When people are not weighed down by heavy tax burdens, they rise up and uplift all the aspects that make our great state, well, great.

Regardless of voting patterns, different styles of life and potential for disagreement, if we listen to each other with an ear open to finding agreement, instead of looking for battles, we can actually find common ground and get things done.

It all began with his first-ever campaign for public office back in 1994. It’s still cited as one of the most vicious in the state’s election history.

The secret is out in Black America. Choice schools work better.

The Evers administration continues to stumble and bumble its way through COVID-19 vaccine distribution, with the Badger State ranking 46th in doses administered.

Their goal – and I don’t think I’m being too radical about this – is for Evers to have no power to fix anything and to be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.

Born in Pennsylvania and raised in Delaware, Biden may seem like an unlikely fan for the Green Bay team.

Plans for a new history museum, which threatened the Churchill building, Madison’s first skyscraper, have shifted to a new site.

While the Republicans put forth seemingly high-minded rationales for continuing to deprive these Americans of their right to be represented in Congress, the real reason is they fear that the good people of Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico may not choose to elect Republicans.

Under Biden’s order, transgender service members will now receive the medical treatment they need to transition, and they cannot be discharged based on their gender identity.

Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the utter mess that the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission has become, little progress was made during 2020 in the efforts to reform the MPD.

The Republican-controlled Senate on Tuesday passed a joint resolution that aims to end Gov. Tony Evers’ endless emergency declaration and his statewide mask mandate.

Bad Yemen policy predates the outgoing administration, but things got worse under Trump.

It is high time to create a statewide eligibility standard. Sen. Dale Kooyenga’s bill does just that by raising the eligibility standard to 300% of the federal poverty limit for the WPCP, matching the programs in Milwaukee and Racine.

His choice of Joe Biden was decisive and may have been the only Democrat who could beat Trump.

Immediately after the ceremonies, Biden went about the business of dismantling as much of his predecessor’s legacy as he could with a series of executive orders.

On day one, Biden signed a number of executive orders to reverse many Trump era policies. However, we can’t continue to be a nation governed by executive order ensuring that our policies change with each election. We have to do the work.

It is the duty of the party that created the damage to aid in repairing our institutional foundations.

Without a more democratic America we will not win health care for all, decent wages and jobs for all workers, meaningful action to fight climate change, or real policies to dismantle the systemic racism that plagues our nation.
