Just as Audit the Vote Rally attendees demonstrated with signs and chants calling on conservatives to “Vote Vos Out”, no one is going to be spared when we play games with our democracy.
Spending taxpayer dollars traveling to South Dakota, Arizona, to learn what?
Larson, ranking member of the Senate Education Committee, defied anyone to show evidence that CRT was being taught in Wisconsin elementary schools. He made it a wager.
There are myths and outright falsehoods circulating about marijuana — so it’s time to set the record straight.
The editorial board is flat-out wrong that Sen. Ron Johnson engaged in “secret, closed-door maneuvering” to win changes to the tax bill that benefitted 96 percent of all businesses in the country. I know because I was there.
In the upcoming budget reconciliation bill, Congress must double its current conservation program funding and dramatically increase conservation staffing.
In 2018, the Democratic governor’s election stanched Wisconsin’s lurch towards far-right autocracy. As Evers faces re-election in 2022, the stakes appear to be even higher.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just published a hit piece from the left-leaning ProPublica attacking U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson for tax relief he fought for. In doing so, the newspaper printed illegally disclosed “confidential” tax information from prominent conservative donors.
Progressives will put up a woke candidate in the mold of Mark Pocan and the Squad, thus ensuring a Derrick Van Orden victory.

Could we still rally as that Greatest Generation did while constantly and stubbornly at each other’s throat, often for no apparent reason?
The gun used to kill Chicago Police officer Ella French belonged the to alleged gunman’s brother, who was not legally allowed to own it because of a felony record for which he received a shockingly lenient sentence from a Dane County Circuit Court judge.
A political divide is evident in COVID-19 data. Republican-leaning states tend toward fewer vaccinations, more deaths.
Cooperative Network opposes increased taxes on small businesses and farms, in particular the proposed elimination of “stepped-up in basis,” a tax provision that has been in place for over a century, and has helped thousands of family-owned businesses and farms limit their tax liability and pass their operations down to the next generation.
