Wigderson and Scaffidi discuss the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court and whether Gov. Scott Walker is really behind in the guv’s race.
Problems may go back a decade and mayor deserves much blame, some alderman say.
Polls from all sources over the past months have underscored the dread, and even alarm that voters are feeling about tariffs. The tariffs that the Trump White House have placed on a number of products ranging across many countries have not only made headlines, but for some companies created shaky bottom lines.
Because the GOP has cast its lot so thoroughly with Trump, he has succeeded in a remarkably short period in moving the window of acceptability in our politics, especially on the right. As a result, the rules of the game have changed in ways that are still hard to grasp, as conservatives accept behaviors and ideological shifts that would have been unacceptable a few years ago.
The attorney general of Wisconsin is an all-in Trump man who refers to his office as “a strong partner” with the Trump administration.
In the interests of Wisconsin’s “homeland security,” our governor should demand that all Wisconsin Guard members remain in Wisconsin.
While the UW’s leadership is working to solve the perennial diversity problem with ambitious and expensive recruitment programs, there are many smaller efforts that go unnoticed, but might just turn out to be as effective in the long run.
Ford came across as credible, emphatic and “nobody’s pawn”. Kavanaugh’s denial was fiery, partisan and unhinged. Gone was any pretense of judicial demeanor.
Could political reforms improve the state and national political system?
Vote Republican. We’re accomplishing too much to turn back now!
Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate Leah Vukmir flew to Washington on the eve of Thursday’s hearing and, before either Dr. Ford or Kavanaugh had testified, joined a rally calling for rapid confirmation of the nominee.
Public and private campuses in Wisconsin are finding ways to attract and better educate students, advance research priorities and assist businesses with problems to solve. It’s a trend that can help the state and beyond.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen and Chvala, handicap the attorney general’s race between incumbent Republican Brad Schimel and Dem challenger Josh Kaul. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
We are told we need to step outside our bubble, outside our tribe, and listen to those with whom we disagree. The future of democracy, we’re told, might depend on it. But that can be an awfully tall order.
After a day of public hearings, one thing is clear: there is no evidence that Judge Brett Kavanaugh has committed the crimes of which he has been accused.
From what this nation has witnessed only one conclusion can be reached. Christine Blasey Ford should be believed.
If Brett Kavanaugh is made a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, we’ll all be living with the Mitch McConnell court–not the Trump court or the John Roberts court, or anyone else’s court.
Trump and Walker plans let health insurers end coverage of pre-existing conditions, sell junk policies.
A representative Wisconsin family of four in Wisconsin has seen income grow by 13.1 percent in real terms, and 14.3 percent after accounting for state taxes.
In November around the state, virtually all the established GOP incumbents in the legislature are being seriously challenged and not just on anti-Trump grounds or anti-GOP state machinery grounds, though those factors are weaved in.
