Lorin Robinson, who has deep roots in these parts. He has been studying and writing about global warming for a long time — and he says it’s a done deal, and we’re screwed.
For a couple of decades climate deniers said climate change wasn’t happening at all. Then they said it was, but it wasn’t human caused, just a natural cycle. Now they say it’s real, but it’s too late to do anything about it — never mind we didn’t do something when we could have, mostly because of them.
Surplus needs to be considered one-time money.
Failure is not an option. Even under Trump, 7 states expanded Medicaid because of bipartisan voter support. It’s what most Wisconsin voters want.
Wisconsin’s education test scores and the legacy of state intervention.
Direct democracy is the surest route to tyranny, the latest attempt by the left to subvert representative democracy. Evers’s ballot initiative proposal would erode stability, squash deliberation, crumble our system of checks and balances, and elevate radical formulations of policy into special-interest impulse-driven elections.
Last month, as most readers are aware, a school shooting occurred right here in Madison. This resulted in a horrifying murder of a student and teacher, physical harm to others, and countless mental health challenges rippling throughout the community.
To serve my new district, I am excited to be appointed again as the ranking member of the Committee on Children and Families and the Committee on Tourism. I will also serve in a new role on the Committee on Agriculture.
I’m an anti-Trump fiscal conservative — and I’d love to see anyone in MAGA world actually cut spending.
Allowing in more immigrants, skilled and unskilled, would not just create jobs. It could increase tax revenue, help finance Social Security, bring new home buyers, and improve the business environment. Every business sector in every state needs workers!
The late president celebrated the impact and influence of the song, which decries war, nationalism, and the excesses of capitalism.
We need measurable goals to make Milwaukee and Wisconsin better this year.
Overshadowed by the Trump trauma was the fact that Wisconsin Democrats gained 10 seats in the state Assembly and four in the state Senate.
President-elect Donald Trump and his team are putting on a master class during the transition. The rollout of the Cabinet was well done. His team is filling political appointee positions.
Trump’s obsession with claiming Greenland and its people for the US is just a new version of the same old imperialist story.
The bitter and caustic politics that have smeared the nation since 2016 make much of what we heard in the national funeral seem ancient. That is truly sad.
Observers of initiative process in California, Michigan point out problems with process embraced by Evers.
If you don’t have children or are a parent with older children, you probably don’t realize how expensive childcare has become in Wisconsin.
Low-income workers in 21 states got a pay raise on New Year’s Day last week, but those who live in Wisconsin weren’t among them.
Leading issues in the Wisconsin conservation community for 2025 include potential license fee increases and legislation on wake-enhanced boating.
