Musk, Trump and DOGE are reclaiming the money the left has stolen from us.
We just received another wakeup call on health care in Wisconsin, where costs are too high, public health outcomes have plummeted, and our governor has hit the snooze button.
We Energies’ proposed gas plants are not just unnecessary — they’re a long-term financial burden on ratepayers.
Legislators should work to help elderly people on fixed incomes, and the young family in their first home, afford the property taxes their policies of starving public schools and micromanaging local governments are foisting on them.
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson champions Trump from the sidelines.
For the millions struggling with electoral grief, experts recommend focusing on what you can control.
We’ll focus on the context and impact, not the chaos.
Hospitals in state and metro area have further cut the percent of revenue for this.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘America was given its colored people a bad check, marked ‘insufficient funds.” Do you believe this still holds today?
It was never about DEI. DEI was only the crumbs they allowed us to have, while simultaneously undermining any advancement with harmful policies.
President Trump is fixated on tariffs as an ultimate solution to many problems. Did he and we not learn from his tariff war in his first term that they are often counter-productive on prices and inflation?
The Constitution of the United States makes no mention of “special government employees,” and it certainly does not suggest that they should be able to roll over the Congress in a wholesale effort to turn the federal government into a billionaire’s playground.
Since January 20th, it’s obvious that the Democrats did not learn a thing from the brutal shellacking they received on November 5th, 2024.
Trump may well be justified in dialing back federal spending; the nation has run a deficit every year since 2001 and spending has grown to about 24% of gross domestic product. What’s alarming is that university research seems like a counter-productive place to start.
Liberals hated the Supreme Court and the filibuster. Now those things are among the last lines of defense against an authoritarian state.
Amid the torrent of bad news gushing from Washington like sewage from a busted pipe, there are fragments of good news fluttering around us.
Teacher turnover varies by pay, seniority and other characteristics.
We need a clear vision and a real plan for addressing the worst-in-the-nation performance of our city’s schools. The time is now for bold leadership, uncompromising vision and collective will to make difficult but necessary changes. Nothing less than Milwaukee’s very future is at stake.
Schimel must tell Musk to stay out of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Wisconsin’s future depends on it.
Failure to pass many of the proposals in the Evers budget, or at least reach effective compromises, will only perpetuate the “forever debate” in Wisconsin over the harmful “forever chemicals.”
