The bill is simple. Local governments cannot accept private money to administer elections. If funds are offered, they must go to the Wisconsin Elections Commission who will distribute the funds across the state on a per-capita basis.
Claiming election irregularities, undermining election officials, hiring a GOP expert in smears.
Wisconsin’s Class of 2021 have used their voices to push for positive changes in their communities. They are a group who has demonstrated a unique ability to adapt and have gained many lifelong skills along the way.
Demand that Mike Pence’s book not be published the latest of many such examples.
Wisconsin’s public schools are as well-funded as they ever have been, and any suggestion to the contrary is simply dishonest.
Wisconsin cannot afford to continue the course its criminal justice system is on.
Nearly 125 years after the smallpox wars in Milwaukee and elsewhere, we’re suffering through another epidemic of willful myopia.
Texas is experiencing what Wisconsin did a decade ago, when Democrat senators fled the Badger State in a lame and cowardly attempt to stall a vote on then-Gov. Scott Walker’s bold public sector collective-bargaining reforms known as Act 10.
I thought it was time to hear from someone who has fought so hard to stay in Wisconsin’s middle class over almost two years that he doesn’t have time to follow the Capitol machinations of Republicans and Democrats.

On May 13, 1985 one of the most brutal acts of police brutality in American history occurred and you’ve probably never heard of it. A police helicopter dropped a bomb onto the roof of the MOVE home during an armed standoff. The fire it started destroyed over 60 homes in West Philadelphia and killed six adults and five child members of MOVE.
Policymakers in Washington must ensure that the recently passed No Surprises Act is implemented to protect access to lifesaving care, not insurance company profits.
In December, Attorney General Josh Kaul signed off on the Wisconsin Department of Justices’ Equity and Inclusion Plan. The state’s liberal top cop just doesn’t seem to be living up to the same standards he’s set.
The GOP counterproposal to Biden’s infrastructure plan is not a “bipartisan” gesture. It’s a scam to gut programs that care for the elderly and save the planet.
Warns against fealty to Trump, whose backers are already attacking Ryan.
The true cost of our wars is rarely considered.
