Once again Vos and Fitzgerald try to scapegoat Milwaukee.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald is extending his party’s assault on Gov. Evers’ veto powers by targeting money that might be spent on Milwaukee city rail, which Republicans have been sand-bagging forever.

Myths about incarceration causes preventing real discussion of prison population reduction problems.

The transition back to civilian life is filled with obstacles large and small. And just as we took care of each other in combat, I believe veterans have a duty to make sure their fellow service members don’t get left behind as they reintegrate into society.

Many assume legislators are on summer break after passing the budget, and I can’t help but wonder why. After all, families are still struggling to make ends meet, thousands of us are still waiting for affordable health care and many public schools continue to lack much needed resources.

President Trump’s July 12 speech in Milwaukee reminded us that no matter what flashy issue dominates political headlines at any given moment, we need to continue to keep focus on how to make our economy stronger.

I hope everyone listens to Mueller’s House testimony. Yet don’t expect him to draw a simple road map for the unthinking.

U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher wants to be seen as a reasonable Republican who is not as bigoted as the president, but he refuses to actually stand up to the president.

It was another lesson as to why government is essential in our lives, and the ones we pay to do this work are most deserving of our deep appreciation.
