Trump and King would have also disagreed on several of the president’s pardons, including the release of 1,500 people charged for taking part in the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump will see to it that the fact checkers will always have a job while he’s in office.
Milwaukee’s CBS 58 and Weigel Broadcasting fired the weather forecaster after conservative talk show host Dan O’Donnell exposed Instagram posts that she made unfairly criticizing Elon Musk for supposedly making a “Nazi” salute.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, analyze the race for state schools superintendent between incumbent Jill Underly, Sauk Prairie Superintendent Jeff Wright and Wauwatosa education consultant Brittany Kinser. The three are to face off in a Feb. 18 primary, with the general election set for April 1. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Wisconsin voters will on the same day this April choose a new state Supreme Court justice and also decide whether the state’s voter ID law will become part of the state Constitution — issues yoked by what almost certainly will happen in the months thereafter.
Evers today seems bothered by Underly’s latest attempt at covering up failures to make the educational bureaucracy look better. If he is sincere in his stated opposition to these changes, then he will sign a Republican bill undoing them.
Trump’s chief enabler is excited to rewrite the tax code.
There were those who felt insulted that the presidential inauguration was on the same day we celebrated King’s birthday. I viewed it as a clear reminder of a King quote: “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Let us be determined not to fear in the next four years and not to hate those responsible for the next four years.

President-elect Donald Trump has called tariffs “the most beautiful word in the dictionary,” even if many economists and some business leaders find it more akin to a vulgar term to be avoided in polite company.
Conservatives love their culture wars, and this year’s congressional session will have as their target transgender people who want to have access to health care, serve openly in the military, and participate in school activities.
With Baldwin’s support, a plan to create a monument to women on the National Mall was recently approved and signed into law by Joe Biden just before he left office.
We need to pay more attention to Wisconsin’s most insidious drug problem.
Hegseth’s appointment raises serious concerns about our military’s future and our society’s very functioning. The nominee’s personal beliefs about women serving in combat duty and sentiments about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion threaten to fan the flames of fragile relationships in the ranks of the U.S. military services.
Not 12 hours after promising a new “Golden Age,” the reinstated President unconditionally pardoned fifteen hundred cop beaters, vandals, and seditious conspiracists attempting to subvert the Constitution on January 6, 2021.
Homelessness is a public health crisis and leaders must implement a comprehensive strategy that addresses the root causes to improve community health.
It’s time to rethink how we deliver education to ensure that every student has equitable access to success.
While sandhill cranes may consume a small amount of freshly planted crop seeds, the issue is being exaggerated to promote a widespread cull.
After an arbitrary deadline for approval of the amendment passed in 1979, and after an extension of the deadline passed in 1982, decades went by before states began to revisit the issue.
The post-mortem since the Nov. 5 election of Donald Trump revealed that Dems need to pay much more attention to economic messaging.
