Louis Fortis: Ukrainians are giving their lives for democracy
Maybe we can learn from them?

Scott Walker: Joe Biden is an incompetent fool
When he was Vice President, officials in the Obama White House would excuse his comments by saying, “that’s just Joe.” As President of the United States, however, Mr. Biden’s gaffes have much larger consequences around the world.

Stan Milam: Bryan Steil among those displeased with federal Department of Transportation
The federal government’s Department of Transportation is warning states to use federal infrastructure money to build bicycle paths, roundabouts and pedestrian paths instead of more traditional uses such as highway projects.

John Nichols: Economic Justice Bill of Rights outlines the transformative change Wisconsin needs
If we are ever going to have the kind of politics that is consequential, that excites voters for the right reasons, it must have at its core a recognition of what government can and must do to free people from

Both among top members of Congress in getting earmarked federal spending for this state

Dan O’Donnell: Parents have their say
“If parents want to ‘have a say’ in their child’s education,” Democratic Wisconsin Representative Lee Snodgrass sneeringly tweeted in February, “they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their own budget.”

Scott Frostman: More production can ease the pain at the pump

LaKeshia N. Myers: New news regarding student loan debt
The U.S. Department of Education told Congress last year it was revising a restrictive bankruptcy policy for federal student loans.

Paul Smith: Gov. Tony Evers’ vetoes show he’s listening to the Wisconsin conservation community
He now has Hunter Nation to thank for burnishing his record.
