Republican politicians are now working to put in place measures that would deny the American public the right to choose their leaders in free and fair elections.
In essence, it comes down to Education, Infrastructure, Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity for all.
Political games vs. tangible benefits for struggling Americans.
The governor on Friday quickly vetoed a Republican-led COVID relief bill that included $100 million to combat the virus, protections for businesses and schools against frivolous pandemic-related lawsuits, and federal money for jobless and hungry Wisconsinites.
The problem with the GOP approach is that they leave science and medically-driven data out of the equation.
The congressman is objecting to the Department of Homeland Security policy supporting equal access to Covid-19 vaccinations for immigrants here illegally.
I fully expected the two Republican legislators to break out into a “did not,” “did too” back-and-forth shout down as they stumbled all over themselves, bound and determined to rid the state of what they insist is a dreaded and illegal mandate from the governor for wearing masks during a pandemic that has killed nearly 6,000 Wisconsin citizens.
Republican legislators face little accountability for their shameful COVID-19 response because their party rigged the maps back in 2011 to ensure themselves “safe” districts and an iron-clad hold on power.
Republicans legislators with safe seats needn’t worry about voter blowback.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider the political future of U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, the Oshkosh Republican who is up for reelection next year.
The best path for Joe Biden and Tony Evers is to aggressively govern for all while trumpeting why they’re doing it. With the GOP still ruled by Donald Trump, bipartisanship remains a fantasy.
When this latest public health emergency expires in early April, Wisconsin will have spent 360 of the past 391 days in a state of emergency that was never once extended by joint resolution of the Legislature, which state law clearly and obviously requires.
Exposing his “brazen” lust for power, Gov. Tony Evers on Thursday hastily dismissed a legislative resolution and issued another public health declaration that extends his statewide mask mandate.
Legislators wrong to criticize inmates getting the vaccine when prison infection rates are so high.
Why even the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine has been a hot mess
