“Another lane will fix it” still reigns at WisDOT, but the public is pushing back.

Next time, pick a villain who is unlikeable.

One of the biggest political stories of 2025 has been the push for mid-decade gerrymandering of state’s congressional maps.

For us in the building trades, data centers aren’t some big, scary mystery. They’re high-skill, long-term work. The kind of work that feeds families, pays mortgages, and sends kids to college.

“A bunch of old hippies.” That was the derisive term used by some to describe 2025’s massive protests of Trump administration policies.

That so many inexcusable things have happened since Trump was re-elected does not somehow make his heartlessness any less vomitous. Dancing on someone’s grave isn’t cute.
