We need to find ways not only to increase our energy supplies but to decrease the demand side of the oil equation. This is where electric vehicles and electrified transportation can have a huge impact.
As the Republican-controlled Senate so far has not approved any of Gov. Tony Evers’ cabinet secretaries, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debate this unusual situation. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
President Trump’s gambit was so audacious, illegal and un-American that a reluctant House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to launch an impeachment inquiry against Trump. So why does it feel like Joe Biden is already a loser in this?
The latest contretemps over Trump’s telephone call to the president of Ukraine will change few minds.
How do Wisconsin’s students, teachers and schools measure up? Are taxpayers receiving a decent return on their investment?
Walker administration used flimsy interpretations of jobs reports to put a positive spin on the state’s economy.
The notion of “creaming” is pervasive among opponents of school choice. But the evidence does not support it.
Gov. Tony Evers would consider a full assault on our civil rights by having our government use its police power to confiscate firearms from law-abiding people. It is a disgraceful and tyrannical attitude from our governor.
The state-of-the-art fighter jet proposed for Madison has a long history of problems.
For the first time in at least 40 years (and possibly ever), an election in the state will take place on a Monday after Evers issued an executive order scheduling a special election to replace now-retired Republican Congressman Sean Duffy on Monday, January 27th, 2020. A primary, should one be necessary, will be held on Monday, December 30th, 2019.
The “Partnership for America’s Health Care Future” was formed by — guess who? — a consortium of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the nation’s major health insurance companies, the association of private hospitals and the American Medical Association, all of which profit immensely from the current broken system. The goal, of course, is to defeat Medicare for All and even less ambitious plans, no matter the costs.
Rep. Travis Tranel, R-Cuba City, Rep. Loren Oldenburg, R-Viroqua and I have introduced three bills to tell the Truth in Food Labeling.
Prioritizing and investing in afterschool time not only leads to better outcomes for our kids, it leads to a healthier, safer and more prosperous nation.
After record spending cuts to Wisconsin schools, Vos and the GOP-gerrymandered Wisconsin Assembly gave roughly only a paltry third of the funding increases to education requested by Gov. Tony Evers. This small increase, after the record cuts of recent years, then led Vos to feign frustration by asking, what are they doing with all that money?
Nichols sits down with Sanders to discuss whether the Democratic Party of the 21st century might again become as ideologically bold as it was in the latter stages of the New Deal era.
The most interesting fights for Wisconsin U.S. House seats often occur in the primaries. One reason for that is those jobs just don’t come open very often.
It’s time for government to stop turning patients into criminals.
Together we must listen to young people and save the planet from mad-made disasters.
Report finds Minnesota has 5 times more wind power, 16 times more solar than Wisconsin.
The strong voter concern about the climate crisis combined with the very high disapproval of Trump’s performance on climate is political dynamite. It can blow up Trump’s chances for reelection.
