While we know that Trump will eventually be forced to leave, the political monster he created is very much alive, and that should be of grave concern to all of us.
By ignoring the plain letter of state law requiring trained deputies to administer elections in nursing homes and care facilities, the Wisconsin Elections Commission made preying upon this state’s most vulnerable even easier.
Donald Trump is still refusing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.
WILL has more funding, more staff, more Harvard. Can a new liberal law group compete?
How we treat people with arrest and conviction records gets to the heart of who we want to be as individuals and a society.
When people foil the vote suppressors, as Wisconsin citizens did on Nov. 3, the real cheaters lose.
The people have spoken, and now our government must deliver on their demands. The campaigning and voting is over, and it’s time for the governing to begin.
Drawing maps with an emphasis on promoting partisan competition, and the consensus-focused politics it yields, would do more than make the Legislature more responsive to Wisconsin’s challenges. Equally important, it would achieve citizen confidence in the process and affirm that democracy exists at the state level.
The study found unionization and politics were more important to the decision to close the schools.
Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday released his COVID-19 “relief package” with a half-billion-dollar-plus price tag that would be mainly born by state taxpayers.
Lots of new votes for both parties in election. What does it mean for the future?
Like a number of other predominantly Native American counties nationwide, Menominee voted overwhelmingly for the Democrats this year — as did precincts with substantial Native populations in other northern Wisconsin counties that backed Biden and Harris, such as Ashland, Bayfield and Douglas.
Conservative senators long urging leadership to schedule a confirmation hearing and send Wisconsin’s controversial health czar packing may not get the chance.
First lady Melania Trump’s infamous jacket has supplied the de facto slogan for her husband’s administration.
We must demand that the governor and Department of Corrections save the lives of the people who are in their care by using the powers at their disposal to stop the pandemic inside prison walls.
Some experts say half-virtual, half-in-person classes may actually be worse at spreading COVID-19.
Cutting cops unnecessarily to placate protesters will do nothing to help George Floyd or Jacob Blake.
I agree with Gov. Tony Evers that our success in fighting the virus rests on individual responsibility. Once again, I encourage everyone to adhere to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Wear a mask, socially distance, frequently wash your hands, follow local restrictions and stay home as much as possible.
There are 300,000+ cases, with 2,600+ deaths in Wisconsin. And, many of the sick will suffer lasting “damage (to) the lungs, heart and brain” (NYT). There have been 11 million cases and 250,000 dead nationally. Moreover, there is a leadership vacuum in Washington, despite the mounting horror.
A Milwaukee city proposal would raise penalties from $500 to as much as $5,000, with a maximum accumulated fine of $20,000.
