Taxpayers should insist on seeing hard choices and specific plans.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Putin and other Kremlin officials for war crimes. He will never personally face a trial outside Russia, but the Republicans could call for a trial in absentia to make a clear point about how not to conduct a nation’s affairs.

It is regrettable that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has had to serve as the last bastion of defense against government overreach, but that has increasingly been its role as government officials progressively don the mantle of a ruling class.

Environmental protections in Wisconsin have increasingly come under attack at all levels of government. It will be up to the courts, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court, to uphold the laws as they were designed and intended.

Health care professionals should have the freedom to provide the best medical advice and treatment to our patients without fear of being jailed. I am not going to stand by and let anyone tell me that I can’t give my patients the health care they need.

The national Democratic Party has taken a lot of hits in recent years for what many perceive as its abandonment of rural voters.

Far below the contentious battle of conservative vs. liberal for control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, voters are asked to weigh in on three ballot questions.

Emails from 4th District Republican Chairman Bob Spindell shows how partisan the race is.

Kelly helped this conspiracy along, working to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. That is not “conservative,” and it is not American.

Partisan politics has produced Supreme Court candidates who lack the character, temperament and intellect for the job.

Instead of creating new ways to stifle citizen outcry, we need to begin doing the real work to make our society more equitable and just.

Rep. Lakeshia Myers, D-Milwaukee, defends rioting in the Wisconsin State Journal.
