Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, after considerable conflict, gives the colorful capitalist an opportunity to change the notoriously dictatorial social media giant.
Refusing to accept election results and to work with the political opposition are dangerous precedents that pose an existential risk to our democracy and to the Wisconsin Idea both at home and throughout the nation.
Because it really matters.
They are both captives of Donald Trump’s new Republican Party and deserve to be defeated in tomorrow’s election.
A champion of education funding, helping our schools’ national ranking rise. Tim Michels would take us backward.
Even us Trump apostates support Tim Michels and Ron Johnson!
Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes and Gov. Tony Evers are both pragmatists who understand government at its best solves problems.
Gov. Evers wants local governments to be allowed to increase their tax levies by a minimum of 2 percent, even if there wasn’t enough net new construction to justify it. That means everyone’s property taxes would go up to fill that gap.

Crime has been a driving factor this election cycle; Dorow’s court moves to another disturbing case.
The stakes are high. We are in the midst of a health care crisis, an economic crisis, and a moral crisis. But our Republican leaders don’t seem to care.
There is no infrastructure for moderates.
