Perhaps instead of turning Madison upside down, we ought to be looking at how to we can use its examples to keep Wisconsin upright.

We know that Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson and his staff are coordinating with Democratic Party operatives in a sweeping get-out-the-vote campaign. Why? Because they tell us in text messages.

Their solution is to raise interest rates, but raising rates will not dramatically improve the supply of workers, nor will it generate chips and other parts so badly needed. They live in cocoons. They are isolated.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, examine the impact of President Biden and former President Trump on the midterm elections. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.

I’m beginning to wonder if the Burlington Liars Club can hold a candle to the raft of untruths that are being tossed around like tennis balls this election season.

Will the media ever fact-check him?

Aided by the recently court-approved Republican re-gerrymander of Wisconsin’s congressional districts, and the stepping down of Kind, Van Orden is favored to win that House seat in November.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin has sued the City of Milwaukee and its mayor, Cavalier Johnson, over their participation in the “Milwaukee Votes 2022” initiative—a barely-disguised partisan effort to maximize Democrat turnout in the upcoming midterm election.

It is alarming how casual and uncaring the university has been in allowing charges of racism and white supremacy to stand against a worthy alumnus whose own towering civil rights record dwarfs that of all those responsible for stripping and keeping his name off the Play Circle.

The Department of Public Instruction on Thursday morning quietly released the latest statewide test scores. The results are pretty grim, according to a review by the Institute for Reforming Government — hence the quiet release.

Why would a government, such as Wisconsin’s state government, go on requiring, by law, higher prices even though there is a broad bipartisan consensus that it should stop? And shelves of research showing it to be pernicious?

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson and his aide sought advice from a Democratic Party operative on how to explain a citywide get-out-the-vote campaign that critics have called Zuckerbucks 2.0, according to texts and emails obtained by Empower Wisconsin.

When faced with an intransigent legislative majority, the people must have a voice. As Governor Evers likes to quote, “The will of the people is the law of the land.”

Wisconsin politicians are scrambling to catch up to the massive change in public opinion on the issue of abortion.

We need glue guys. Institutions that do the little things, the dirty work, sacrificing for the good of civil society, holding communities together, making them greater than the sum of their parts.

The slippery downhill slide to autocratic goals via menacing political maneuvers from governments worldwide is a concern that more people simply must take stock of and push back against.

Will proposed venues bring more concerts to town or crush its current concert promoters?

Republicans are very likely to win a supermajority in the State Senate. But a handful of key races could really change things.

WMC and its partners in the “Coalition for Educational Freedom” are lining up behind Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels to open up so-called school choice — that is, taxpayer-financed vouchers — to the entire state. Too bad WMC doesn’t want to be among those who will pay the bills.

The message is both clear and overdue: Inaction is not an option.
