Almost a century ago, Milwaukee’s Sewer Socialists — socialist politicians who fought for improved infrastructure and city services in Milwaukee from the early 20th century to 1960 — worked to accomplish their own version of police defunding.
We need leaders in Washington who are committed to improving our nation’s health care system so more Americans can access the care they need. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is one of them.
Tuesday’s results weren’t the result of dissatisfaction with the state of education; they were a direct referendum on the disaster that has been Joe Biden’s presidency and the creeping radicalism that has defined it.
Democrats in Washington have bungled the past several months. And their failure to govern boldly—and effectively—has cost them dearly.
The campaign to oust four members of the Mequon-Thiensville School Board went down in defeat at the polls Tuesday, but organizers of the nationally watched grassroots effort say they will fight on for their children.
The Racine County sheriff’s recommendation of criminal charges against five Elections Commission officials are little more than a baseless, hyper-partisan attack on legal and approved election procedures made by a highly partisan elected official.
We can’t expect our kids to develop the habits of thoughtful debate or the civil give-and-take required of a functional democracy if adults can’t model those traits. Their future, and ours, depends on whether we can get our act together.
The climate crisis threatens to upend our Wisconsin way of life, whether through changes to our growing seasons, eroding coastlines or the disparate long-term health and economic effects of extreme weather.
Kleefisch says so. The only two claims of this, both in other states, involved Republicans.
Natural Resources Board chair resists further public records requests. What is he hiding?
We can’t achieve strong economic growth without substantial expansion of the labor force.
The minor deficiencies the Legislative Audit Bureau uncovered had no effect on the final election outcomes, especially at the presidential level. But they did bring up hygienic issues that need to be tended to.
I’m sure he didn’t intend to, but Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty’s research director Will Flanders let the cat out of the bag in comments he made in a recent newspaper story about supposed voting irregularities that somehow gave Joe Biden the edge in 2020.
Another Corrections employee is stepping forward to post concerns about the Evers administration’s COVID-19 testing mandate, a mandate that looks to prove costly for taxpayers and prison security.
As if we needed more evidence that the Democrats’ move to the left is going to destroy their chances in the mid-terms, we got more of it this morning.
It’s time to rename James Madison Memorial High School.
You could de-congest all the ports and unload Wisconsin’s share for super fast delivery to businesses and homes in the Badger State, but Wisconsin and our future as the climate crisis unfolds will continue to degrade until policy-makers put public trust water, air, land and wildlife first.
For those of us who cherish the beauty of our wondrous land, the weeks before Halloween came with two big treats that reversed a couple of dirty tricks from the Donald Trump administration.
All of us here in Wisconsin, on all sides of various political aisles, need to treat our state’s low reading scores like the crisis it is.
Despite the alarmingly low test scores, there appears to be little to no outrage by the media and education establishment.
