This Nurses Week, instead of a supportive tweet or an empty proclamation honoring the work and sacrifices of nurses, we call on lawmakers to do something that nurses actually need. Pass legislation that prioritizes the health, safety and economic well-being of all working people.
If a private business requires you to wear shoes, a shirt and maybe pants, do you let your “Don’t tread on me” flag fly?
Many people will stay away from bars, restaurants and large gatherings until they feel it’s safe to return.
Gov. Tony Evers and his power-grabbing health chief are pushing rules that aim to re-close the state of Wisconsin.
Their latest mistake adds $25 million more lost to taxpayers.
On the newest episode of “Battleground Wisconsin Now,” Edge Messaging LLC President Brian Fraley and Cap Times Opinion Editor Jessie Opoien discuss the Wisconsin Supreme Court striking down the Evers administration’s stay-at-home order extension, the latest Marquette University Law School Poll and the results of the 7th CD special election.
It’s time to move forward, together, and create a steady recovery plan that is so widely-accepted and praised that the November elections will be about who gets the most credit for the achievement, not who gets the blame for failing to act.
On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court rained on the parade of increasing tyrannical decisions coming from Palm by striking down her “Safer at Home” order.
The conservatives on the court can cloak themselves in all the high use of legal parlance they desire. But there is no rational explanation for the ruling other than crass politics. The lack of mature leadership from the court now allows for chaos to ensue.
Wisconsin below most states and the entire Midwest in per-capita COVID-19 cases and deaths.
Accepting out-of-state credentials should continue after the crisis ends.
By a 20-point margin, more Wisconsinites trust Gov. Tony Evers to lead the state’s reopening than the Republican-led Wisconsin State Legislature.
The Thompson Center was joined by former governor Tommy G. Thompson and Wisconsin State Senator Fred A. Risser, the longest serving lawmaker in American history. Tommy Thompson and Senator Risser reflected on their time in office and discussed changes they bore witness to during their time in office. Each also shared their thoughts on good governance and gave some advice for up and coming leaders of the future.
Our state universities will lose a lot if we change each of them into one thing for just a few people.
A split state Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the Evers administration’s latest stay-at-home order, ruling it should’ve been issued as a rule to give lawmakers oversight of the process dictating precautions to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
I can’t understand is the absolute disregard for human life and the safety of others that so many of these self-proclaimed “patriots” proudly put on display whenever they go out in public, whether it’s to take part in a demonstration or to go to the grocery store.
While Gov. Tony Evers wants to look magnanimous by giving the impression that Wisconsin is starting to reopen, the truth is that this administration is doing everything in its power to keep the state shut down.
Taylor writes about how the Choctaw people collected $170, the equivalent of $6,000 in today’s dollars, and sent it to Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. Now, the people of Ireland have helped raise nearly $3 million dollars to help out the Navajo and Hopi tribes as they deal with COVID-19.
Attention Evers: We sacrificed; we flattened the curve. So stop moving the goal posts.
Healthy companies are the backbone of the country. With companies in a heap of trouble, some of them generations in the making, nothing works very well in America. Sens. Sanders and Warren would never acknowledge that reality.
