News organizations seem unable to resist giving wildly over-the-top attention to politicians who say and do outrageous things — and that’s a real problem.
Evers isn’t going for the boat; he’s looking to buy a yacht.
Our educational environment has been built around a concept of “race” which has determined who could and could not gain access to high quality, well funded education.
What is the Republican reaction to losing the most secure election in American history and how do they intend to stop that from happening in the future? Well, it’s the standard conservative go-to: voter suppression.
When asked this week why DHS officials quietly upped the number of nursing home deaths from 1,956 to 2,927, Evers rather perplexingly claimed that state investigators simply couldn’t figure out where thousands of COVID victims lived.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ administration messed up the expiration date on the governor’s latest state mask mandate and then quietly “fixed” the error, an Empower Wisconsin review of executive order drafts finds.
Refund the federal dollars back to Wisconsin taxpayers … Rather than move the money around government or pick winners and losers, the most effective way for state and local officials to give people relief is to simply refund the federal stimulus dollars back to Wisconsin taxpayers.
Luke Hilgemann of Hunter Nation claimed in a column last Sunday that the February wolf hunt in Wisconsin did not go over its harvest quota by much, and that the hunt was based on sound science. He’s wrong on both counts.
The most troubling element of the board’s plan is prevent high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, with some exceptions for students who are failing one or more classes, from returning to the classroom at all this year.
In my lifetime I’ve watched the NRA evolve from an organization that promoted gun safety and education, especially for young people wanting to learn the art of hunting so they could join their fathers, into a super-charged bullying lobby that threatens anyone who has the audacity to suggest we need to get a handle on our nation’s overwhelming gun problems.
Once upon a time I used to joke that because I was born in Mississippi and raised in Wisconsin that I’m from Wississippi. Well, it’s no longer a joke, and it has more to do with the rampant racism here than it does with where I was born and raised.
From Los Angeles to New York, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, police made similar mistakes.
Not by the Legislature. Instead court cases seek new policies to restrict voting.
Our hurts and our fears are deserving of renewed attention and sustained advocacy. Asian lives are deserving of so much more than heartbreak.
There’s a good chance that the Democrats will lose the majority in one or both houses of congress in 2022. So, now is the time to pass sensible, moderate and reasonable gun control laws.
Last week’s revelation that the Department of Health Services has been for the past year significantly undercounting COVID deaths in long-term care facilities calls into question not only the Evers Administration’s competence, but also its trustworthiness.
Buoyed by vaccination success, all of the numbers for coronavirus in Wisconsin are headed in the right direction.
Menard, Hendricks, Kohler among top 100 plutocrats getting richer during pandemic.
Last week Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich and other city officials complained they were not invited to an Assembly committee informal hearing on well-heeled third party groups’ involvement in Green Bay’s November election. Now invited to appear next week before the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections, Genrich and crew are begging off.
UWM has shown an increasing awareness that its main mission of education is not its only responsibility. It has launched several major initiatives that deal directly, not indirectly, with the biggest issues in the M7 region.
