Our caring culture must be grounded in valuing and respecting every person. This means that racism and discrimination have no place at the college.
Baldwin, Moore, Pocan outraged. Republican Glenn Grothman not sure.
U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie has reintroduced a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, a move he argues will increase transparency and accountability of the institution. In 2024, he introduced an even better bill—to abolish this pillar of the deep state altogether.
The former legislator and longtime superintendent of public instruction, whose real name is Herbert, regularly drops a hand-written note keeping me up to date on how he views the world and, especially, Wisconsin politics. Suffice it to say, he hasn’t changed much over the years.
Opponents of the project continue to use legal maneuvers to further stall this important project from moving forward that will allow Line 5 to continue to supply Wisconsinites with the energy we need to drive our vehicles and heat our homes.
Going green is not always as black and white as it might seem. Often there is gray among the green.
While the institutions are working on alternative energy sources and energy conservation, there’s also a serious need for the typical householder to implement a variety of measures.
While the world watches DOGE destroy wasteful spending at USAID, a rogue agency in Milwaukee might actually be worse.
I have yet to meet a parent who said, ‘We were going to stop at one, but then they repaved Main Street.’
Neighborhoods with Hispanic immigrants actually have lower rates of violent crime.
The DNC elects a new leader as it seeks to unify the party and win back working-class voters.
The new Democratic National Party chair won’t be in a position to improve the party’s fortunes either.
Our state maintains one of the largest achievement gaps between Black and white students in the nation – a crisis that demands immediate attention and action.
It’s a statewide embarrassment for our education system.
The Legislature’s failure to adequately fund public schools has led to school districts turning to referendums to meet their operational costs. Wisconsin’s legislature has not given schools enough funding to keep pace with inflation for the last 15 years.
It’s disappointing that Gov. Evers prioritizes political agendas over the safety of Wisconsin families.
Wisconsin Democrats were hoping their own Ben Wikler would be chosen chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Democrats instead elected the state chairman responsible for Tim Walz in Minnesota.
God works in mysterious ways — or, at least, Donald Trump’s God does.
The left abandons its principles as Trump embraces them
