The WisOpinions Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the performance of the Wisconsin congressional delegation following the Capitol riot and look ahead to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
In a wide-ranging conversation this week, he reflected on his Kenosha report, on his reaction to the riot in Washington, D.C., and how he sees race as central to both.
This legislation provides liability protections for schools, churches and employers, creates an Essential Visitor option for residents of nursing homes, directs improvements in the Unemployment Compensation program, creates flexibilities for hospitals to provide care and extends a number of waivers and other provisions we passed in an earlier COVID-19 relief bill.
Gov. Evers never actually laid out his opinion of the condition of Wisconsin.
Portable benefits are a sure way to give workers the coverage we need without threatening our independence.
The Trump mob that trashed the Capitol on Jan. 6 made it absolutely clear that there is a dangerous far right anti-democracy movement in America that must be stopped.
In a single Article of Impeachment, Democrats charged the President with inciting a crowd that had gathered on the National Mall to storm the U.S. Capitol. At no point in his speech, however, did President Trump call for any such thing and even urged an orderly walk to the Capitol.
The next big national project needs to be to research the vaccine that stops the Trump virus.
The Evers administration’s botched COVID-19 vaccine rollout has left Wisconsin’s third-largest county waiting for answers and some of its most vulnerable citizens pushed to the back of the vaccine line.
Like many Wisconsinites, I’m shocked, angry and saddened. But I also have faith in the resiliency of our democracy and the American people.
In wake of this tragedy, failing the president’s resignation, a swift and strong censure from Congress is the most prudent path forward.
The Grand Old Party is not so grand anymore.
In the face of monumental problems and challenges facing us in the next decades, we need good governance more than ever. What is frightening about our stark divisions is the depth of belief in fraud and conspiracy.
It will cause an even greater reduction in our already declining law enforcement numbers, lead to harassing lawsuits that could bankrupt counties and municipalities, and make cops hesitant to do their jobs effectively.
This pandemic has exposed many problems about America’s health care system including just how incredibly unequal it is.
Gov. Tony Evers used his State of the State address Tuesday to remind Wisconsin of the rough time he faced in 2020 and to lay out some of his big-ticket, bigger government proposals. But the virtual governor, delivering the annual speech virtually, spent most of his time attacking his conservative opponents.
We need to dedicate 2021 to getting Americans to work together again, even if they don’t always agree.
Wisconsin should consider adopting policies that save taxpayers money yet leave us financially secure to respond to future public emergencies. One such policy would be to reform Wisconsin’s business interruption insurance system
I used to believe that most of us fundamentally want the same things for this country and just disagreed on how to get them.
We Wisconsinites, whether Republican or Democrat, should not forget the role our duly elected representatives played in the Jan. 6 outrage.
