One would think the most well-known civil rights group in the country — the American Civil Liberties Union — would be busily fighting the #EversEdicts. Instead, in Wisconsin, where civil rights have been trampled at lightening speed, the Badger State branch of the ACLU has been completely MIA.
Other state legislatures and governors have already allocated hundreds of millions to support hospitals and health care providers. I want to make sure our community hospitals survive. The people on the front lines deserve our support. We must make them a priority.
Highway funding, which relies on the gas tax, will be hard hit as fuel sales decline
It is certain that with job losses and crashing incomes, hunger will deepen in America this year.
After the chaotic Wisconsin spring election April 7, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, had to wait nearly a week to finally discuss the major result: a liberal judge toppling the conservative incumbent for a seat on the state Supreme Court.
On the newest episode of “Battleground Wisconsin Now,” Edge Messaging LLC President Brian Fraley and Cap Times Opinion Editor Jessie Opoien discuss the initial results of the spring election and state legislation to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
How do you rate the management of the April 7 spring election?
Beyond the candidates, what was the election about, who were the other winners and losers?
Kelly sided with the view that reigning in the courts from ‘liberalism’ is a positive outcome, but never seemed to recognize that allowing conservatives license to use ‘original intent’ can also be viewed as a weapon when used by justices.
This was voter suppression pure and simple and it was perpetrated by Republicans and Democrats alike.
The governor’s halting strategy for the April election frustrated even some of his allies.

Whether through incompetence or malice, he has engaged in unprecedented oppression and laid waste to the state’s economy. The Legislature must step in, rein in the governor’s mad romp, and provide the people of Wisconsin a reasonable plan to combat coronavirus.
Whole series of executive actions and programs by Gov. Evers. Nothing by state Legislature.
As earlier dire pandemic projections improve, restive lawmakers and business leaders insist the social-distancing cure for the coronavirus may be deadlier than the disease — at least for Wisconsin’s failing economic health.
The only way to get much needed financial assistance into the hands of Wisconsinites faster is to repeal the one-week waiting period for UI benefits.
Wisconsin did not hit 22,000 positive cases of coronavirus nor did it reach 440-1,500 deaths on April 8th, as DHS Secretary-Designee Andrea Palm predicted on March 24th.
While Americans are preoccupied with the coronavirus, we still need to be aware of what this disastrous Trump administration is doing to the country.
Wisconsin might have just decided the November election for Trump at the expense of its own citizens’ lives.
