The need for worker education and protections
Here in Wisconsin, it is practically impossible to make a living educating young children while charging rates parents can afford to pay.
Sadly, in too many cases, society overlooks mental health care, leaving many people vulnerable to afflictions such as addiction, depression, anxiety and many other diseases. This stigmatization has leached into our politics.
Thirty years of problems beg fundamental change or permanent closure.
Microsoft, probably the most successful American corporation both by reputation and revenues, announced plans to invest $3.3 billion to build an AI data center by the end of 2026 on the campus that had been created for Foxconn.
The KC-46A Pegasus is a state-of-the-art air refueling tanker that could be housed in Milwaukee.
The way this city and region approaches transportation is unquestionably going in a different direction. Whether the full scope of change will be realized is another question. A squishy middle-ground is always more likely than a bold decision.
After 23 years on the Madison police force, Mike Hanson is retiring as captain of the downtown district.
Petryk is the 21st member of the Assembly to decide to retire or seek another office. That includes eight Republicans.
“I would love to debate Sen. Baldwin. Could you please try to arrange one?” Hovde said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “I’ll do it right here. I’ll do it anyplace, anywhere. I have many groups that have tried to reach out to organize a debate with Sen. Baldwin, and she doesn’t respond. So I would love to debate Sen. Baldwin because I think that’s what the people of the state should hear, what our positions are.”
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, pleaded with GOP activists to put aside their differences on issues such as abortion and unify to deliver Wisconsin for Trump this fall at the state GOP convention in Appleton over the weekend.
Party activists at the state GOP convention today elected Waukesha County GOP Chair Terry Dittrich and Pam Travis, one of the Republicans who submitted a false slate of electors for Trump in 2020, to fill two of Wisconsin’s three slots on the Republican National Committee.
Madison businessman Eric Hovde today accused Dem U.S. Sen Tammy Baldwin of engaging in the politics of personal destruction since he got into the race to distract from what he said was a record of “utter failure.”
U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla. and a frequent surrogate for Donald Trump, told party activists they have a simple job in 2024—”to defeat the crazy, radical, Marxist left that has destroyed the Democrat Party.”
Wisconsin GOP activists today approved resolutions calling for the impeachment of the state’s top elections official, declaring abortion “murder of an unborn child” and calling for the elimination of the state’s income tax.
Wisconsin’s GOP House members at today’s state GOP convention blasted Biden administration policies while urging Republicans to turn out in November, arguing Americans were much better off under Donald Trump.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, and Joint Finance Committee Co-chair Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam, also warned GOP activists they need to protect Republican majorities in the Assembly and Senate to prevent the state from looking like Minnesota, Michigan or even California.
Conservative state Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, at the GOP state convention this weekend to court the party’s grassroots, told WisPolitics he’s already raised more than $500,000 for his 2025 bid.
Johnson made a pitch to Republicans at the state convention that regardless of their personal feelings on abortion, the party must embrace allowing states to set reasonable limits on how late into a pregnancy an abortion may be performed because that’s where most voters are.
“I have spoken nationally, in the state, and local levels about the need for Republicans to be realistic. And if the state law that affects this election says we’ll have drop boxes or we end up with ballot harvesting, we’re going to do what it takes to win,” Schimming said.
