature control of the 2024 cycle, I find 12 chambers that are competitive—either Leans Republican, Toss-up, or Leans Democratic. Compared to recent election cycles, that’s a medium number of competitive chambers.
Democrats should run Chuck Schumer. He’s kind of like what Biden was four years ago. A seemingly non-radical veteran of the national scene.
On the use of the Web; Paul Ryan and the GOP; a historian’s life; an old joke; and more
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed legislation that deletes reference to climate change in state laws.
Shortly after we posted the story, a representative from the Election Integrity Network sent us an email demanding an immediate retraction. The group did not challenge any of the facts in the story. But it objected to the reporter joining the call, noting that “no media are ever allowed on our calls” and that their calls are “off the record” and “no notes or comments are to be uploaded in any public space.”
From WisPolitics … — The Racine Recall Committee is set to hold a press conference in Madison this afternoon about “troubling findings” regarding Assembly Speaker Robin Vos’ response challenging the effort. Recall organizers have argued the Rochester Republican’s challenge to
Donald Trump in Racine charged “radical left lunatics” are lying about reports he called Milwaukee “horrible,” saying he loves the city and chose it himself to host the upcoming Republican National Convention.
The Biden-Harris campaign launched a new TV ad calling Donald Trump a “convicted criminal who’s only out for himself” as part of a $50 million ad campaign in battleground states, including Wisconsin.
Wisconsin’s long-term care system isn’t keeping up with the changing needs of the state’s aging population, according to a Board on Aging & Long Term Care member. Kim Marheine, the board’s state long term care ombudsman, says the organization has
Evers and GOP legislators disagree. Issues could figure in fall elections.
What the new governance structure looks like is for the community to consider. What’s imperative is that we do not keep governing MPS the same way, expecting a different outcome.
No response to the regrettable MPS debacle will be adequate if it does not include expanded educational choice for all families. Every child deserves an exit pass.
Trump’s trash talking of Milwaukee upended GOP plans to use the city as a backdrop for their fall campaign launch in Wisconsin. His efforts to explain himself only worsened things, as did GOP members of the state’s congressional delegation who tried to cover for him.
Stop messing with our constitution already. Vote no in August and November on all the constitutional amendments on your ballot.
Politically, the leftists control the court. One might instinctively think that they will rule in favor of Evers to support “their guy.” However, handing that kind of power to the governor in perpetuity is fraught with risk for the liberals.
The FDA recently proposed a rule that could limit access to prescription information, the printed information attached to prescriptions at the pharmacy. The rule would place the burden of printing Patient Medication Information onto pharmacies, adding additional workload hours and costs for pharmacies.
Launched in 2004 by the Wisconsin Technology Council with help from sponsors such as what is today the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., finalists in the 2024 contest ranged from potentially life-saving devices and apps to agricultural equipment to a software-based creative writing program for children to innovations in the food and beverage world.
The Midwest doesn’t have enough talent or risk capital in the right places to commercialize all its great ideas.
We live in an age when technology will continue to advance, providing children (and adults) with many more options for entertainment, and that will always compete with reading.
The guv announced potential auditors will have until next Monday to respond to a request for services to conduct an operational audit of Milwaukee Public Schools, which will be done under an existing state contract with entities that have experience with educational audits. The guv also announced a list of nine eligible vendors.
