We deserve a senator who is on our side, but Johnson has made it clear that he sides with big corporations, not the middle class.

Four proposed bills buttress civil rights, making it easier for more people to vote.

Johnson’s strategy is likely to cost Republicans votes up and down the ballot for years to come. This is a shame, because Wisconsin has a lot of pent-up demand for a rational conservative vision.

Education Week reported recently that calls to ban books by Black authors are increasing across the country. All this while we observe Black History Month.

Wisconsin public schools are in crisis, and only parental engagement can turn this around.

Enrollment in the Madison school district is on a concerning, downward trend.

Bill to help veterans find jobs is paid for with money that the federal government probably won’t let us use for such a purpose.

Democrats should support bail reform for two reasons: it’s the right thing to do and it’s good politics.

Yes, Milwaukee has huge problem, but it’s part of a worrisome national trend.

The coronavirus pandemic has demanded “shared sacrifice” from nurses, bus drivers, teachers and other frontline workers for the better part of two years. But Pfizer isn’t sacrificing a thing.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to extend a stay on a ridiculous circuit court decision not only on the use of drop boxes through the April 5 elections in Wisconsin, but also on the ability of people to get assistance in the delivery of their absentee ballots for the April elections.

The devaluation of Black people in the criminal justice system.

This record-breaking year presents an incredible opportunity and the momentum needed to strengthen our state as a leader for agricultural exports.

Unless kids are killed or maimed, gun battles at school are just police blotter items.

In the run-up to Tuesday’s primary election, the same people who actively voted to defund the police — or endorsed as much — are trying to convince Milwaukee voters they’re all about public safety.

Healthy workers make better employees.

Every day they dither, more rate-payer money is wasted and a deeper scar gets torn unnecessarily through the Driftless Region.

New study of improvements needed for stadium is latest step in team’s strategy.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin continues her efforts “to help American producers export their products to the international market” with sponsorship of bipartisan legislation. And, she fights to keep industrial jobs such as making new U.S. Postal Service vehicles in Wisconsin.

Folks, there is a huge dichotomy between the January 6 committee holding criminals accountable at the national level and Wisconsin’s lawbreakers getting a free pass. Once we unpack it all, we’ll realize that we gotta start pushing our Democratic Attorney
