We agree with Governor Tony Evers that children, regardless of their zip code, should have access to a quality education. Unfortunately, Evers’ policies do not match his rhetoric.
Like Robert M. La Follette, he is prepared to call out U.S. allies, and to object to U.S. policies that fail to uphold the human rights of all peoples.
We need to fund broadband expansion. But we need to do it in a meaningful way that reaches the communities that are unserved and disconnected.
There is a difference between individual and organizational behavior.
Senate and Assembly bills would make Wisconsin a Second Amendment sanctuary state.
Public assistance should be a trampoline, not a hammock.
It’s time to make clear that not everything has a price and that Wisconsin courts won’t be bought off.

That is not to say that racial discrimination in sentencing may not exist; it certainly may. But the Office of Research and Justice Statistics study does not produce sufficient evidence to reasonably allow one to come to that conclusion.
During Mental Health Awareness Month and beyond, it’s important that we have conversations about our mental health needs and fully understand it’s OK to not be OK.
The co-chairs of the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee say Gov. Tony Evers is only making budget-writing more difficult by refusing to talk to Republican leadership and governing by press release.
Epidemiologically speaking, herd immunity is a valid and important concept, but perhaps we should focus elsewhere.
