The Supreme Court requested parties to the case to submit maps with minimal changes from current boundaries. Yet, in his attempt to rig the congressional maps, Gov. Evers submitted maps that not only did not follow the court’s order, they didn’t even follow his own public statements opposing political gerrymandering throughout this process.
It is time to say the names of senators who can make a positive difference to save our democracy, to heed the call for bipartisan passage of voting rights legislation voiced by President Biden.
When David Maraniss emailed me earlier this week with the sad news that his older brother, Jim, had died of a heart attack, it brought back a swirl of memories from newspaper days past.
Johnson’s global megaphone and deceitfulness can be shut down, but only with a strong pro-democracy turnout on Nov. 8.

My County Board and the one that brother Mike chaired (1992-1996) built the Public Safety Building, a new courthouse, built the Exposition Hall at Alliant Energy Center, merged the city and county public health departments, made electricity from waste at the county landfill, ended a Depression-era welfare program for single men, and adopted program efficiency audits.

It’s not that the unions don’t have some legitimate arguments for keeping schools online for now. But those arguments are only marginally better than the case for opening them up. And, on the politics, the answer is clear. Open the schools.
We need collective action to protect our health.
Less than a month after being promoted, an administrator in the state Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit against Kaul and his top deputy.
With democracy, the pendulum usually swings back when things go too far, and yet for decades, high crime has ripped across the United States. America is the only western country with third-world crime rates.
