Even now, nearly two years after Trump left the White House, the intelligence community is still openly operating against him, trying desperately to ensure that he can never regain the presidency.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos just barely escaped with his political life, defeating his Donald Trump-backed challenger by about 260 votes.
The number of people who are feeling let down by or fed up with the two major parties has never been higher.
Ensuring accountability and that no president ever abuses the office in this manner again is essential.
Fixing Social Security and Medicare won’t get any easier with time.
Everyone in a position of power must do everything they can to support abortion access and one’s ability to make their own health care choices.
Trump-backed candidates shake up the GOP establishment. Now what?
Former President Donald Trump won one and lost one in Wisconsin’s August primary elections.
Republicans hope to discredit elections by relentlessly spreading the lie that Wisconsin’s election apparatus is full of holes and being abused.
The GOP leader in the House proposes to intimidate and undermine those who are investigating Donald Trump.
The cleanup of waterways like the Wisconsin and the Fox remains one of our greatest accomplishments of the last century. At George Mead’s passing, he should be remembered for his leadership at a key moment in environmental history.

Seeking political relevancy in fractured Republican party?
This Electoral College has allowed Donald Trump (2016), George W. Bush (2000), Benjamin Harrison (1888), Rutherford B.

This is the exact opposite of what a “representative democracy” is supposed to be.
When frustrated professionals waiting for their long-delayed licenses reach out to Gov. Tony Evers’ office for help, they get an automatic email — a political screed blaming the Republican-controlled Legislature for Wisconsin’s licensing crisis.
Republican senators such as Johnson put political gamesmanship ahead of doing right by their most vulnerable constituents.
At this time as we reflect on the resignation, we need to ask ourselves if our politics really did survive that event or was it instead a demarcation line where faith was lost in our political institutions that have never again been mended.
As schools resume charging for lunches, I pray that no child will ever miss a meal because of an unpaid balance. Every youth deserves a mock chicken leg memory!
Against helping middle-working class families and veterans: Johnson must be defeated in November.
It’s hard for political candidates to know if cozying up to Trump is a boost or a third rail.
