Last week, the Mississippi senate introduced a proposal that mandates the State Institutions of Higher Learning to select three of the eight public universities by June 2025, for closure by 2028. While the bill did not specifically name the HBCUs by name, alumni and supporters of these universities are on edge at the thought of their closure.
CNalysis makes projections on state legislative maps all over the country. Their new projection for Wisconsin’s state legislature shows where key races will be on this whole new landscape.
Donald Trump’s history of race-baiting is rubbing off on his Republicans in Congress, becoming nearly as infectious as the Covid virus has been on the nation’s health.
The politicians representing 330 million U.S. citizens need to start doing their jobs, start enforcing anti-trust laws already on the books and stop behaving like only the wealthiest 400 or so among us matter at all.
Would it not be smarter to aid our federal government to speed up the process and assist in expediting work authorization for migrants than to allow for the backlogged process to wait up to a year before getting work permits for these new arrivals?
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the candidacy rollout for Eric Hovde, a Republican seeking to unseat Dem U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
The real culprits are the right-wingers on the U.S. Supreme Court who first, in a 5-4 decision written by the late Antonin Scalia in 2008, declared that the Second Amendment gave Americans the right to own guns outside of being in a militia. Two years later, again on a 5-4 decision, this one written by Samuel Alito, the court declared that right also applies to the states.
Program that includes higher-income Native American families is result of virtue-signaling.
Rural Wisconsin is NOT voting for The Squad, John Nichols.
He stole Supreme Court seats, thwarted accountability for Donald Trump, and left a trail of partisan destruction in his wake.
When it came to the reason for governing, the need for the structure of government to operate, or why our large international purposes serve so many around the world, McConnell knew his role and demonstrated it well.
Yes, Joe Biden is old, but so is Donald Trump, a weakness amplified by Nikki Haley’s attacks on her Republican opponent.
Trump’s rebuke of American war dead has been verified by four credible witnesses, and most recently by his former chief of staff, John Kelly, who, while visiting his son’s grave in 2017, was told by Trump: “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
As the U.S. turns to the 2024 presidential election, all democracy-loving Americans should be alarmed about the rise of authoritarian rhetoric — a growing amount of it now employed by American political representatives.
For the first time in 13 years voters have the opportunity to select a candidate who will serve their needs, not the agenda of a political party.
Just how gerrymandered are Wisconsin’s districts? Let’s look at the numbers.
Is she setting up a winnable third-party run for the presidency?
If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris really are going to be the ticket again (and it’s not too late!) Democrats will dribble into Chicago the way you line up at the DMV. Death. Taxes. Joe Biden.
If the Legislature must get involved, we urge the Public Service Commission to examine why Wisconsin’s electricity rates are so much higher than neighboring states, then conduct further study to see how enacting our own ROFR would result in cost spikes for Wisconsin residents.
