Melania is nothing like the media have portrayed, so it’s not surprising that her movie is nothing like the critics say.

A couple of Sundays ago, the New York Times’ editorial board reported that a Times analysis shows that Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.

When prior authorizations are transparent and medically grounded, everyone benefits. Patients receive treatment without harmful delays, health plans maintain oversight, and physicians can focus on what we were trained to do: care for people.

Are absentee ballots a right? Can voters sue for monetary damages if there’s a mistake?

Republicans now have a certain nominee without the headache of a bloody primary: U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, a congressman, former campground manager, and once-legislator from northwestern Wisconsin. Meanwhile, the Democrats are fighting inside their crowded clown car.

A formula for saving America

The Department of Homeland Security has changed how it responds to federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from immigrants facing deportation in a way that deprives many immigrants of their only tool for obtaining information they need to prove they deserve to remain in the country.

Last June UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin received a retention bonus of $150,000. She would have gotten $250,000 had she stayed into June of this year, but instead she’s leaving for Columbia University.

How physician-owned hospitals and cash-only providers offer a path to lower health care costs.

Organic farmland is declining. That should be of some concern whether your diet is organic or not.

Tech giants must be pressured to implement a series of protections against fraudulent user accounts and address young people’s vulnerability to sextortionists and predators at large.

Some argue that universal school meals are too expensive. But the truth is, we’re already paying for the consequences of not feeding kids properly.

Our national response to immigrant children reveals a society in moral decay.

While Minnesota is where much of the resistance has been happening, my gratitude spills beyond its borders because the resistance has been virtually everywhere ICE brutality occurs.

Congress has the power and responsibility to ensure that no president, regardless of party, becomes an unconstrained authority. However, as we examine the first year of this current administration, it’s fair to say that Trump has been allowed to run amok.

Lenders don’t respond to capped interest rates by continuing to provide them with loans out of civic duty. They respond by lending less.

The messaging from the federal government — the Department of Health and Human Services and its agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — can only be characterized as a confused mess of some existing science, cherry-picked fringe studies, unproven theories, and wishful thinking.

The question isn’t whether AI will change our lives, but how Wisconsin prepares to thrive in an AI-enabled world.

State courts are often the last line of defense when it comes to protecting our fundamental rights and freedoms and in holding those who violate the law accountable, no matter how powerful or privileged. That is why this race matters, and why I am running to be your next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice.

Bothfeld v. Wisconsin Election Commission case is an opportunity for Wisconsin to turn a new page and end minority rule at the federal level. The court should move with deliberate speed to remedy this wrong and strengthen our democracy.
