While the Biden saga dominated recently, the Democratic bickering and blame-placing is getting old now six months into the second Trump presidency. Everyone has a prescription for Democrats, many directly conflicting with others.
Those efforts do not merely seek to erase the heritage of Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ community. They also dismiss the rich legacy of enlightened Republicans, like former Gov. Dreyfus, who stood on the right side of history.
Teaching people to be skeptical of a source is not an indoctrination tactic, it is an essence of democracy.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take up U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s demand for deeper cuts in the House version of the federal reconciliation bill. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
4th highest to 28th … The game has changed in terms of competition with other states. We are now in the middle of the pack on taxes. That means that citizens and their politicians can consider other dimensions of life in Wisconsin.
It didn’t take long after radical liberal judge Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a hard-left law firm to challenge the state’s congressional maps, something Crawford was rather obviously installed on the Court to do, but will the Court actually do it?

Amid a domestic manufacturing renaissance, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee leadership is pushing to eliminate its materials science department.
Last week the Trump administration identified four places in Wisconsin that they define as “sanctuary” communities: Milwaukee, Madison, Dane County and, who would have thunk it, Shawano County.
It’s one thing to round up and kick out gang members, killers, drug dealers and rapists. It’s another to sweep out people who are none of those things, who have become productive members of their communities. And parents of American citizens.
Despite public opposition, Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission approved We Energies’ proposal to build two new fossil fuel-burning power plants, in part to meet demand from data centers and AI.
Like Elon Musk, Wisconsin’s most influential Republican has broken with Donald Trump on that budget bill.
U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, along with the five other Wisconsin GOP representatives, has looked the other way while Trump issues unconstitutional orders one after the other.
While Milwaukee has the longest Juneteenth celebration in the nation, some cities that have previously celebrated Juneteenth have announced plans to either scale back or cancel their celebrations.
Losing your health coverage should not trigger the equivalent of a shrug emoji from someone elected to serve the public good.
Trump has gotten cruder along the way, if that’s possible, but he’s hardly alone.
Both Mao and Trump achieved something few modern leaders have, a personality cult so complete it displaced ideology itself.
