Republicans are screaming about “waste, fraud and abuse” to try to distract voters from all of this destruction and graft. But their “fraud” talk just reminds people of the stunning theft of public resources they’ve enabled and are now trying to cover up with flimsy, slanderous lies.
The White House is always the last place Vance looks.
Data centers in space, transgender goats, dishonesty, and a touching hostage story
Those who had the good fortune to work alongside Farrow knew him as an affable, approachable leader who brought a genuine warmth to every encounter, whether he was at the State Capitol, the county courthouse, or out in the community. He carried a deep pride in Wisconsin and in Waukesha County, and he never missed a chance to credit others for the work they did.
Wisconsin’s utility system still rests on a framework shaped by the 1907 Public Utilities Law that granted utility corporations monopoly status. Today, this system allows top executives at utilities to take home massive salaries, while families struggle under high energy burdens.
Voting for legislators who support farmers helps to strengthen agriculture and build a strong and resilient food system so that everyone can access quality food at affordable prices. When agriculture wins, everyone wins.
As a teacher, I saw firsthand what happens when young people become disconnected, but I also saw the profound transformation that occurs when they find belonging and purpose.
In the Restorative Justice program, a small group of selected prisoners go through an 11-week program learning about themselves, about the impact of crimes on victims, about how the justice system works (or doesn’t work), and about what life can be like on the outside.
The problem with the American Creed is that it’s different for everyone. Both the Left and the Right can rightfully claim that the American Promise can only be kept by implementing their respective political programs. But the Declaration was never meant to establish a Creed. So how should Americans understand it
Parents in Madison have a built-in history lesson every time they take the kids out for a bike ride.
The issue was not whether federal property should be protected. It should be. The issue was why Trump showed mercy toward people connected to one of the most serious attacks on American democratic institutions in modern history, while he treated alleged interference with a failed pool liner as a public criminal threat worthy of escalation.
Anti-tech sentiment ignoring staggering job and revenue projections
Wisconsin is a state that fixes things. It’s time our federal laws reflected that.
The Act updates the state’s technical education grant program, allowing school districts to use grant funding for the construction, renovation, or improvement of training facilities, the purchase of industry-standard tools and equipment, and the acquisition of software and instructional materials needed to prepare students for careers in these high-demand fields.
Will all the coverage help or hurt Democratic governor candidate? And beware a new poll.
I will not let the current challenges to our country posed by the president and his followers deter me from my belief that greatness is still ahead for our country.
Despite the challenges our nation faces today, the American Dream remains real for those willing to pursue it. But it is not automatic. It belongs to those who are willing to prepare for it, work for it, and build it.
I encourage my fellow Christians in calling your representative to support more refugee resettlement this year and a higher number for fiscal year 2027.
Egged on by a cabal of right-wing sycophants and enablers, including the Heritage Foundation, he has accused the museum’s leadership of being “woke,” of degrading American accomplishments, of focusing on the negative instead of the positive. In other words, it wasn’t telling the MAGA version of U.S. history.
Partisanship is particularly ugly when people have suffered loss.
