Johnson has framed the nearly $30 trillion federal debt as a ticking clock, arguing that the United States is approaching a point where its obligations will overwhelm its capacity to respond to crises or invest in growth.
Economic justice is the key issue confronting our nation, along with support for the vital programs that invest to uphold our common good. That one man’s corruption and broken psyche has destabilized our nation to such an extent is a searing indictment of the American political system.
Welfare-to-Work programs receive millions of dollars in funding every year, but offer little public data to track impact. The Wisconsin State Legislature is taking aim to curb this.
For a leader who came up short on keeping a University of Wisconsin presence in Washington County, despite the use of two task forces, Republican governor candidate Josh Schoemann has some big ideas about reforms for the Universities of Wisconsin, also involving similar commissions.
His greatest weakness is not likely to be anything he says between now and next August when the primary will take place. Rather his problem is everything he’s ever said in the past as a state legislator and a lieutenant governor.
Does it matter? Only if you care about government transparency.
Vos pulled a procedural fast one to make sure Wisconsin wouldn’t extend Medicaid coverage to women for a year after giving birth.
If the secretary of defense himself disregards international law, how can the United States credibly demand accountability from adversaries who commit atrocities?

Josh Kaul glided into another hot oven—state regulation of artificial intelligence—and signed a letter with many of his top-cop counterparts that actually contained some reasonable arguments.
The nonprofit must raise $877,000 by Dec. 15 to stay operational, says its CEO.
Where charter schools are struggling, boards have the power to get them in shape or close them down. That type of accountability is powerful and generates results for kids. Wisconsin should not take its charter superstars for granted.
When protective laws are zealously applied to contexts for which they were not intended, it can cause its own form of harm.
The NFL is a place where Black bodies generate billions in revenue, but Black voices have little worth.
“The Global Tipping Points Report 2025,” issued by a group of 160 climate researchers from 87 institutions and 23 countries, provides some food for thought for all of us.
It seems we will have to walk through this period until a majority of the country can clearly see the lies and deception underlying MAGA.
HRAs give employees the ability to select the health plan that works best for them instead of being forced to a single, employer-sponsored option.
They succeed by being specific, measurable and local. Benefits accrue as fishermen see their ecosystem as an appreciating endowment, with rising yields.
