It’s a Rorschach test, the shootings of those Minnesota state legislators and their spouses. Over-heated conspiracists are grasping at whatever straws they can find (some of them plastic) to prove that the killer was an unholy warrior against their version of truth and justice.
Right-wing influencers marred Hortman’s death and smeared Walz on a pile of lies.
Many people in my orbit are genuinely concerned about making it easier and easier for developers to ignore homeowners in the build-everywhere frenzy that has characterized recent city debates.
The attacks in Minnesota must not become just another headline. They must be a line in the sand. A moment to say: enough. We will not surrender our nation’s better angels to its worst instincts. Not today. Not ever.
Wisconsin must take the lead in enforcing transparency on pricing information for common hospital procedures.
Now, alone among 10 states that didn’t expand Medicaid, Wisconsin has no gap between eligibility for Medicaid and for Obamacare exchanges. That’s why estimates find that most Wisconsinites who’d be moved to Medicaid if the state expanded eligibility up the income scale already are covered.
People want health care that’s there when they need it, that doesn’t bankrupt them, and that doesn’t force them to navigate a labyrinth of paperwork.
Trump and congressional Republicans are determined to eliminate food assistance programs.
Seniors, people with disabilities, opt for more accessible ‘No Kings’ rally in Madison.
No Kings/Madison WI was impressive. It’s the bandwagon effect. Says, Hey! We could prevail! We doubt any anti-Trump demonstration anywhere in the country showed stronger, per capita. These people vote!
King speaks to us still, reminding us that to be effective, protest needs to reach across social boundaries and engender sympathy, that skillful protesters don’t permit themselves to be baited into alienating behavior, don’t waste energy trying to one-up each other.
Safe Roads Save Lives Act promotes public transparency and accountability while prioritizing traffic safety.
While Baldwin Blames Kennedy: MPS’ lead problem is an MPS problem that MPS took responsibility for causing and that is being handled by MPS.
Wisconsin must follow Maryland’s lead and codify student board representation through state legislation.
So guys, here’s a few things my father taught me that apparently a lot of younger guys didn’t have the opportunity to learn.
Charlie McGrath was a salesman in debt half his life and never able to buy us the clothes, shoes and gadgets our friends from smaller families had. But he gave to each of us, unselfishly, something way more valuable: himself.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the FBI’s arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who is facing felony charges over accusations she helped an undocumented immigrant attempt to evade arrest by federal immigration officials. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
As nearby states reform, Wisconsin clings to licensure requirements that add little value.
The law says agendas must be “reasonably specific.”
Trump’s parade Pinterest board seems to be emulating an aesthetic that is part Putin, part Kim Jong Un, with a little young Mussolini mustache twirl.
