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?
I encourage you to get busy creating the country you want to see. Reconnect with what inspires you and challenges you. Don’t lose the faith, but use it, to power through.
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.
The point man for Wauwatosa’s bogus ad hoc committee to address policing and systemic inequalities was caught on camera threatening a police officer. Not just basic smartphone video, but a police body camera.
Trump and the GOP-led Senate are speeding to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat before the election. If his nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, is confirmed before November 10, she will hear the ACA case and be able to rule that the ACA is unconstitutional.
As a physician, I’m extremely concerned that President Trump refuses to help tens of thousands of people in Wisconsin get health care after they’d lost their insurance because they were laid off during the COVID-19 recession, itself the result of the Trump administration’s poor planning and preparation.
Canada has six times more people than our state, but a much lower rate of new cases.
I don’t know what it is about us Wisconsinites. We have this history of electing people to high public office who become examples for the nation.
This past week, Jackson State University named Sanders as their head football coach. For many, this may not seem like much; but for Historically Black College alumni across the globe, this was epic news.
Though the Green Party and Kanye West wanted onto Wisconsin’s presidential ballot, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider how conservative Supreme Court newcomer Brian Hagedorn bucked party politics in a high court decision that could help Joe Biden.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing felt like a death in the family. Only a wave election for Democrats including Donald Trump’s defeat by Joe Biden can bring back the light.
Why admit that mask wearing can help in this fight when you can make a political issue out of it?
