If it’s true that the real source of Donald Trump’s appeal is the perception that he is a Washington “outsider,” the worst of his behavior won’t matter to his supporters.
Seven key principles for building a bilateral bloc based on mutual prosperity and shared values.
More than 43,000 families in Wisconsin’s school choice programs likely will be surprised to learn that they constitute a “threat” to the state.
Some legislators charge more than $100 to forward digital records. Is that open records?
The City of Spooner has an old railroad yard it’s been converting into a public space for the past decade. Its plan calls for restoring a roundhouse and converting it into some kind of tourism attraction. The DOT’s application fully supports this tourism project, because there are bike paths near it.
The polls, the data, the legalities. How Robin Vos hopes to triumph.
Absent from both the federal and state constitutions is any mention of “people drawing our maps,” “gubernatorial appointees,” or “nonpartisan redistricting commissions.”
The petulance of the left was summed up Tuesday night by Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s childish act.
Farming should not be relegated to distant memory in Wisconsin. Our agricultural industry is the bedrock of our state’s economy and the strong communities that we hold so dear.
After ignoring farm bankruptcies and small dairy operators’ crises during their power-sharing reign with Governor DoNothing, GOP legislative leaders Vos and Fitzgerald now want to outdo Gov. Evers who has proposed a comprehensive aid and reform package.
Lawmakers should not need personal motivation to act on our problems.
Political cartoons are meant to provoke and upset the targets of the cartoon. I intend for my cartoons to provoke debate and discussion. If howls of outrage result then I’ve done my job. If people engage in debate over my cartoon then I have succeeded.
The Trump Administration’s drug pricing plan is bad for America and especially bad for leading biohealth states like Wisconsin, and it should be rejected out of hand.
While grassroots Democrats did their part by showing up to caucus in more than 1,600 precincts across the state, aligning and realigning, counting and recounting, and at least trying to call in results, the state party screwed up. Horribly.
As their phony impeachment trial against President Trump imploded, the party’s Iowa caucus went up in flames, and then news broke of a “toxic” environment within the host committee for the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.
The Thompson Center’s Ryan Owens interview both Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices Rebecca Bradley and Rebecca Dallet.
Politicians like Assembly Speaker Robin Vos make enough in salary, per diems and benefits to spend countless hours in Madison, hire bloated staffs whose members earn healthy paychecks, and have plenty of time for partisan mischief-making.
Gov. Tony Evers has already promised to sign the legislation if it makes it to this desk. Legislative leadership should make it a priority, and lawmakers should support the effort to pass it.
$47 million net fund balance includes $16 million in investments. City officials demand they pay full cost of police services.
Instead of empty appeals to unity, a useful debate would explore the question that is most important to most Democrats: who is best prepared to attract the support that’s needed to build a winning coalition against Trump?
