We’ve asked a few of our favorite friends and contributors to look into their crystal balls to try to predict what will happen in 2021
The research-based “Marshall Plan” suggests a framework to quickly reverse one of the most damaging effects of the pandemic.
Sun Prairie’s Woke educrats want families to know that their children are in good hands in the wake of this week’s violent political demonstrations in Washington, D.C. — thanks to “social-emotional” learning standards.
The effort to block Wisconsin’s votes failed when no member of the U.S. Senate joined in the objection.
The president incited his supporters to invade the Capitol and disrupt the certification of the 2020 election. That is too high a crime to ignore.
There must a determined and bi-partisan pushback against those who would undermine due process and rip at the foundations of democratic institutions.
A recall effort, attacks by the Lincoln Project, angry editorial and much more.
But he should be fired.
We need to apply the lessons of 2020 to ensure that not only does Wisconsin recover, but that we create a Wisconsin stronger than ever.
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.
Republican senators should take a chapter out of American history. We should learn from the acts that lead to the Compromise of 1877 and not create a new Compromise of 2020.
There is one blog from last year I’d take back if I could. In May I wrote one titled “Dump Biden.”
