Several lawsuits before various federal courts are challenging the very heart of the federal regulatory scheme known as the National Environmental Protection Act, or NEPA.
For me, the best evidence of his broadcasting ability was during those long spells between plays when he could fill the airwaves with his ad-libbing. It was then he highlighted his delightful sense of humor. It was in those stretches between plays, or between the wind-ups of pitches that Uecker would join in with his color commentator in the booth, Pat Hughes, and they would become a comedy duo.
Two of the three candidates showing an interest in the next gubernatorial race live and work here; a third potential candidate is from upstate; a fourth potential candidate who has not expressed interest publicly is also considering jumping into the contest for the election 22 months from now. The race will get into full swing in mid-2025.
State superintendent wields power to reveal information useful in improvement.
Last legislative session more than 750 registered to influence spending and policy.
Our transportation system’s needs are as dynamic as the economy and communities it supports. However, adequate and equitable funding is a perennial issue.
The Supreme Court should uphold the law I wrote, which requires only finding a new owner.
If every platform available to communicate is run according to the desires of the president, how is that different from dictatorships we collectively criticize?
President Biden’s commutations are a symptom of a broader problem: a dangerous ideology that has pervaded our justice system, one that prioritizes the feelings of criminals over justice for victims.

If we can’t remember what it’s like to have a functional society, it’s easy to become cynical and give up on the idea of a healthy public sphere. Now, as we enter the era of Trump 2.0, it’s important to remember what we had, what we lost, and what we need to fight like hell to hang on to.
Never in my 84 years on this planet did I ever believe that a person with the morals and character of Donald Trump would ever be elected president of my country, much less for a second time.
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.

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.
