So Make America Healthy Again finally found its way to Madison this month when lawmakers gave a pair of Republican-sponsored bills each a hearing, and while groups such as Wisconsin United for Freedom were ecstatic, and rightly so, some libertarian-ish types were reaching for their Tums.
We must protect Medicaid for the millions who rely on it. Tell Congress not to endanger the health of our country.
By moving the United States another step toward the wealth-dominated oligarchy that FDR warned against, Tiffany and his fellow Republicans made American less equal, less free and more vulnerable to “the most ancient of mankind’s enemies.”
I have always believed the Trump administration contained a troubling undercurrent of racism. The question is how we confront this injustice moving forward.
Donald Trump and his administration are slowly but inexorably eroding our American democracy in multiple ways. The end result may not be all that different than a military takeover and suspension of constitutional government, but it’s happening incrementally and on many fronts.
Our obligation is to work together to create and advance a care plan that will honor the defenseless and protect our most vulnerable. This is a call for action, a call to the people who have the ability and responsibility to make changes and regulate a critical industry. We want and need safe, affordable housing for our aging friends and family members—and for ourselves.
It is right and important that we remember and grieve with the families, the mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, who lost loved ones in America’s wars.

The victor will succeed Ben Wikler.
If Evers were truly adhering to the court’s directive, he would have made the smallest possible changes to balance populations, not orchestrated a wholesale transfer of tens of thousands of voters to reshape electoral outcomes.
The GOP-led House passage of the misnamed “One Big Beautiful Act” cuts taxes mostly for the wealthy, shreds food aid and health care coverage, and massively increases the national debt.
Medicaid cuts are what the Senators will be most attuned to as they now take up the highly flawed and overly mean-spirited House bill.
What did Democrats know and who will be held accountable?
Under the Trump administration, a troubling narrative has emerged that America might as well have a metaphorical “For Sale” sign plastered across its forehead—or perhaps, more aptly, Uncle Sam’s.
It’s bizarre, but for some reason our politicians view fixing our infrastructure to accommodate faster and more reliable passenger trains as prohibitively expensive, but think nothing of building billion-dollar interchanges and adding a couple of lanes to highway corridors that cost billions more.
Despite promises of choice and competition, voucher programs have repeatedly failed to demonstrate academic improvements for students.
The jobs being eliminated are already of those working in classrooms.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss legislation deadlocked in committee that would give utilities doing business in Wisconsin the right of first refusal for transmission line projects as utilities and transmission line companies lobby in support. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
By supporting clean energy solutions, energy efficiency measures, and creative management of our grid, we can reliably support the around-the-clock energy needs of data centers and the needs of everyday Wisconsinites.
Developers need more certainty if housing market to rebound for middle earners.
