The first thing President Joe Biden did the morning after he delivered his State of the Union address was to board a plane for Wisconsin, taking his message directly to the blue-collar, swing state voters he hopes will propel his reelection in 2024.
Decision is correct on the 2nd Amendment, but it also reveals the plight of domestic abuse victims in our justice system.
The Farm Bill, or the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, as the current version is officially titled, was created in the 1930s to help keep farms from failing during the depression.
Most news and talk stations in state are dominated by right-wing voices.
The woke war on red school districts.
Carlton Jenkins announced his retirement effective at the end of July, after only three years as Madison schools superintendent.
Wisconsin proves it knows how to run fair and accurate elections.
By defending democracy itself, and the values that undergird it, like equal protection under the law, Biden did the country a real service in his State of the Union address.

Gov. Tony Evers proposes improved program to provide that support.
A school that’s making Milwaukee’s future men navigates harsh fiscal environment.

Former justice is a constitutional conservative committed to the rule of law.
Too many voters can’t see—or don’t care—why Wisconsin’s highest court once deserved national acclaim and now is a disgrace. Impartial justice, how sweet the sound, once lost not easily found.
If every Assembly district had 3 representatives rather than 1 the result would be dramatic
If we agree that we want the best life possible for future generations, I think we have to agree to do what we can to mitigate climate change.
Giving parents of all income levels the opportunity to choose the right school will open up more opportunities for greater student success and incentivize school excellence. Removing the arbitrary income limit on school choice is the right move for everyone.
While plenty of issues can sharply divide Democrats and Republicans, there are just as many – if not more – to bring lawmakers together. The continued health of the Wisconsin economy is one of them.
