If Vos really believes the governor is acting in an unconstitutional manner, the legislature can do something about it – and they have an obligation to do so.

Weaknesses in the election system, whether due to voter fraud, mail-in ballot issues, or inaccurate voter rolls, will undermine confidence in the results and threaten the ideals and institutions of American exceptionalism.

What did we learn from new Marquette Poll? Not a lot. But how about those Rojo numbers?

With his vote, he can ensure the 2020 election and the voice of Wisconsinites will be a driving factor in selecting our next Supreme Court justice.

Now that their leader, Donald Trump, has — through his own purposeful carelessness — come down with COVID-19, one can only hope that Wisconsin Republicans will get serious about this deadly disease, too.

Trump echoes Jim Jones by declaring “Don’t Be Afraid of Covid.”

Governor Evers probably could have made it a little less obvious. By scheduling an end to an emergency order limiting bar and restaurant capacity three days after Election Day, he made it abundantly clear that Wisconsin could have its social life back as soon as he was sure it voted the right way.

Gov. Tony Evers and his power-grabbing health chief issued yet another emergency order Tuesday— this time limiting public gatherings to no more than 25 percent capacity.

Other states with full-time legislators have met 18 times more frequently than in Wisconsin.

Is it too much to ask Vining to call for peace before the next round of rioting and looting strikes her constituents?

Barrett was nominated with the expectation that she would adhere to her personal beliefs about abortion, rather than follow well-established precedent.

Exposed to Sen. Ron Johnson who tested positive, but won’t wear mask in court. Attorneys fear risk for themselves and clients.

I hope he recovers quickly — and then loses overwhelmingly.

Trump and Johnson have downplayed the risk of coronavirus from the beginning.

Yeah, he said it. Doesn’t matter how many times you pressed rewind, the words were clear as day, “Stand back and stand by.” This statement, from Donald Trump, during the first 2020 presidential debate has hung around like the nooses of the old south. Swinging, from the POTUS’s mouth, was the unspoken nod to white supremacy.

Milwaukee County’s chief medical examiner told WISN 12 News the state’s pandemic death total includes more than 100 people who had COVID-19 but died primarily of other causes.

The inevitable result of months of legislative inaction has arrived. What now?
