Alter the structure and avoid another debacle.

A conservative and Republican writer offers a scathing inside look. Not pretty.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin is warning the Madison city clerk that they will be closely watching a second ballot harvesting event this weekend and that the party continues to “explore” the legal concerns the “Democracy in the Park” initiative has raised.

In a world full of manipulation and misinformation we need to arm our children with the tools to know what is fact and what is fiction.

Swedish approach has been adopted by 35 cities in U.S. Why not Milwaukee?

Our report in fact conveys a great deal of newly uncovered information.

There are still undecided voters, even in Washington, Ozaukee and Waukesha counties, among the reddest and most committed in country. You would have to think that the Trump’s massive business losses, the resulting coverup and the whopping tax avoidance would be a tipping factor for some of them.

A report by the nation’s top experts in address verification, including the official licensee of the U.S. Postal Service, says that at least 39,722 “movers” did not move.

The fact that a a judge in Dane County’s liberal court system issued an injunction may be an indicator that MMSD went too far in its policy or guidance.

The new song by Amanda Shires and her husband, Jason Isbell, captures the pain of the decision and supports those who have to make it. Wisconsin, unfortunately, is among many states whose laws provide no such support.

“The necessary solution is to create stronger incentives for good behavior and laws against bad behavior,” writes Binyamin Applebaum.

Republican legislators condemn Evers’ mask mandate, but won’t override it as the law allows. Why?

Our parents’ generation defended democracy in the 1940s and ’50s. The coming weeks and months may be the crucible that similarly tests our own patriotism.

The Republican Party of Waukesha County, upon which the GOP relied for their success in the state, has sunk into the sewer of associating itself with Michelle Malkin and Malkin-wannabe Vicki McKenna.

It should come as no surprise that Madison’s city attorney told Republicans to pound sand after GOP legislative leadership warned the city to cease its shady absentee ballot collection events.

Why their economic future matters for our democracy.

As public and private land managers are influenced to opt for prairie/savanna restoration, there is an interesting perspective to add: Forests are OK, too.

Instead of a standing ovation, such as Wendy Rittenhouse received at the Republican Women of Waukesha County event, she should be condemned as a terrible mother.

On the 65th anniversary of the acquittal of the men who murdered 14-year-old Emmett “Bobo” Till, Black America suffered another punch to the gut by a justice system that too seldom provides anything approximating justice when the victim is Black. The officers who killed Breonna Taylor will not be held accountable.
