There are not many backstops more universally relevant today in Wisconsin than unemployment insurance. But that system, right now, is in chaos, and that chaos represents a statewide tragedy.
Many districts throughout the state have continued to keep their doors shut, despite substantial scientific evidence that it is safe to reopen. DPI data shows clearly that districts enjoy significant financial savings from keeping their doors shut.
Wisconsin this week badly lagged much of the Midwest in the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to frontline healthcare workers and senior citizens, particularly nursing home residents.
The middle of a pandemic is no time to limit the effectiveness of local health officers.
Many GOP lawmakers are preparing to launch new campaigns to effectively put hurdles in the way of voters.
What are conservatives fighting for, if not the idea that the states and the people get to govern themselves? This is the core of what conservatives are trying to conserve. But it is precisely this idea to which the objectors object.
Like his infamous predecessor, Johnson has no evidence of the massive voter fraud it would have taken for Democrats to “steal” the election.
When you give him your unconditional loyalty and he loses an election, he’ll probably ask you for a coup.
It’s not just weaker links like Ron Johnson. The party’s rising stars are embracing Trump’s deranged conspiracy theories.

The United States is facing incredible challenges and we shouldn’t be wasting our time on building useless walls and opening the spigots on our shower heads and washing machines.
And they will play a big role in 2021.
We need leadership, Democratic and Republican, in the Senate and the Assembly that are willing to take care of business for the people of Wisconsin.
A 64-year tenure as an elected official is nothing more than a source for statistics and anecdotes. What matters is where the official stood on the great issues of the time. In Risser’s case, he stood on the right side of history.
He demands Assembly meet in-person. That “could kill me,” Rep. Jimmy Anderson says.
The Edgerton School District rented a billboard to brag about making the US News and World Reports’ Best High Schools List – despite an appalling student achievement record detailed in that same magazine article.
