John Nichols, a Wisconsin writer who carries a torch for the anti-establishment, progressive populism of Fighting Bob LaFollette, is a strange target for the conspiracy theorists who claim he was working for the “deep state” by trying to frame Trump for Jan. 6.
How do these ten who abused the very concept of free and fair elections face their grandkids when asked, “What did you do in the 2020 presidential elections?’”
Protasiewicz must recuse herself from anything resembling or close to Act 10 lawsuits. She’s made her opinions well known, and can’t possibly offer a neutral opinion after participating in protests and signing the recall.
It’s a sad state of affairs when no legislative Republicans are willing to stand up to Vos, even though their constituents directly benefit from investments in UW.
Former Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Dan Nerad faced criticism over issues that will still confront a new superintendent in 2024.
Are social media and politics to blame?
Somebody has to save us from a Supreme Court that is about to turn us into liberal hell.
Have today’s Republicans given up on persuasion, the time-honored political art of convincing others that they should agree with you?
Legislative Republicans have been dreaming of dissolving the thoroughly compromised, rabidly partisan Wisconsin Elections Commission for years, but their latest proposal to do so might actually make free and fair elections in this state less likely.
Wisconsin has good sunshine laws — if the people insist on compliance.
A bill to protect the rights of student journalists is working its way through the Legislature with bipartisan support.
In Wisconsin, under current law, anyone who sells electricity must be regulated as a utility. It doesn’t make any sense for a gas station, convenience store or grocery store to be regulated as a utility when all they want to do is offer EV charging as a product for people who drive electric vehicles.
You may or may not agree with his politics, but at the very least Paul Ryan seems to have a policy-driven perspective — and clearly cares about the nation’s future direction.
Despite everything small businesses do for our state, we still see federal policies that could severely impact our ability to succeed.
Trump ignited a firestorm this past week when he vowed to get rid of the Affordable Care Act if elected.
Last week, a coalition of unions filed a lawsuit against Act 10.
Despite the fact that Act 10 was litigated multiple times and ruled legal and constitutional every single time, the unions are suing again 12 years after Act 10 passed into law. Why? Because they and their Democrat vassals managed to elect a leftist activist majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
He’s run up big election totals in key counties and statewide running for attorney general.
LeMahieu joined in opposing an idea being pushed by some Republicans to eliminate the Elections Commission and put the administration of elections in the hands of the partisan Secretary of State’s office. And LeMahieu has called for Vos to back off on his withholding of inflationary wage increases for UW staff in order to pressure the UW administration to eliminate DEI programs.
There is so much more that could be said about the policy changes and directives intended to correct years of structural and systemic issues of fairness when it comes to HBCU’s. I don’t do empty promises and neither does Biden and Harris on their commitment to create change.
