Nothing will dissuade Republicans In Trump Only. Mike Pence observing that “tourists don’t injure 140 police officers by sightseeing” only proves he is a “trader,” as one Trump intellectual called the former veep.
What his tarnished stature as Fox News board member reveals about the once golden GOP leader.
Nation swats down bigoted words from former vice-president about Pete Buttigieg.
If Protasiewicz is elected, that would tip control of the court to a majority that respects labor rights. And if challenges to the laws Walker put on the books were to come before to the court, the right-wing judicial activists who did the bidding of Walker and his corporate allies will no longer have the upper hand.
Protasiewicz has been a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge for almost a decade. Her record is extensive, and terrible.
Currently, there is no statutory guidance on how Wisconsin correctional facilities restrain pregnant women. This is out of step with correctional policies nationwide.
A new report by Badger Institute Managing Editor Mark Lisheron reveals that calls to police from MPS high schools dramatically increased — again.
The recent decision by the UW System president to end in-person instruction at UW-Richland should concern every Wisconsinite. Not specifically because of its impact on the Richland Center community, but because of the way decisions are being made about our taxpayer-funded universities without public input.
One of the ways to deal with the angst over college debt is to not go to college. More to the point, one good way to deal with it is for employers to eliminate a four-year degree requirement for jobs where it’s not needed — which is to say the vast majority of them.
In this era of America’s toxic politics, it seems that there are few troubles facing the country that Republicans in Congress won’t blame on Joe Biden.
I would like to propose to every legislative body that they call a session or incorporate into one of their first sessions the public reading of the Wisconsin Constitution, including every member participating by reading a section of the document.
Another ultimatum from the House far-right Freedom Caucus demands billions in cuts to education, healthcare, science and other spending or the debt ceiling will not be raised.
April 4 election will decide future of abortion rights in Wisconsin — and so much more.
Ensuring equity for differently abled Americans
Pence chastised Republicans who minimized the insurrection, days after Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired new security footage from inside the Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to defend the mob.
Good must triumph over evil. Forty years ago this week, President Ronald Reagan addressed a convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida.
Reps. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, and Kristina Shelton, D-Green Bay, want Wisconsin to take the lead on enacting a 21st century version of FDR’s plan.
The child care stabilization funds from the American Rescue Plan will run out later this year, and there is not currently a plan to reinstate a similar support system.
There will be twists and turns in the effort to give the Milwaukee Brewers’ billionaire owners what they want to keep them in the city for another decade and a half. But you can be sure that in the end they’ll get a couple hundred million dollars or so of the public’s money whether they need it or not.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chuck Chvala and Scott Jensen, consider whether referendums on the ballot may drive voters to the polls for the upcoming spring general election for Supreme Court and local races. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
