It is customary for a state’s U.S. senators to work together in recommending occupants of certain federal positions. Wisconsin, however, is graced with two senators who couldn’t agree on the time of day.
The 7th CD caucus, comprised of 20-plus county GOP parties, declined to endorse anyone for the open coongressional seat at a March 14 endorsement event.
I can tell you one thing: This is not how Judge Chris Taylor is going to earn my vote.
Courts are often the last resort for protecting our freedoms. That’s why it’s essential to vote on April 7 and to elect a proven champion for our rights as Supreme Court justice. That’s Judge Chris Taylor.
Spring election gives some conservative communities chance to finally get conservative leadership
Recent reporting by Dairyland Sentinel has raised deeply troubling questions about how Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is handling federal special education dollars. Particularly, scarce funds that are supposed to directly support students with disabilities, including children with Autism.
In the last two years, Americans have seen the first-, second-, and third-ever homicide prosecutions and convictions focused on the parents of school shooters.
It’s ebbed and flowed since the 1960s, as state politicians tried different solutions.
Do you want your tax dollars to help pay Luke Fickell’s salary? That’s essentially the question before the state Senate.
A revival of nuclear fission in Wisconsin may be under way. Policymakers in state government have opened that door, and one of the state’s largest electricity wholesalers recently took a step toward walking through.
I cannot stop this war. What I can do is refuse to be silent in my own community, to say clearly, from someone who wore this country’s uniform, that what is being done in our name deserves to be seen, and questioned, and grieved.
Wars deserve more than improvisation and insouciance. They deserve the full weight of presidential responsibility. And they deserve a public argument worthy of the cost.
Movements are not sustained by one towering figure. They are carried forward by ordinary people who, at some point, decide that the work must continue. The question is no longer just who will show up now. The question is whether the rest of us will.
Dr. Frederic Mohs developed a highly effective treatment for skin cancer while a medical student at the University of Wisconsin in the early 1930s.
Public health policy should be practical, implementable, and respectful of the people it affects. AB 180 raises legitimate questions on all three.
Residents want transparency, information and a meaningful voice before major infrastructure decisions reshape their communities and household budgets.
It’s time to revisit a mantra that has grown far beyond its constitutional foundation.
Removing barriers, whether they are financial, logistical or simply a lack of options, helps people take that first step. Screening does not have to be complicated to be effective, but it does have to be accessible.
Millions entered illegally during the Biden Administration. It only takes one to carry out a deadly attack. That’s why weakening our homeland security infrastructure right now is so irresponsible.
One of the main differences in this crisis and others in the past is that there are more alternatives to oil and gas than ever before. And those alternatives are more cost-effective and easier to develop. The crisis could have been avoided.
