As promised, he’s upholding the law as written. So why are right wingers so angry?

These lawsuits were just a vehicle for him to put the squeeze on his supporters because he’s gonna need as much cash as possible to pay off all his campaign debts and to fund a legal defense against all the civil and criminal lawsuits he will be facing on January 21st.

Last week, Assembly Republicans released a package of legislation to address the challenges presented by COVID-19. While the package is fairly broad, there are a few policies that I believe are critical.

We don’t need a Capitol Christmas tree or “super-spreader” federal holiday parties. We need elected officials that are going to do what’s needed to ensure our residents can eat, work, access medical care, worship safely and keep a roof over their heads.

Wisconsin Democratic Congressman Mark Pocan and GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos showed real leadership in doing a joint PSA for the Stop the COVID Spread coalition.

State Rep. Mark Born steps into a leadership role on the Legislature’s powerful budget-writing committee during some of the most challenging times the state has ever faced.

Ron Johnson’s departure from the U.S. Senate could give President Joe Biden his 50th vote in the Senate.

More than 75 protests and lots of misunderstandings. How city officials have responded.

The Trump campaign’s lawsuit to invalidate thousands of Wisconsin votes has the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debating the state Supreme Court’s decision to reject immediate consideration of the suit and possible future court action on voting regulations.

Parisi is neither bombastic nor particularly self-aggrandizing, though he could choose to play it differently given the scope of his influence.

We need to use our significant surplus in Medicaid funds to continue testing, tracing and COVID-19 operations in January.

Hagedorn’s adherence to the written word of the law has already drawn scorn from some Republicans complaining he’s a “traitor” or worse.

Now is not the time to get sick. We are so close to finally having a solution to battling COVID-19. Let’s see this through together without any more unnecessary deaths from this horrible disease.

Social distancing and wearing masks saves real peoples’ lives, speeds us to a better economic future, relieves the burdens on exhausted health care workers.

Kohler Co. plan, okayed under Gov. Walker is bad precedent and bad for environment.

Madison Ald. Shiva Bidar, who twice served as president on the Common Council, announced Monday that she will not seek another term in next spring’s municipal election.

Wisconsin needs a state budget that matches the moment. The moment demands bold action to start reversing the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands, cure what ails our sick health care system, arrest climate catastrophe, and come to terms with chronic and systemic injustices in our society.

While there may be reasons to be reticent about passing the entire package, the bill includes a number of key provisions that warrant consideration in some form.

Republicans want 10 more years of gerrymandering. To do this they would hand all power to state Supreme Court.

The 2020 election in Wisconsin is over, the results are certified, and the outcome is clear: Joe Biden won the Badger State, and he will be the next President of the United States. However, the battle for control of the U.S. Senate isn’t over yet, and it is critical that Wisconsin Republicans move on from our past defeat and instead focus on the potential victories ahead of us.
