As we welcome the end of this political campaign season, the next one is already beginning. If we want to de-escalate our political arguments, we can do so by putting down our devices, talking to people in person, and making our government smaller.
Like my great-grandmother, my grandmother and my mother, I have always delighted in the rituals of Election Day. So, despite it all, I headed over to Lapham School on Tuesday, where my daughter Whitman, Kitty Levake Adams’s great-great-granddaughter, was working the polls.
College voter suppression in Wisconsin, other states could lose those voters forever.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s wake up call for a new era of federal spending insanity and its consequences.
Whether this is a close election or a blow out, a good quarter of the American people are going to be shocked. I just hope the shock doesn’t lead to anger that fuels violent destruction.
The state’s biggest and richest lobby jumped all in for Trump this week, proving that its real interests are tax breaks and lax regulation no matter what the man in charge is doing to the rest of the country and its standing in the world.
The republic can survive an imperfect president. But the Democrats may transform it utterly. I have my issues with Donald Trump. But I cannot vote to empower policies and a worldview that will cause the country greater harm.
A group of women who belong to the USW union, based in Pittsburgh, has spent the weeks leading up to the election traveling the country — mostly the Midwest — projecting the Biden-Harris logo and reminders to vote on buildings and landmarks, including Lambeau Field in Green Bay and the state Capitol in Madison, under cover of darkness.
Tuesday is Election Day. I’m not going to tell which candidate deserves your vote. I’m not going to issue an endorsement. As former presidential aspirant and current U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said in 2016, you should vote your conscience.
Joe Biden is in a better position to win now than Hillary Clinton was in 2016. While a Trump victory is not impossible, the rapidly worsening pandemic in Wisconsin will likely cost him the state.
Who do you want in charge of the economy?
Biden will save the ACA and beat COVID-19.
Biden’s fracking ban and net zero emissions plan for the next 15 years will harm Wisconsinites with increased energy costs, lost jobs, hurt our economy, and force us to pay more – all the while, not lower greenhouse gases at all.
Many have been wiped out entirely, analysis finds. 40 more rollbacks planned.
Protecting the environment should be a goal for individuals of every political and economic stripe.
We need to understand more clearly the impacts of systemic racism on our psyches. We need to understand what racism does in preventing the true human potential of people of color from being used.
We need to recognize that Donald Trump is a symptom of a more painful disease — the failure of the American experiment to uplift and protect all of its people.
Vice President Biden’s economic agenda for building back better will give Wisconsin the opportunity we really need for revitalization.
Lost in the breathless coverage of last week’s Marquette Law School Poll on the presidential race are Gov. Tony Evers sinking approval numbers — led in part by declining support for his handling of the pandemic.
We are in serious trouble and we ALL need to do better.
