We are right in the middle of two “wars” – one the biggest public health battle in the history of the state, the other a deep fiscal crisis for the state and therefore for the university, too. Tommy is fully engaged in both monumental crises. It’s just not a good time to bring in a newcomer.
On Saturday morning the Democratic-led House passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) 219-212 along party lines.
The time is now to reform Wisconsin’s antiquated emergency-powers laws and provide meaningful protections for our basic freedoms.
Pocan called out the cruelty and extremism that was on display during the debate over the Equality Act.
Every American should have confidence that their vote matters and is counted. Right now, there are many Americans, and many Wisconsinites, who do not believe this.
Like our own Ron Johnson, Graham has become unhinged and nothing short of farcical in his allegiance to Trump and his cult.
Excessive loan forgiveness will undoubtedly drive up the cost of college even more and force more people to borrow against their future with federal loans.
One Biden he can start to restore the foundations of democracy is to grant pardons to deserving people.

We applaud the Evers Administration for including critical programs and resources that recognize we don’t have to choose between profitable farms and clean water, thriving rural communities and healthy soils, or productive agriculture and biodiversity.
The factions and fissures in the Republican Party have erupted into deeply personal attacks. While they are amusing to watch from this side of the aisle, we also need to be cognizant that a strong two-party system does make our nation stronger.
One thing has become crystal clear: America has one political party that’s downright scary. And growing scarier by the day, posing a major threat to the country’s health and welfare. Problem is, the U.S. has another party that’s scared. That makes a big mess far harder to clean up.
