With reporters and journalists coming under more partisan attacks and a dearth of examples where both parties can find agreement on issues of the day, comes Wisconsin Assembly Bill 551 which protects budding journalists, a measure that has united some disparate voices in the statehouse.
The Board of Regents quashed a compromise on DEI by a 9 to 8 vote–once again jeopardizing construction of a new engineering building and putting on hold pay raises for 35,000 systemwide employees.
Fair maps would spur state legislative action on nonpartisan issues such as Medicaid expansion and more state support for the UW System.
While other states have taken action against the fake Electoral College electors who tried to claim that Donald Trump won their states even though he lost in 2020, the 10 fakers from Wisconsin apparently won’t face any penalties other than sprouting a few red faces.

We are far from freeing our communities from lead-in-water poisoning, especially after reviewing the devilish details worthy of our collective attention.
Poll reviews sour mood, but data paints a different picture.
But we need to reframe our thinking of electoral politics in 2024.
Austrians, like Americans, are facing the possible election of a hard-right populist next year.
The 10 “fake electors” who signed and submitted electoral college ballots declaring Trump Wisconsin’s winner have bailed out of a civil lawsuit brought by Democrats by acknowledging what is obvious to everyone but Donald Trump and his cult.
