City has 8 cameras per 1,000 people, more than 28 of 39 large cities studied.

A $15 minimum wage isn’t just morally right — it’s also good economics and good politics.

It censors testimony from physicians on early treatments for COVID-19 patients.

All we need do is to watch the GOP legislators at work to understand how, like their hero Trump, they really don’t want government to work.

I urge Wisconsin Republicans to use their voices to put their representatives on notice and in check; if we are ever to see an end to this pandemic and its gruesome economic effects, your leaders need to get on board.

What’s concerning to me and many of my constituents is that the Vaccine Distribution Subcommittee recommended that incarcerated individuals should be next in line for their vaccinations. This choice means the Evers administration would prioritize prisoners, 68% of whom committed violent crimes, to be vaccinated likely before their victims.

David Leonhardt of the New York Times just reported that the vaccines now on the market or coming to market are even better than expected.

Businesses offering good jobs having trouble finding employees.

No one in Wisconsin should have to put their lives at risk to attend a public meeting.
Gov. Tony Evers will introduce a two-year budget plan on Feb. 16 as state tax revenue estimates soar to $1.2 billion more than what Evers’ administration had expected just two months ago. Where do you think extra tax money should

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos should reconsider the human toll from ending universal masking, especially with increasingly contagious virus variants.

Total deaths and total new cases both rose precipitously in the months immediately following Governor Evers’ order, and even taking the normal seasonal spike in fall out of the equation, it appears that Wisconsin may have actually been battling COVID-19 more effectively before the mandate went into effect.

While health and Milwaukee leaders blame each other, they seem to agree that the glacial pace of getting shots into arms begins at the top — Gov. Tony Evers and his administration’s many failures in moving the life-saving vaccines.

They’d rather be beholden to a narcissistic and fascist politician than the Constitution of the United States.
