If we take just a minute to step back and see the grandeur of the SOTU, the process of how our government operates, and the attempts at decorum (minus the ones who acted boorishly with outbursts), all while robust policy disputes stew below the surface, we then can understand the power of this tradition.
For some unhealthy reason, the mini coalitions in the Republican party have decided that a circular firing squad and name-calling are more important and self-righteous than the ultimate goal of winning elections and controlling the political discourse.
Gov. Tony Evers proposes improved program to provide that support.
A school that’s making Milwaukee’s future men navigates harsh fiscal environment.
Those who want to “escape” to Florida, its bad schools, regressive government and perennial climate disasters to avoid paying an income tax that benefits all, I say good riddance.
Former justice is a constitutional conservative committed to the rule of law.
Too many voters can’t see—or don’t care—why Wisconsin’s highest court once deserved national acclaim and now is a disgrace. Impartial justice, how sweet the sound, once lost not easily found.

In learning about the passing of the show’s co-creator Lloyd Morrisett, this month, I was completely unprepared for the backstory about how Big Bird and the crew came to be.
Data shows smoking consequences.
It’s one thing to have an unforeseen train wreck, but quite another to make a train go off the tracks and explode. However, that’s what House Speaker McCarthy, House Republicans and Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson are doing in refusing to raise the debt ceiling.
DeSantis takes lead in eliminating DEI and CRT bureaucracies.
Former Gov. Scott Walker, who will never be accused of being a student of history, declared the other day that drag shows are the same as strip shows.
The FMLA’s qualifications for eligible workers excludes about 62% of workers in Wisconsin, most of whom are low-income and/or part-time workers who cannot afford to miss a shift.
