Getting around the Republican National Convention and its security perimeter can be challenging. Entrances are not always exits. Vehicle checkpoints can be different from pedestrian checkpoints. Some points are far busier than others. Navigating all of this on foot can make for some longer-than-expected detours.
It’s election season, and in addition to being out campaigning for my own reelection to the Wisconsin State Assembly, I am out educating voters to say “YES” to their own best interests on the August 13th primary ballot.
In the United States, the opioid epidemic has had a profound impact on many communities, including veterans. Veterans often face unique challenges such as chronic pain, mental health issues like PTSD, and the many stresses involved in transitioning back to “ordinary” life as a civilian.

I’m not the only one scrambling to figure out how Saturday changed the tone for this week. The Daily Show picked up and shipped back to New York City, canceling all of their live tapings in Milwaukee and canceled their Monday night show entirely. I’ve spoken to other journalists and media folks who said they have scrapped some of their stories and plans as well.
So, now with Biden’s age issues on the back burner, all eyes are on Trump and the Republicans and how they react to the events in Pennsylvania. Is this the thing that brings us back to our senses or will it be just another event used to excite the base?
Wisconsin Democrats have long tried to dehumanize and vilify Donald Trump. Now that their rhetoric has led to actual consequences, they’re attempting to distance themselves from it. All Wisconsinites should make them own it.

Seeing these improvements take shape has given me a sense of pride, but also a time to reflect on the people around the world who don’t have the same access to these resources as I do.
In our nation, there have always been those on the left and right who will say the most absurd or deranged statements. One can find those examples with ease from the daily newspaper or online. But those are far different from the sustained and repetitive lies about ‘stolen elections’ or how Brown people are “vermin” who are “poisoning the blood of our country,” which falls on the ears of the easily led and the ignorant part of the nation who then feel a license to say and do things are that dangerous to the whole of society.
