Tech giants must be pressured to implement a series of protections against fraudulent user accounts and address young people’s vulnerability to sextortionists and predators at large.
Some argue that universal school meals are too expensive. But the truth is, we’re already paying for the consequences of not feeding kids properly.
Our national response to immigrant children reveals a society in moral decay.
While Minnesota is where much of the resistance has been happening, my gratitude spills beyond its borders because the resistance has been virtually everywhere ICE brutality occurs.
Congress has the power and responsibility to ensure that no president, regardless of party, becomes an unconstrained authority. However, as we examine the first year of this current administration, it’s fair to say that Trump has been allowed to run amok.
Lenders don’t respond to capped interest rates by continuing to provide them with loans out of civic duty. They respond by lending less.
The messaging from the federal government — the Department of Health and Human Services and its agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — can only be characterized as a confused mess of some existing science, cherry-picked fringe studies, unproven theories, and wishful thinking.
The question isn’t whether AI will change our lives, but how Wisconsin prepares to thrive in an AI-enabled world.
State courts are often the last line of defense when it comes to protecting our fundamental rights and freedoms and in holding those who violate the law accountable, no matter how powerful or privileged. That is why this race matters, and why I am running to be your next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice.
Bothfeld v. Wisconsin Election Commission case is an opportunity for Wisconsin to turn a new page and end minority rule at the federal level. The court should move with deliberate speed to remedy this wrong and strengthen our democracy.
Rep. Brent Jacobson and colleagues introduced measures that would return lawmaking power itself to the branch where the Wisconsin constitution says it belongs.
What I admire most about Procell is how he inspired people who made mistakes. He did not shy away from discussing his past or downplay his actions. He is proof that second chances can work.
To check Trump, Americans must be convinced to vote for a Democratic-led Congress. Violence and extreme rhetoric would be wrong and counterproductive. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Tiffany’s steadfast refusal to break with the administration — even on issues where it would make sense to do so — has often required absurd political contortions. Nowhere was that more evident than in Tiffany’s response to the killing of Alex Pretti.
America’s largest federal law enforcement agency has become Trump’s own national police force.
American presidents set a tone. Some do fireside chats, this one pollutes the atmosphere with vengeful rants.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider what Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers will do in his final year in office. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
The first candidate to leave the field is Republican Josh Schoemann.
Two bills renew the Knowles-Nelson in name but fundamentally weaken the stewardship program’s core purpose: preserving important natural communities, protecting water quality and fisheries, and expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Writing a weekly column is always a snapshot in time. Things can and do happen to advance the story. Here are a few examples tied to my recent “Inside Wisconsin” columns:
