The only way to stop the Republican bullies and their special interest, big-money allies like Wisconsin Manufacturing & Commerce is to hit back. Perhaps when they realize that both sides can throw a punch, we’ll revert to more civilized judicial campaigns.
An innocent mistake illustrates why “The Talk” remains necessary for Black and brown youth
Vouchers are largely tax subsidies for existing private school families, and a tax bailout for struggling private schools. They have harmful test score impacts that persist for years, and they’re a revolving door of school enrollment.
Senator Baldwin made the correct call about the F-35s. The vast majority of the voters across Wisconsin support the decision.
The DNR has had ample time to review the Line 5 relocation project and it is our hope they will approve it without further delay.
How about, for once, law-abiding citizenry contact all 37 members to encourage YES votes on two resolutions.
CEO’s decision to remove art works raises questions about governance of public entity.
For decades, when sports teams from Milwaukee and Chicago have played each other, I-94 gets a lot of traffic and thus has been dubbed the path for I-94 Rivalries. Perhaps with the recent announcement that the Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago in August of 2024, combined with the RNC in Milwaukee a month earlier, the interstate should get an additional nickname.

Actually, he doesn’t want you to have a car at all. Neither does the World Economic Forum.
We know one thing for sure about the 2023–24 election cycle: Republicans will label Democrats and their policy proposals as “socialist,” one of the most successful one-word epithets in the arsenal of political opposition rhetoric.
Recently, too many candidates around the country have refused to admit they lost, even when the objective evidence they did is recognized by fair-minded people of both parties.
Celebrating Middle Eastern heritage matters, countering post-9/11 anti-Arab sentiments and promoting inclusion within the American mosaic.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice-elect Janet Protasiewicz’s double-digit victory means change is “blowing in the wind” in Wisconsin.
