Why is Hong defying the odds?

Future ACA and Medicaid cuts and policy changes will by 2034 result in 17 million, including 276,000 Wisconsinites, losing health coverage.

The courses have been the subject of scrutiny for pushing left-leaning talking points.

Dual enrollment allows high school students to earn college credit while completing their diplomas, giving them earlier exposure to postsecondary education and clearer pathways to careers.

Instead of fighting over divisive definitions, I propose a bipartisan task force to develop a government approach to fighting hatred, including antisemitism.

Rather than take the opportunity to preempt the illegal delegation and assumption of core powers, the Court decided to pay lip service to Congress’s taxing power, but it then resolved to permit delegation of the taxing power anyway under different statutes. But those statutes are illegal too.

We must refuse to treat dissent as treason and diversity as a threat. We must refuse to go along with a leader who normalizes hate and exclusion.

Creating, improving and expanding those vibrant parts of the community for future Madison and Dane County generations was what drove this tireless champion of the outdoors and the need to protect the environment we’ve been given.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at upcoming Wisconsin elections and the impact of President Donald Trump’s endorsement of candidates. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center for Public Leadership.

The visit, aimed at shoring up vulnerable Republican U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden ahead of the 2026 midterms, was part of a post-State of the Union victory lap Vance is taking to market the so-called Golden Age of prosperity Trump claims he and the Republicans have delivered to rural and blue-collar voters.

Led by Urban League of Greater Madison president and CEO Ruben Anthony, the sleek and modern Black Business Hub on South Park Street is bubbling with business activity.

Canadian universities have a remedy

Allocating funds to the school levy tax credit does nothing to help schools. The school levy tax credit amount has already been raised substantially. Let’s help Wisconsin taxpayers first.

When an agency partitions only minimal resources toward investigating sexual misconduct, allows educators to forfeit their licenses rather than face full review, and fails to publicly disclose the reasons behind revocations, it creates blind spots that predators can exploit.

Some states roll out the red carpet for families and businesses. Other states roll out red tape. Wisconsin has to decide which state it wants to be.

Vice President Vance’s visit comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, which made clear that America is back on track after years of economic hardship. And nowhere is that comeback more evident than right here in Wisconsin.

While Trump was just more of the same — I can’t be disappointed in a man I have no respect for to begin with — the Democrats did not do themselves proud either.

Public education promises more than academic credentials; it promises citizenship and democracy. And that is a promise we can’t afford to break.

Robin Vos’ towering speakership has lots of highs but some aggravating lows.
