For the most part, federal and state officials, along with candidates in this midterm election year, are still failing to focus on the practical steps that could be taken to address the threats to workers and communities that are posed by a rapid and ill-thought embrace of artificial intelligence and robotics.
The true measure of a nation is not found in the monuments it builds, the spectacles it stages, or the grandeur it displays, but in how it cares for those who live beneath its flag. I guess a bankrupt leader, morally or otherwise, would have a problem understanding that.
The Trump administration is siphoning money from park fees fund to help pay for the so-called beautification projects in Washington, taking money that is aimed at places like Glacier National or the Petrified Forest to help pay for painting the bottom of the reflecting pool between the Washington and Lincoln memorials to the tune of $13.1 million.
Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin is threatening to pull the border patrol agents to provide security for his archipelago of gulags for people being deported from the United States.
Hypocrisy can sometimes play a surprising role in sustaining democratic norms.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District primary, where big money is backing competing GOP hopefuls. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
The Republican Party has become the Trump party. Polls suggest it’s a minority party.
School funding in Wisconsin was broken by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s historic budget cuts. The damage has compounded each year for more than a decade and a half as school budgets haven’t kept pace with inflation.
There’s some problems with this poll. … The poll doesn’t so much measure ‘support’ as it does knowledge. The proposed deal was complex, so just because it’s popular doesn’t mean its supporters understand it, or even that implementing it would make for good policy.
No upside to letting credit-spurred donations here flow elsewhere, says Kooyenga.
There are numerous flaws in the CMS analysis, but the most serious flaw is use of national and state death certificate data to determine OPO donor potential.
A coalition of 10 states, including Wisconsin, is suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for unlawfully failing to implement updated national air pollution limits meant to reduce dangerous soot exposure.
By restricting how banks recover costs associated with data access, open banking rule risks overlooking real and ongoing investments required for security, infrastructure, compliance and liability.
Twenty-five college students will travel to France next week to honor the patriots buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.
It’s inside baseball, but Thune is likely offended by Trump’s posts attacking the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, and demanding that Thune get rid of her.
In his unscripted moments, Tiffany has looked foolish in recent weeks. It’s hard to pick the worst of his stumbles.
The eight candidate Democratic field is divided into two camps: those with a better than even chance of defeating Tiffany and those whose chances are less than 50%. But it’s the two most risky candidates — Francesca Hong and Barnes — who are leading the pack right now.
And a Wisconsin fake elector plotter is asking for a payout
The bill negotiated between Gov. Tony Evers and Republican legislative leadership focused on issues that matter to families across our state. Sadly, we watched nearly every Democrat in the Legislature reject this deal simply because election-year politics and extreme ideologies don’t allow for bipartisan cooperation.
Why are many Americans so scared or even angry about AI, even when people in China, India, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia and many other countries outside Europe are not?
