Racism, bigotry, and misogyny are surging back with the support of our elected officials, our most powerful court and financially backed by our billionaire oligarchs.

MLK never gave up or lost hope. We must honor MLK even in this dark moment.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, preview President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural address and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ State of the State speech. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership…. Please log in

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer their memories of recently passed former Sens. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, and George Petak, R-Racine. Sponsored by the Wisconsin counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

In my half-hour interview, we discussed the challenge of the new Trump administration, Evers’ hope for more bipartisan collaboration now that there are more Democrats in the Legislature, his role as a bulwark against GOP extremism — he describes himself as the “vetoer-in-chief” — and when and how he will decide whether to seek a third term in 2026.

A letter to our newly elected leaders, both in Madison and Washington, D.C.

Now voters will have their say on an issue that Pew Research polling reveals 81 percent of Americans—but zero percent of Wisconsin Democrats—support.

Day one of the Trump administration will be exciting with bold executive actions on border security, public safety, workforce rules, and even women’s protection in sports.

I recently decided to throw my hat in the ring as a candidate for Jefferson County Judge, Branch 2 because I believe my values and experience are a better alternative than the other candidates running for this position.

Radicals don’t want to do their jobs. These are the consequences.

Wisconsin voters should have an option to override politicians.

A simple majority could radically change Wisconsin’s government.

Use Wisconsin’s surplus to pay off debt.

If the Wisconsin Department of Justice and these agencies and programs within DOJ are delivering results, why create a duplicative Office of Violence Prevention?

Gov. Tony Evers’ announcement of a new Wisconsin Office of Violence Prevention and his $10 million funding plan is just another example of government overreach that won’t solve the real problem. Creating another state office to tackle violence will only add more bureaucracy and waste taxpayer dollars.

It’s time to confront the never-ending use of taunts hurled at progressives and demand that right-wingers discuss the real issues involved.

Last Tuesday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg admitted Facebook “came under pressure from the Biden administration to censor certain content related to COVID-19,” and limited information about the “Hunter Biden laptop,” among other ways they had done “too much censorship.” Free speech won the day, and needs to have more victories.

An indictment of Attorney General Josh Kaul’s job performance.

Young people need love, respect, our prayers and more mental health support, while our country needs more gun control. We all need a 2025 with no shootings at schools.

Education is too important to have governors and legislators play side roles.
