For the second time in as many days and third time in two weeks, a law enforcement officer has been shot on the streets of Milwaukee and, for what seems like the hundredth time in the past six months, the suspect was free on bail even though he faces multiple open felony cases that include charges of bail jumping.
There’s a line where cluelessness gives way to deliberately dangerous political posturing, and Johnson crossed it last week when he crashed a clown car full of quacks into the public health debate.
In the state legislature, I listened to either ill-informed comments or intentional misrepresentations about critical race theory. I couldn’t help but note that it all felt like the making of a new version of the Willie Horton ad.
UW-Madison gets too much of state funding, campuses like UWM get too little.
More parents are waking up and taking control of their children’s education, medical health.
President Joe Biden announced his renewed commitment to nominating the first Black woman ever to the U.S. Supreme Court. This is long overdue and would fundamentally change the makeup of the Supreme Court for decades to come.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer their advice for what Gov. Tony Evers and the Legislature should do with Wisconsin’s projected $3.8 billion surplus. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
President Joe Biden and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers push popular center-left policies and don’t seek power by dividing us, yet they have tepid poll numbers. Here’s why.
Regardless of which political party one calls home, there was a degree of understanding across Wisconsin about how Kevin Nicholson felt being instructed by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to stem any notion of seeking the Republican nomination for governor this August.
Not satisfied with the approximately $4.5 billion in federal COVID relief aid he has been free to spend at his whim and leisure, Evers now wants to take a big chunk of the projected $3.8 billion state budget surplus and buy off voters with quick-cash stimmies.
Wisconsin families deserve more than excuses. They deserve decisive and swift action. As attorney general, I will put an end to the policies that are placing us at risk.
Pulling cops out of public schools was a crazy idea.
It goes without saying that the latest attempts by Republican legislators to expand gun rights in the state aren’t in Matt Rothschild’s new book “12 Ways to Save Democracy in Wisconsin.”
Mandela Barnes is running as if he’s already got his party’s nomination sewn up. I’m not so sure that kind of cautious approach is going to win the day.
It is all of our business to worry about rural health.
Billionaires got exponentially richer — so much so that wealth trackers began to speculate on whether Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk would be the first trillionaire.
Tech titan Intel Corp. chose Ohio over Wisconsin as the future home of its $20 billion semiconductor manufacturing complex —an economic boon for the Buckeye State that Intel promises will bring thousands of high-paying jobs.
Let’s just cut to the chase. It comes down to this: which Black woman jurist will be acceptable to Sen. Joe Manchin?
Young people are the future of a society that values the sanctity of innocent life. Thankfully, more and more students understand that being pro-life is the social justice issue of our time.
Traditional Medicare must continue to be the model for all U.S. health care, not another target for profiteers.
