Three weeks ago in this space we urged Democrats to do the responsible thing, be the adults in the room, and vote to end the government shutdown. Now, thanks to the sensible moderate Democrats in the Senate, that’s exactly what’s happening. Moreover, it’ll pay off politically for their party.
Steil is behind legislation intended to take away elected representatives’ paychecks when the federal government is shut down.
Even if Trump’s new testing is something less than he suggested, nonproliferation advocates worry that even the scientific objectives suggested by Energy Secretary Chris Wright would create a backlash that would open the door for other major nuclear powers to begin their own widespread testing.
Community solar is an option like none we have experienced before; it is decentralized, flexible, and ready to power Wisconsin’s future.
Health care management is complex. But smart politicians should, on behalf of citizens, be able to cut through the complexity toward solutions that work.
The Wisconsin legislature has introduced a bill to prohibit “foreign adversaries” from owning or acquiring land in Wisconsin. Richard Moore gives the low-down and compares it to similar efforts being made in other states, and at the federal level.
UW Law School on Friday will be holding a one-day conference on reviving fusion voting in Wisconsin.
The process was once common, according to Project Democracy, and two states — New York and Connecticut — allow some version of it.
Fusion voting gave New York City voters a chance to reject Trump’s outrageous attacks on Mamdani, while at the same time putting an increasingly marginalized GOP in its place.
Until now, special education has been one of the few areas where politics didn’t divide us.
The cruelty, the waste, the lack of any coherent plan by this administration is becoming clearer and clearer.
It is a cautionary tale of what can happen to an organization and to a society that goes Woke. Not content with being green, the Sierra Club embraced “social justice” and proceeded to devour itself in backbiting, blame-gaming, and inquisitions.
The ship went down in Lake Superior 50 years ago.
We will not rubber-stamp another vague, headline-driven initiative that risks public safety and wastes taxpayer money.
Yet another Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling slaps down legislative overreach.
Students want ROI and jobs.
It is not hyperbole to claim that without what is now known as the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Baraboo Sauk County, or Boo U, I never would have graduated from college and had a career in newspapers and public relations.
We believe every college can learn something important from top community colleges: how to stay laser-focused on post-graduation success.
On Election Day Democratic candidates won big everywhere.
The end of Obamacare’s temporary subsidies accounts for only 3-4% of projected premium increases.
