FPC Live is angling to land a sweetheart deal with the Milwaukee Bucks that would allow the Madison-based mega concert promoter to build two concert venues on prime real estate in downtown Milwaukee’s bustling Deer District.
What happens there in November will offer a preview of the political brawls to come.
I wish I could imagine a scenario under which defeated Congresswoman Liz Cheney might lead a movement that defeats both Donald Trump and Trumpism. But I think that’s unlikely and, worse, there’s a scenario where she helps him win again.
As she positions for a presidential bid, the defeated representative imagines herself as Lincolnesque. That’s absurd.
To the Cheneys, everlasting peace can be achieved only through everlasting war.
With all the celebrating over the Inflation Reduction Act, the plight of poor families was left to fester, continuing the country’s historic record of inequality and, sadly, threatening the well-being of millions of American children.
The so-called Inflation Reduction Act signed into law Tuesday by Spender-in-Chief Joe Biden won’t reduce inflation, but it will reduce manufacturing jobs, according to the state’s largest chamber of commerce and manufacturers’ association.
The Madison school district needs to increase teacher pay.
So-called Gableman investigation deserved to die for cause, not for politics.
Students in Milwaukee’s public high schools who want a better life and know that school is their only way up are being battered, assaulted and exposed to gunfire or other reckless conduct on a daily basis.
Ron Johnson, who chaired the Senate Homeland Security Committee for six years, said Mar-a-Lago is “a pretty safe place” and “a secure location.” It’s not.
With the Espionage Act, that doesn’t matter.
To cool the planet, I think we’d be better off cooling the rhetoric.
To my frustration, the Pentagon Papers sparked a debate about freedom of the press rather than focus on the mountains of lies we’d told our soldiers, the men and women who risked, and lost, the most.
Only after Gableman nearly helped defeat Vos did the speaker declare that Gableman was an “embarrassment” to our state and fired him.
Instead of an honest investigator, Gableman was always a partisan Stolen Election mythologizer. Like the Queen of Hearts, he was verdict first, evidence later.
This summer’s primaries have, as a rule, strengthened Trump’s stranglehold over his party. But there are glimmers of hope here and there. Robin Vos may be one of them.
From the Kleefisch collapse to state legislative races and everything in between.
National and in-state media paid no attention to the Republican primary, in which the senator faced a little-known challenger named David Schroeder.
Who would have guessed that the 2022 midterm elections would turn out to be a referendum on the New Deal?
