Political centrists in the United States are suffering a severe case of disappointment as they watch the two political parties staying in the same old partisan rut that preceded the election of Joe Biden as president.
We may be turning out smarter tech savvy graduates, more knowledgeable scientists and engineers, but have we sacrificed what is required of an American in keeping the flame of democracy burning?
Freedom, Inc. wants to totally eliminate police departments and free almost everyone from prison.
How public employees beat the odds to create a union.
Gov. Tony Evers says he’ll include legalization of recreational marijuana in his upcoming two-year budget plan. Under Evers’ plan to be formally introduced Feb. 16, the drug would be treated much like Wisconsin regulates and taxes alcohol. Wisconsin would join

More executions in Trump’s last six months than in previous 56 years of the presidency.

Republicans legislators with safe seats needn’t worry about voter blowback.
