The promise of congressional representation, like so many other promises made to the first peoples of North America, was broken by the initial 117 Congresses of the United States. And now it is being broken by the 118th Congress — even though a delegate designated four years ago by the Cherokee Nation is ready, willing and able to serve.
Children’s Wisconsin has instructed employees not to use words such as “angry,” “articulate,” “picnic” and phrases like “hip hip hooray” and “brown bag” over concerns about their supposedly racist origins.
The GOP-led House should get serious. Introduce legislation for emergency military aid to Israel and Ukraine, assistance to Taiwan (threats from China) and funding to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Such a package would pass with widespread bipartisan support.
If elected, Trump will use government as a weapon against our Democracy to do things none of us has seen in our lifetime.
The WisOpinion insiders, Chvala and Jensen, talk about their experience with state budget surpluses and the battle between Democrats and Republicans over how to allocate the current surplus. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Something tells me America would be a far better place even today if not for that tragedy in Dallas, 60 years ago today.
We returned to Milwaukee and a changed world. Exactly sixty years later and the might-have-beens of history.
Tuesday was a historic day in Wisconsin.
We can all have a sense of community regardless of where we live, or what circumstances we face.
Those we elect and send to Madison should do for people what they as a community or individuals cannot do for themselves.
Evil is real and present, but there are alternatives to doing nothing.
Taiwan is grateful to both the Biden administration and the Congress for upholding the United States’ rock-solid commitment to Taiwan under the Taiwan Relations Act and Six Assurances. We appreciate the unswerving support expressed/demonstrated by Congressman Gallagher of Wisconsin and his (similarly disposed/like-minded) colleagues.
There are programs to prevent conflicts, repair and stabilize disrupted communities, and demonstrate cost effective positive change in troubled areas.
I’ve long referred to Trump as a quasi-fascist. That was being too kind. This man must be defeated.
Gerrymandering transformed Wisconsin, with a population split between two major parties, into a state with a veto-proof majority in the Legislature for GOP.
With a joint effort in State Capitols and in Congress, we have an opportunity to strengthen election integrity and build Americans’ confidence in our elections.
No matter what the problem is in this country, it seems like President Joe Biden is to blame.
I applaud President Joe Biden for establishing a new White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has released the legally required district report cards for the 2022-2023 school year. If the results do not make you feel shame and anger, then you do not really care about education.
The 32nd president’s proclamations were distinct statements that promoted liberal idealism and cooperation in struggles against economic turbulence at home and the rise of fascism in Europe.
