Like legislators from more than 30 states, I joined other Wisconsin Democratic elected officials in calling for the U.S. Senate to pass the For the People Act.
For the sake of Wisconsin’s future, please urge your representatives to pass both the bipartisan infrastructure framework and the budget reconciliation plan.
The legal battle, now before a Wisconsin appeals court, could have far-reaching consequences for civil liberties and the threshold for judicial recusal.
While the continued forbearance is most helpful, true and substantive cancellation of a portion of the debt is the policy path that must be implemented.
The precautions I take on a motorcycle help me safely enjoy my ride and spend time with family and friends. These are the same types of reasons I got the COVID-19 shot months ago.
Evers’ message was an important one. But no one is going to accuse him of being too blunt.
Freedom’s just another word for … acute respiratory distress.
My real beef with Florida is that it’s a state that caters to so many people who have few scruples.

We are seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases that is sending a panic through local and state health departments.
While the Biden administration flouts the Supreme Court’s decision ending the national moratorium on evictions, life isn’t getting any easier for millions of rental property owners — many of them small business owners.
Wisconsin’s history shows that members of Congress are united beyond party affiliation by the desire to get reelected. They draw maps that solidify incumbency and past Wisconsin Legislatures and governors rubber stamp the congressional maps.
Nobody is going to want to get off the train a mile or two from the Square and then board a bus to their heart’s desire. Take the train to Chicago and you arrive in the heart of it all. That’s the way it has to be.
