Abortion rights advocates are about to get their second preliminary victory in a month when Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz is sworn in as a Supreme Court justice.
As a woman and a medical professional, I simply can’t believe that — in 2023 — we are having to defend basic contraception against politicians with a dangerous habit of discounting science and playing politics with people’s lives.
Wisconsin’s minimum markup law harms consumers by driving prices higher.
Gov. Tony Evers proposed to have the state keep funding the program after the federal aid expires this year, but Republican legislators jettisoned that proposal from the budget.
On August 1, Supreme Court Justice-elect Janet Protasiewicz will be sworn in, giving liberals a 4-3 majority on the state’s highest court for the first time in more than 15 years.
Seniors, people with disabilities and AARP are fed up with the SSA’s poor service.
It is Kinzinger’s experience inside the Republican Party, I think, that makes him an especially important speaker for an audience in Madison, where the sharpest political divide is often between the far left and the center left.
Trump’s desire to thwart the faith of the citizenry in the very foundations of our government is exactly what authoritarians do when they wish to take power and undo democratic processes.
In the majority opinion of the court, Chief Justice John Roberts definitively stated that, “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.”
Becoming a national figure with ever more effective leadership. Just ask the Republicans.
At some point, we have to give POTUS and the V.P. the credit they deserve. We need to search out the facts, be willing to challenge what we are being told, and in the words of rap icons, Public Enemy, “Don’t believe the hype!”
At some point, the law of diminishing returns kicks in.

New fair district maps would bring accountability back to government and help people sleep at night knowing compromise can happen no matter what political party controls the levers of power in Wisconsin.

The latest federal economic data is very good news. The polls, however, don’t reflect this positive data.
Our state has an aging population, declining birth rates and is facing, at best, neutral immigration — all of which will impact higher education and our workforce.
With the decision in the Brown vs. Board of Education case (1954), the Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal” educational facilities for students were unconstitutional. While the decision was lauded for its declaration that separate but equal was unconstitutional, the high court did not give any guidance on how or when desegregation in public schools would take place.
And it is imposed institutionally by the United States government.
