If the Wisconsin Department of Justice and these agencies and programs within DOJ are delivering results, why create a duplicative Office of Violence Prevention?
Gov. Tony Evers’ announcement of a new Wisconsin Office of Violence Prevention and his $10 million funding plan is just another example of government overreach that won’t solve the real problem. Creating another state office to tackle violence will only add more bureaucracy and waste taxpayer dollars.
It’s time to confront the never-ending use of taunts hurled at progressives and demand that right-wingers discuss the real issues involved.
Last Tuesday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg admitted Facebook “came under pressure from the Biden administration to censor certain content related to COVID-19,” and limited information about the “Hunter Biden laptop,” among other ways they had done “too much censorship.” Free speech won the day, and needs to have more victories.
An indictment of Attorney General Josh Kaul’s job performance.
Young people need love, respect, our prayers and more mental health support, while our country needs more gun control. We all need a 2025 with no shootings at schools.
Education is too important to have governors and legislators play side roles.
Over the past week, Republicans in both houses of the Wisconsin State Legislature passed common sense legislation that will give you, the voter, the ability to permanently protect your precious vote by enshrining a photo ID requirement in our state constitution.
Our bipartisan board is behind reforms that make our election process more transparent, fair to every voter across the state, and accessible to every eligible voter.
Trump’s nominee has bipartisan support but minimal management experience and rarely discussed infrastructure in his district while in Congress.
Committee recommended the legislature direct the DNR “to authorize sandhill crane hunting in Wisconsin.” This bypasses the normal decision-making by the Natural Resources Board.
There are a lot of working people in America right now banking on the assumption that the billionaires who will soon be in charge will do the right thing for them. I hope they aren’t holding their breath.
24 states allow citizen initiatives to create and pass constitutional amendments and laws.
One of the reasons current politicians drag their feet on direct democracy is that they would lose the lobby money if citizens were making policy decisions instead of them. Gun and anti-abortion lobbies would use their deep pockets to mount public media campaigns to protect their interests instead of doling it out politicians.
This year, the Wisconsin Coalition of Virtual School Families is pushing for equal opportunity and fair funding for our students. The current funding formula short changes online charter students, and even singles them out by restricting their access to extracurricular activities. In addition, the state standardized testing protocols are archaic, burdensome and unfair, and must be modernized.
The epic political strategist, policy maker and lawyer died on Jan. 8 at age 81.
Carter, who served from 1977 to 1981, embodied a set of traditional values that seem almost alien in today’s political landscape.
President Trump has the opportunity to deliver much-needed relief by harnessing his deal-making genius in expanding Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices. Doing so would save patients and taxpayers in Wisconsin and across the country billions while ensuring that life-saving medications are within reach for all Americans.
Our nation was weakened, our justice system was neutered, and the American citizens were denied a judicial process that would allow for an outcome from the illegal behavior that had been committed against them on Jan. 6th.
Now, as we face the devastating reality of a second Trump term, many are rightly talking about the need for Ben’s DNC reforms, including his proposed 57-state-and-territory strategy.
