Wisconsin decided 112 years ago that the state had an obligation to right their wrongs when the justice system fails its citizens. We cannot give back the centuries taken from exonerees, but we can take a step to make things right.
Mandela Barnes carries forward the legacy of the modern Democratic Party of Nelson, Phillips and so many other progressive champions of economic, social and racial justice — a fact that Tiffany would do well to recognize, and respect.
As math proficiency continues to decline in Wisconsin schools, the Legislature is considering a plan to improve numeracy, or the ability to work with numbers in daily life.

It’s long past time for Trump and congressional Republicans to extend the ACA tax credits.
Instead of governing with civility and respect, Donald Trump has once again chosen a path of division and disdain.

Mass transportation alternatives offer several good things, from having fewer cars on the road to reduced demand for fossil fuels. But it can’t be forced.
Money wasted on Hop while bus access for people who really need it is at risk.
Can’t have affordability without abundance unless you’re a socialist and repeal the law of supply and demand.
Leading the list is the House speaker emerita, who crossed swords with Trump and bloodied him every time.
The most meaningful thing we can tell young men today isn’t what they shouldn’t be.
