Mainstream Republicans need to marginalize the extremist wing of their party as a new Speaker is sought. They need a centrist to be nominated whom centrist Democrats can vote for in the name of good governance.
If ever there was a time when working farmers from Wisconsin needed informed and engaged representation in Washington, it’s now. But they’re not getting it from the self-crowned “Cheese King.”
After retiring from the military in 2014, I made a solemn promise to the Jewish people that if anything like what took place on October 7, 2023, were to ever happen, that I would help them and their nation to the best of my ability. I am keeping that promise.
I call on all Americans to pressure their elected officials and President Biden to demand a ceasefire and an end to the hostilities. Stop weapons transfer to Israel.
Open up the oil spigot to reduce the price of oil and crush Iran financially and make oil cheaper for Israel to buy.
Here’s something you might not expect. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr,’s independent bid for president hurts Donald Trump more than Joe Biden.
When graduate work is not accepted as a job, the right to fair pay, protections from harassment and necessary benefits such as paid leave are obscured.
Once again, Vos has outmaneuvered the Democrats.
Badger State stuck in never-ending federal program.
We know and understand there are student athletes who may not identify with their birth gender. The challenge remains about whether a fair and level playing field exists.
Republicans for years have relied on highly gerrymandered districts to achieve what they could not in fair elections, but in related victories over the past two weeks, Wisconsin Democrats have beaten back attempts to subvert election results and to preserve free and fair elections.

The State Senate was in session on October 17. We passed another middle class tax cut, a child care package and 62 individual bills including two of my bills related to the Rural Broadband Expansion Grant program and Internal Revenue Code updates.
When we are able to tell the truth about Black History and “other genocides” that happened in this country, stop banning books, and pushing out those that are different, we can be honest leaders, with real moral authority and a commitment to do what’s right by all people.
Has the fever broken?
Maybe it’s something in the water — PFAS maybe? — but Wisconsin voters have been on an awful streak sending public embarrassments to represent us in Washington in recent years.
Though international policy was not the first thought in voter’s minds, I trust that such issues are now more firmly planted as we head to another presidential election one year from now.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, talk about the Assembly version of the Milwaukee Brewer’s maintenance package awaiting a Senate vote. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
“How Minds Change: The Surprising Science of Belief, Opinion, and Persuasion” by David McRaney tackles the psychology that drives our bitterly divided, tribal politics, and sheds light on the path to a more civil, democratic and constructive future.
Wisconsin is one of just a handful of states that doesn’t require a high school civics class for graduation, and more than a quarter of students never take a dedicated civics or government class. This is why the Wisconsin Civic Learning Coalition is bringing together stakeholders from across the state to strengthen nonpartisan civics and government education in schools.
