Short-term profits for hedge funds at the expense of iconic news operations or the needs of news consumers are appalling. We need regulations to stop and undo the consolidation of our news, (be it radio, newspapers, or broadcast television), into the hands of fewer and fewer people.
The growing pressure to reopen Madison schools has been successful: Superintendent Carlton Jenkins has announced that reopening will start March 9, with no guarantee that teachers can be vaccinated by then.
It’s the best way to assure good services and fiscal stability for Milwaukee.
Gov. Tony Evers rolled out a massive, $91 billion biennial budget plan Tuesday evening that significantly increases spending, dramatically expands the size of state government and hits taxpayers where it hurts.
The second impeachment trial is in the books, with the former president acquitted of anti-American activities. But, in the court of public opinion, Donald Trump came out as far from innocent and highly guilty of conduct unbecoming the office of the president.
With regard to U.S.-Cuba policy, President Joe Biden should act decisively — even to the point of signing an executive order suspending all sanctions on Cuba unilaterally.
Meet the folks who wanted to overturn Wisconsin’s election.
Convicted criminals shouldn’t receive priority treatment for the COVID-19 vaccine ahead of anyone – especially not ahead of hardworking Wisconsinites who are high risk due to preexisting conditions.

At 7 p.m., Gov. Tony Evers will give his 2021-2023 budget address and announce his proposed biennium budget for the state of Wisconsin. To get ready for the evening, IRG gives you 5 things you need to know to access and analyze the budget.
The Biden administration is escalating public health actions: mask wearing on federal property and interstate travel-public transportation, using the Defense Production Act to ramp up U.S. production of PPE and vaccines, more testing, steps to assure health equity, guidelines on reopening schools and treatment research.

Our Founders’ worst nightmare was actually what Democrats are doing right now: Using one branch of government to usurp the constitutional authority of another in an attempt to unlawfully impose govt sanctions on a private citizen
Johnson went on Fox News and claimed that it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, not his buddy Donald Trump, who caused the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Even the Fox News host seemed flabbergasted.
