Wisconsin health providers and patients alike need relief, and the STOP Act will provide that for them in the form of a responsible long-term fix.
President Trump and GOP U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s incompetent response to COVID-19 continues to hammer the economy.
In true American fashion, President Abraham Lincoln explained that, “My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins.”
Gov. Tony Evers’ excuses about his waffling response to last month’s Madison riots are getting harder to buy.
Businesses need to be transparent when employees test positive for COVID-19.
We can’t allow petty whining about the “inconvenience” of wearing masks to outweigh science and common sense. If we do, some people’s liberties will lead to some other people’s death. The virus is not done with us.
After COVID-19, Washington County and Wisconsin needs to get back to work. Unfortunately, a bureaucratic process is literally getting in the way of rebuilding our economy.
While the federal Centers for Disease Control have issued guidelines for the safe reopening of schools, the responsibility for doing so will fall to states and communities, where the details of doing so may vary widely.

The crux of the latest controversy is whether media organizations — still mostly run by white executives and dominated by white journalists — are capable of effectively covering matters of race in 2020.

But it’s far more than that.
Gyms can offer a sense of community for people during hard and confusing times like these.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld laws to check the executive branch passed by the Republican Legislature in the extraordinary session of late 2018.
O’Donnell investigates the case of Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission Chairman Steven DeVougas and how it pertains to calls for police reform across the country.
And FPC Chair DeVougas looks even worse. 12 takeaways on what report did and didn’t find.
It’s the most cost effective way to slow the pandemic. So why such opposition?
My advice to the peaceful protesters: Please be very strategic in your approach.
