If Wisconsin wants to make lasting and impactful reforms to policing and ensure that it is always and only oriented toward public safety, the state should consider extending Act 10 to police unions.
Milwaukee Police aren’t using bullets and billy clubs on protesters. But that’a low bar by which to measure improvement.
If ever there were a time when the university needed a firm hand on the wheel, this is it. The country and Wisconsin are facing a triple whammy: the virus pandemic, an economic collapse of historic proportions, and social unrest that is sweeping the nation. As a result, the university is also in a tailspin.
It was just another absurdity among the many that Trump commits virtually every day he’s in office, all aimed at not doing what’s right to help the people of the country he’s supposed to be serving, but at serving his political ambitions.
Robin Vos and Scott Fitzgerald are aghast at Gov. Tony Evers’ “secret” recording of their conversation. Evers should have disclosed it, but Vos and Fitzgerald have done a lot worse.
Gov. Tony Evers and his staff pledged to keep Badger State businesses open during the first waves of the COVID-19 outbreak. They went back on that promise within days, history shows.
What you have accomplished during this unprecedented time in our nation’s history is nothing short of miraculous.

We have seen decades and centuries of this violence because racism is a part of the institutions, structures, policies and processes of our society.
Far too many black lives, including the life of George Floyd, have been lost and harmed at the hands of bias, prejudice, and systemic racism.
Whether it’s fake news about coronavirus causes and cures, “deep fakes” or inflammatory social media surrounding Floyd’s death and related protests, many people are wondering what major tech companies can and should do to monitor social platforms for posts that are akin to crying fire in a crowded theater.
Despite President Donald Trump’s absurd and insulting suggestion that Gugino may have been a wily Antifa provocateur “who fell harder than he was pushed,” he is anything but.
If Team Evers’ excuses for making secret recordings of a meeting with Republican leadership sound familiar, it’s because they are. Think Nixon.
High rate of COVID-19 in Racine caused by “immigrant culture”, Assembly Speaker says.
For the last couple years, Sykes and his fellow Never-Trumpers appeared to be making little progress in their campaign to unseat Trump as the leader of the country. The president’s base has held firm and his approval percentages stayed in the mid to high 40s.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recently approved the 2020–2021 budget for the district. As the state’s largest school district with a budget over $1 billion and its minority students’ part of the nation’s largest racial achievement gap, the approved budget is an insight into the district’s priorities.
Milwaukee’s powerful union has long gotten its way. But this time may be different.
NASCAR, renaming the forts, and the politics of kneeling.
