The ongoing redistricting mess should prompt systemic changes for next time.

But what does it all mean?

In his announcement speech in Madison Tuesday, it was not at all clear that his heart is in it.

In a move generally reserved for benign actions like naming post offices, Assembly Republicans passed their Right of First Refusal bill on a voice vote—giving each of them plausible deniability when confronted by an angry constituency.

I don’t always agree with Sen. Johnson, but he’s right to call for the closure of the southern border with Mexico.

Decoupling provides more state aid to 404 of the 421 public school districts and provides significant property tax relief to Wisconsin taxpayers outside Milwaukee. Why make them wait?

Sadly but not surprisingly, a GOP constitutional amendment against discrimination is more talk than substance.

The key play is to make the race about Trump’s utter contempt for the core values of the American experiment.

The narrative that Joe Biden is too old for a second term has clearly set in and is reflected very broadly in public surveys.

RIP to the gerrymander.

Gov. Tony Evers proves pragmatic governing best serves Wisconsin.

The decision by the four liberal Justices to discard the previously approved maps is a threat to democracy and irrevocably harms the citizens of this great state.

Why are Evers and his fellow travelers refusing to let Wisconsinites keep their money to afford the exploding cost of living despite government being fully funded? Simple. They do not think it is your money.

The major factor in Gallagher’s decision was surely deep discomfort with the leadership of the Republican Party that has become lapdog for former President Trump, one of the biggest losers in American history.

What does it tell you that not even a recent chairman of the Wisconsin Republican party won’t vote Trump and is willing to go public about it?

Hovde tells Wisconsin Right Now that he wakes up in disbelief and heartbroken at what’s happening to his country. In summary, he is deeply concerned about the state of the U.S., the economy, the lack of unity, the messed up foreign policy, and the leftist agenda being pushed these days.

GOP’s actions at federal and state levels continue to alienate electorate.

Inmates can still be shackled while giving birth in Wisconsin prisons.

Utilities say right of first refusal saves money but can’t prove it.

Expecting a raise? Temper your hopes, says new survey.
