This legislation provides liability protections for schools, churches and employers, creates an Essential Visitor option for residents of nursing homes, directs improvements in the Unemployment Compensation program, creates flexibilities for hospitals to provide care and extends a number of waivers and other provisions we passed in an earlier COVID-19 relief bill.
Gov. Evers never actually laid out his opinion of the condition of Wisconsin.
Portable benefits are a sure way to give workers the coverage we need without threatening our independence.
The Trump mob that trashed the Capitol on Jan. 6 made it absolutely clear that there is a dangerous far right anti-democracy movement in America that must be stopped.
In a single Article of Impeachment, Democrats charged the President with inciting a crowd that had gathered on the National Mall to storm the U.S. Capitol. At no point in his speech, however, did President Trump call for any such thing and even urged an orderly walk to the Capitol.
The next big national project needs to be to research the vaccine that stops the Trump virus.
The Evers administration’s botched COVID-19 vaccine rollout has left Wisconsin’s third-largest county waiting for answers and some of its most vulnerable citizens pushed to the back of the vaccine line.

Gov. Tony Evers used his State of the State address Tuesday to remind Wisconsin of the rough time he faced in 2020 and to lay out some of his big-ticket, bigger government proposals. But the virtual governor, delivering the annual speech virtually, spent most of his time attacking his conservative opponents.
We need to dedicate 2021 to getting Americans to work together again, even if they don’t always agree.
Wisconsin should consider adopting policies that save taxpayers money yet leave us financially secure to respond to future public emergencies. One such policy would be to reform Wisconsin’s business interruption insurance system
I used to believe that most of us fundamentally want the same things for this country and just disagreed on how to get them.
We Wisconsinites, whether Republican or Democrat, should not forget the role our duly elected representatives played in the Jan. 6 outrage.
Senator peddled ‘malicious’ disinformation by foreign operative sanctioned by Trump Administration.
As a foreign media TV reporter that has covered the situation in Kenosha since last summer I have several observations which I would like to share as an outsider to the Kenosha media bubble.
