Willfully creating or accepting measures that have proven to marginalize and endanger kids should be ousted as fast as an old apple core. It really should not be so hard to be nice to our nation’s kids.
Kamala Harris didn’t get a bump out of her debate last week, where it was widely believed, even among Republicans, that she bested Donald Trump. But other indicators look good for the Democrat.
Refusal to pay for elections commission staff will help fan the flames of conspiracy theories.
This allows unaccountable radicals to actually run everything.
To now assert that if the public speaks with urgency and determination to not have our democracy trashed means there is a call for violence underscores how desperate and absurd the Trump campaign has become.
Justice Rebecca Bradley represents the gold standard in a long and important American judicial tradition.
Due to a federal court decision, Enbridge needs to relocate a 12-mile section of the pipeline off the Bad River Band’s Reservation near Ashland.
As the Wisconsin Coalition of Virtual School Families prepares to enter our third decade of advocacy, we are not resting on our laurels.

The cure for the ills of democracy in Wisconsin and nationally is voting. When we vote we help to cure the sickness of citizen disengagement that afflicts us as well as the despair, pessimism and cynicism that accompanies that sickness. When we vote we become a healthier and more empowered citizenry.
When conservatives govern as conservatives, they win. Why? Because conservative policies work, and people vote for policies that work.
he 1994 Crime Bill had very little impact on crime. In the U.S., as in Wisconsin, there is almost no relationship between crime levels and prison population levels. The Crime Bill did, however, devastate many communities, especially low-income communities and communities of color.
