Harassing election officials and working to undermine the integrity of Wisconsin elections has become a central part of Republicans’ electoral strategy.
Gov. Tony Evers fancies himself as the “Education Governor.” So, why have K-12 student proficiency numbers plummeted in his nearly three years in office?
Local governments, awash in federal cash, still trying to spend down millions from the CARES Act.

They would be shocked at what played out at the Capitol this past January.
While the federal government gives families a hand with food vouchers, a lot of people still struggle to connect the dots — even more so amid rising inflation.
Vaccines are the best way to control and end the pandemic. Listen to doctors and facts – not quacks. Get vaccinated!
