The 2024 election was tumultuous and left a heavy residue of anxiety for some. If you’re feeling anxiousness, this is how you can persevere.

Horrendous racial discrimination and anti-Black rhetoric which drove a political movement is alive and well all these years later. America has not cleansed itself of racism.

Voters supported specific policies to advance their economic rights.

When conditions arise that are not for the faint of heart, those who are truly strong know it can’t be every man for himself. They don’t point fingers; they look in the mirror. Then they look to see who’s behind them, lifting those who’ve fallen. They pull the door open, saying it loud and clear. After you.

A box blind with new stairs and amenities adds to the excitement.

Wisconsin was the most competitive state in America. Which issues mattered?

There is also no reason that Florida’s highly successful model cannot be adopted by other states, including Wisconsin. A good first step would be for the incoming Wisconsin Senate to pass an Assembly bill that would allow the state’s clerks to process absentee votes the day before Election Day.

The old soap says hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Should the worst become reality, the people who empowered Trump will own it. And we will see where these enablers line up.

It’s time to elevate Wisconsin to the same standard as nearly half the country, implementing policies that increase access to vital supplemental screenings for those with dense breast tissue and other high-risk factors.

It could become bipartisan legislation. Or an attack issue for Democrats.

Money is the driving force behind government decision-making.

Let’s get new Fed leadership immediately and a new approach rather than waiting a year.

Saying things are better than you think proved to be a losing message. The loss can either be written off as a nightmare or treated as a teaching tool. If it’s the latter, Democrats will zero in on answering one question over all others: How can a pathway to the middle class be created for every single American?

Approaching elections with an open mind and taking the time to gather comprehensive information is crucial.

Expect progressives to launch a major assault on an “imperial” presidency when Trump takes office, the goal being to neuter the presidency and cement the power of the unelected administrative state as the true realization of democracy. The thinking traces back to Herbert Marcuse, the Guru of the 1960s New Left.

Expanding BadgerCare would close our health care affordability gap, allowing 90,000+ Wisconsin residents with lower incomes and their families to gain access to comprehensive and affordable health care coverage.

The FDA has approved several overdose reversal innovations over the last several years; however, access to these reversal agents is not currently permitted by the state’s 2023 standing orders, which allow nurses and physicians to provide communities products like naloxone without a prescription or patient order.

It barely got mentioned during the just-ended presidential campaign, but the world is embarked on yet another nuclear race, and the United States is leading it.

Of the 16 school districts in Dane County only one performs worse than Madison.

What an investigation into the alder’s behavior means, and what it doesn’t.
