About the time you think that our beleaguered country is so partisan that nothing positive can come out of our capital, along comes a major piece of environmental legislation that shows what is possible if our politicians will holster their six-shooters.
The data is alarming. As are the many allies of the virus.
The City of Racine City Hall Annex has been transformed into a laboratory where city employees work with a highly contagious virus that has killed nearly 200,000 people in the U.S. — more than 1,200 in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin GOP U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher, California Democratic U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna and others in Congress have outlined a vision through the Endless Frontier Act. Let’s see if our fractured political times can bring it into sharper focus.
New Forbes 400 includes eight Wisconsinites, led by John Menard, with Diane Hendricks not far behind.
Within two hours of the court’s injunction, Abundant Life Christian School announced that all kids will have the opportunity to be back in the school building on Monday,” said Chris Truitt, a parent from DeForest. “We are absolutely thrilled.”
In 2016, we saw that inadequate access to photo ID led to barriers to the ballot for thousands of Wisconsinites; particularly for Wisconsinites of color, college students, older voters and people with travel-limiting disabilities. Access is particularly challenging for many people in rural areas, which typically provide limited hours and zero access to public transit. These challenges are all amplified under COVID-19.
If the President wants to win reelection, his priority should be to end the trade war and the tariffs that are crushing American businesses and farms.
Business advocates are breathing a sigh of relief following the threat of public disclosures that could have been a huge liability issue for job creators, and a significant privacy concern for employees.
“It didn’t have to be this bad. It really didn’t,” Holmgren said. “And now we find out in the last couple months, he knew all along. The president knew how bad it was and he kept it from the American people. Not only did he keep it from us, but then he didn’t take action. He knew, and he did not take action.”
The Elections Commission acted unlawfully when it refused to validate 1,834 signatures that it should have presumed to be valid.
Democrats wanted to stop a repeat of the 2016 election. That’s when Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 31,072 votes, taking many of those votes from Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump was not the first president to declare, “My first duty as president is to protect the American people.” But no president has abandoned that duty so deliberately as Donald Trump.
The coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. hard, and the Trump Administration stepped up to protect the American people.
Why marginalized communities feel a collective guilt in America.

Today, the agendas of both political parties are shaped at the national level rather than locally. Accordingly, representative democracy in America and in many of its states is seriously ill.
As the population of Wisconsin ages and parents have fewer children, enrollment in K-12 schools in Wisconsin is on the decline. In fact, in the 2018-2019 school year, there were approximately 5,000 fewer students starting kindergarten than were in 8th grade in Wisconsin public schools. Students who finished kindergarten in 2019 will be graduating high school in 2031.
The silent epidemic of rapid adultification of Black males.
The Washington Post’s Woodward will close out the 2020 edition of Idea Fest with a special discussion of his new book, “Rage.”
