From palpable down-ballot energy to pro-Palestine protests to a memorable Tony Evers speech to the Milwaukee of it all, here’s what happened on June 8 and 9 at Potawatomi Casino Hotel.
At the Democratic Party of Wisconsin convention in Milwaukee over the weekend, state delegates endorsed a call for ceasefire.
Diversifying our present workforce and elevating and recognizing the contribution of families and staff with lived experience in both prevention services and the child welfare system is essential for change moving forward.
There’s been a flurry of ideas on how to propel Milwaukee Public Schools forward, but I keep coming back to the persistent failure to listen to students and parents.
Text messages show that Johnson and his staff were told explicitly about the plot to deliver the fake electoral votes to Washington.
My party has a bad candidate, an even more unpopular vice presidential candidate and a questionable strategy to overcome their handicaps. Thus my decision to start preparing now for Trump 2.
That same gun madness that has been absurdly growing in the United States and embraced by a selfish segment of the citizenry with no regard for anything other than a twisted interpretation of the Second Amendment, has also reached other nations with costly outcomes.
The announcement last week that the Waupun Correctional Institution’s warden and eight of its staff members had been charged with gross misconduct, following an investigation into deaths at the facility, is the latest indication that the state’s prison system is in absolute crisis.
Milwaukee Public Schools must immediately halt all spending authorized by the narrowly passed $252 million referendum because taxpayers weren’t told the truth about MPS’s finances before the April election.
Baraboo Superintendent Rainey Briggs shoved at high school graduation ceremony by father of student on stage getting ready to shake his hand.

In this case, Trump will end up at the Supreme Court because both sides will appeal if they lose at the appeals court, where the majority of the Supreme Court is conservative with at least three justices having been appointed by Trump. And the other hope you should hold onto is that the Dems have over played their hand. Even many Dems and independents don’t like where this country is going.
Congress delegated the power but could it?
I’m urging Congress: Don’t use the Farm Bill to hurt farmers. Make sure to protect clean energy investments that help farmers protect their bottom line.
With approximately two-thirds of the counties in Wisconsin void of formal air monitoring it is critical to recognize that we don’t know what we aren’t monitoring, and just because we aren’t monitoring doesn’t mean we don’t have a problem.
More than 100,000 courageous Marines, soldiers, sailors, nurses and other military personnel who sacrificed their lives for freedom during World War I and World War II are laid to rest in sacred sites like Aisne-Marne. Overall, there are 25 overseas American military cemeteries, with 4,595 Wisconsinites commemorated.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, set the stage for the 2024 fall legislative elections with candidate filings completed this past week. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
A year into the new liberal majority, the pace of cases being heard by the Wisconsin Supreme Court has slowed, mammoth cases are being decided, and much more lies ahead. And the clock is ticking.
