He was 85, but the news business was just as alive in him as it was back in college at Michigan State more than 60 years ago.
GOP lawmakers are arguing overturning a 2022 state Supreme Court ruling barring the use of absentee ballot drop boxes would make a “mockery” of the principle calling for justices to follow past precedent. But the state Elections Commission, represented by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, argued that while the doctrine of stare decisis is “fundamental to the rule of law,” adding the 2022 court decision was unsound and should be overturned.
Dem state Rep. Daniel Riemer, of Milwaukee, announced he won’t seek reelection, writing in a letter to his constituents that he wrestled with the decision but decided it was what was best for him and those he represents.
Donald Trump will be in Waukesha on Wednesday for his second trip to the state in the past month.
Women and girls don’t need protection from fellow women and girls who just want to play sports and experience the various benefits that come with it. Women and girls and non-binary people need equal access, equal funding, robust protections against sexual assault and harassment, and the dignity of being taken just as seriously as men in sports.
Unions scoring notable victories, not in manufacturing but in the service industry.
Despite all these protests, Congress passed military aid to Israel (as well as humanitarian aid for Gaza) on overwhelming votes. So, not only do the protests appear to be ineffectual, I think there’s a fair chance that they’re pushing the American public the other way.
It is very likely that every single voter who chooses Trump will also pick Hovde and whoever votes for Biden will pick Baldwin. In other words, if Trump wins the state, so does Hovde. Baldwin brings no residual strength at all.
State Dem Party Chair Ben Wikler today blasted GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde for a lawsuit alleging elder abuse, negligence and wrongful death at a nursing home his bank partly owns.
GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde’s brother gave $1 million in February to a PAC that began running digital ads five weeks later praising the Madison businessman and knocking U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison.
The WEDC Board of Directors has approved up to $15.5 million in performance-based tax credits for Kikkoman Foods’ planned $800 million expansion, Gov. Tony Evers announced. That total project dollar figure covers expanding the Japanese company’s existing soy sauce brewing
Evers is wrong, just like Walker was wrong several years ago. By misusing the extensive veto authority granted to Wisconsin governors, chief executives are making the argument for rolling back the powers.
Gov. Tony Evers turned constitutional limitations against taxation without representation on their head when he unilaterally increased property taxes on Wisconsinites for the next 400 years.
Democrats will have you believe House Republicans are running a sham impeachment inquiry — but that could not be further from the truth. House Republicans are following the facts and we will let the truth speak for itself. If that worries the president, then you need to ask yourself “why?”
As a young woman in university studying politics, I am inspired by women who hold political office, but it becomes obvious that female candidates must prove themselves to a further extent than male candidates.
Finally, a few correct court decisions. It’s about time.
There was a time when we Americans were pretty sure democracy was invented here and saw it as our duty to share our creation with the rest of the world. Today, we treat democracy the way we treat immigrants. With suspicion. As an intruder. An imposition.
Trump may be guilty, but not of this.
We did not need more proof that Donald Trump tells lies, that Fox News is a national joke, or that the base of the Republican Party eats up right-wing media and is deeply and sickly involved in a partisan cult. Yet, this week we are being treated to more examples of why all three statements are fact-based.
Since the beginning of the Governor Walker era, Wisconsin Republicans have prioritized cutting taxes, fiscal responsibility, and growing our economy. Since 2011, over $31 billion in tax cuts have been returned to Wisconsinites.
