Democrats are leading with abortion while Republicans are leading with crime, and crime is winning.
The Social Security program emerged from discussions in the economics department at the University of Wisconsin, which also developed programs such as unemployment insurance, workers compensation, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and other social programs. Prototypes for national legislation on these topics first passed in the state of Wisconsin.
Josh Kaul and Eric Toney are miles apart on many issues, but when it comes to open government, the candidates vying for Wisconsin attorney general in the Nov. 8 election agree: More money is needed to handle enforcement of the state’s transparency laws.
The Inflation Reduction Act provides a historic opportunity for Wisconsin to accelerate the transition to affordable clean energy, electric vehicles and fleets, energy-efficient buildings, advanced manufacturing, agricultural innovation, and environmental justice to significantly reduce emissions, create thousands of jobs, cut costs for consumers, strengthen energy supply chains, and improve the health of our communities.
Johnson has spent the last 12 years in Washington as a national embarrassment, and if the Democrats fail to get that message across, he’ll spend another six years in the nation’s capital sucking up to Donald Trump and acting like Joe McCarthy reincarnated.
Knowing that Republicans were planning to gavel in and out of the session without taking any action, Evers and a phalanx of other Democratic candidates proceeded to a pre-planned rally on the Capitol steps, where they denounced Republicans and turned the failed special session into a campaign issue.
The governor is not only challenging the state’s 1849 law on abortion rights, he’s proposing to expand direct democracy in the state.

We allowed this to happen and now, at the very least, we should endure his painful spectacle because as long as we allow the people who continually set Darrell Brooks, Jr. free to serve in the justice system in any capacity whatsoever, we should feel the consequences of our actions. Because Darrell Brooks, Jr. never did.

Legally unjustified but politically motivated judicial edicts are becoming not only more common but increasingly the preferred method of advancing the radical extremism of the Trump/Republican Party.
More than 68 percent of respondents say the soaring price of groceries is motivating them to vote in November’s midterms, according to a new poll from Convention of States Action.
Don’t be fooled by the change in Rep. Loudenbeck’s reason for seeking the office of Secretary of State.
Democrats can win these races if they counter GOP attacks with a strategy that shifts the debate toward the issues that matter most to voters.
While Wisconsinites were struggling with Evers’ idiotic and tyrannical edicts during the pandemic, the governor kept his lackadaisical schedule, ate his ice cream, played pickleball, and led his best life at taxpayers’ expense. It is offensive.
Americans from the president on down may be over the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean it’s done with us.
