Primary night in Wisconsin revealed some crucial messages – and some mixed signals.

The solution from Biden and congressional Democrats is spending more money, printing more money, and raising more money through sweeping taxes under the ill-named Inflation Reduction Act.

Regardless of his opponent, there’s plenty of fodder to criticize the past three-plus years, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Our state’s race for the U.S. Senate this fall will be as closely watched — and probably as negative — as any in the nation.

Wisconsin’s lieutenant governor embodies both the flaws and the promise of his generation.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty alleges in a complaint the city’s use of mobile voting sites throughout the community violates state law governing alternate absentee ballot sites.

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.

Poll shows Becky Kleefisch winning and Michels is crying foul.

Seeking political relevancy in fractured Republican party?

This Electoral College has allowed Donald Trump (2016), George W. Bush (2000), Benjamin Harrison (1888), Rutherford B. Hayes (1876) and John Quincy Adams (1824) to become president when their opponents received more votes by citizens who voted. This is the exact opposite of what a “representative democracy” is supposed to be.
