The falling of two dominoes has left Republicans in Wisconsin, for the first time since the Scott Walker era, with a chance to unite for a year behind a candidate for governor and avoid the intraparty bloodbaths that have been suicidal.
Gov. Tony Evers, the DNR and GOP lawmakers recently signaled a deal may be within reach to release around $132 million set aside to address PFAS contamination.
A bipartisan path forward is achievable and straightforward.
Every human being deserves to eat. That shouldn’t be a controversial statement, and it certainly isn’t a political one.
A free society cannot accept a system where government agents can exercise immense authority while shielded from public recognition.
They already have too much power.
Trump’s threats of a federal takeover would be both legally and practically hard to pull off in Wisconsin.

With the city spending millions on traffic-calming measures, changing the policy now seems like a step in the wrong direction.
An interesting study from The Brookings Institute – “Mapping the AI economy: Which regions are ready for the next technology leap?” – suggests that Wisconsin may have missed the bus when it comes to being a leader in AI technology.
In recent court filings, attorneys for the former Madison city clerk advanced a troubling argument: that absentee voting is a privilege, not a right.
Opponents now attacking David Crowley for his handling of the situation.
The phony Republican stewardship bill will not only drastically cut funding for stewardship but essentially prohibit those funds from being used for purchasing or protecting vital conservation lands, the very core purpose of the Stewardship Fund.

After a couple of false starts, Senate Democrats seem to have figured out how to work a potential government shutdown. House Dems should go along.
Melania is nothing like the media have portrayed, so it’s not surprising that her movie is nothing like the critics say.
A couple of Sundays ago, the New York Times’ editorial board reported that a Times analysis shows that Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.
When prior authorizations are transparent and medically grounded, everyone benefits. Patients receive treatment without harmful delays, health plans maintain oversight, and physicians can focus on what we were trained to do: care for people.
Are absentee ballots a right? Can voters sue for monetary damages if there’s a mistake?
