I will not let the current challenges to our country posed by the president and his followers deter me from my belief that greatness is still ahead for our country.
Despite the challenges our nation faces today, the American Dream remains real for those willing to pursue it. But it is not automatic. It belongs to those who are willing to prepare for it, work for it, and build it.
I encourage my fellow Christians in calling your representative to support more refugee resettlement this year and a higher number for fiscal year 2027.
Egged on by a cabal of right-wing sycophants and enablers, including the Heritage Foundation, he has accused the museum’s leadership of being “woke,” of degrading American accomplishments, of focusing on the negative instead of the positive. In other words, it wasn’t telling the MAGA version of U.S. history.
Partisanship is particularly ugly when people have suffered loss.
What Democrats need is a candidate who will push back and fight for a policy to help all the people of the state, not the top 1%.
This is, after all, the state that gave the nation’s most prominent democratic socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders, almost 57% of the vote in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
Her ideologies are terrifying, and here’s what the media aren’t telling you.
It looks like we have the most convincing evidence to date that Sara Rodriguez is the front runner for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
Economic freedom is not a Democratic or Republican value. It should be seen as an American one. It is a fundamental animating idea of the republic that people should be free to work, build, hire, save, invest, trade and make their own economic choices without unnecessary interference from government.
Legislative Democrats will tell you the blame falls solely and directly at the feet of their Republican counterparts – myself included. However, that claim is nothing more than a disingenuous display of blatant political theater.
While imperfect, Wisconsin’s regulatory processes have allowed utilities to provide safe, reliable and affordable energy for decades. Those who propose to throw it overboard for a different system must be willing to explain how the lights will stay on, in heat or cold.
We should not allow a child to ride an e-bike or e-scooter without a helmet designed for the speed and use.
When you buy something, you should own it. Owning it means the right to fix it, or to choose who fixes it.
A slew of anti-trans state legislation was recently vetoed by Governor Tony Evers in March. While this is obviously great news, it’s concerning that these bills were not only considered in the first place but passed by the state Legislature.
A Madison-based nonprofit, The Open Notebook, is trying to buck the trend of declining coverage by giving journalists tools and confidence.
As new research raises even more questions, as moms are arrested and charged with murder, and as families continue to lose their infants to SIDS, we need more research and transparency, not less. Johnson’s letter represents an important turning point.
For 250 years, the Constitution has provided a framework that protects liberty while allowing free people to govern themselves. It does not guarantee perfection. It does something more important. It provides the tools for a free people to solve problems peacefully.
Independence Day is more than a holiday to me. It represents the freedom, opportunity, and welcome that this country extended to me. From an international student to a proud citizen of the United States, every step of this journey has shaped who I am today.
Wisconsin has spent generations building its economy on things the world needs: manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, power, water and skilled labor. Today, another essential industry is being added to that list: data centers.
