We need to return the hiring power to November voters, so our elected officials are incentivized and rewarded by representing all of us. We can do this with Final Five Voting.
By voting “Yes” on both constitutional amendment questions, voters can reclaim for themselves the power to rein in an imperial executive branch and return the balance to the separation of powers.
Since the announcement that President Joe Biden would not seek re-election, there has been a concerted attack to malign, discredit, sexualize, and diminish Vice President Kamala Harris.
Left and right brain on the presidential ticket.
Whereas Trump and the Republicans maintained the upper hand through much of the 2024 presidential race, especially as President Biden’s campaign stumbled following a miserable performance in the June 27 debate, Harris and the Democrats now have momentum, nationally and in Wisconsin.
‘I am emotional,’ Evers said after Biden withdrew from the race. ‘He is a good friend.’
Two members of the new legislative study committee created to examine the future of the University of Wisconsin system raised concerns about how six two-year UW campuses were closed over the last year.
If WMC wins the case, it could set a precedent for all Wisconsin municipalities seeking to regulate industrial ag operations, which is of course the goal.
New housing development model can ease workforce shortage.
Democratic enthusiasm rises in Wisconsin: And yet, it’s still a toss-up. Plus: A brutal poll for Eric Hovde, JD Vance’s starting point, and key takeaways from questions on deportation policies.
Expect to see Harris, Walz, Baldwin and Cooke listening and talking with Wisconsin rural, suburban and rural voters.
We must do our due diligence and research candidates, refuse mediocrity and lip service from those who represent us, and demand better leadership. To ignore this, is to allow chaos in our community.
This is not a change election. It’s a more of the same election, which in Madison means which progressive is more progressive?
While Trump speaks of what he calls American carnage at his endless rallies, the truth is that during the nearly four years of Joe Biden’s presidency, the economy has dramatically outperformed the previous four years. And that’s true right here in Wisconsin.
Harris has made freedom a watchword for her campaign against the authoritarian threat posed by Trump, often employing Beyoncé’s “Freedom” as rally music.
Certainly, the Democratic version of comedy rejects MAGA Republicans and pictures their standard bearer as toxic. Still, for Harris and Walz, the comic frame seems to leave enough political elbow room for those who usually don’t vote Democrat to discover the foolishness of supporting the Republican presidential ticket.
A proposed university plaque would acknowledge the former UW president’s influence in a 20th-century movement that prompted sterilization, discrimination and genocide.
American-made clean energy is more than just a power source. It’s a cornerstone of local economic development and community resilience.
It makes sense that the DNR regulation regarding carrying firearms on boats would be relaxed, given the outdated rationale for the rules. Folks will use bows to shoot carp or a few other species, but I wouldn’t think any sane fisherman in today’s culture would dare to open fire on the open water trying to bring in a musky.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss recent financial problems at Milwaukee Public schools, their history and the need to fix them. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
