It would be nice to say last week was anomalous. It wasn’t. But if more of us would focus attention on news that matters, well, that would be a good step.
Our state government has no interest in making Wisconsin a leader any longer. Racing toward the bottom is just fine.
Weak disclosure requirements could allow foreign powers to set up PACs or corporations to influence U.S. elections.
It is true that in the fall of 2018, it will be voters who pick their new senators and representatives. But it is also true that the candidates they have to choose from will be the byproduct of a primary process distorted by large donors who bet too big, too soon.
Former Sen. George McGovern, the great liberal candidate for president, was a B-24 Liberator pilot in World War II. When he signed the bottom line to join the military, does Nicholson think that was somehow an insult to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Only a Democratic-led Congress will stand up for regular folks, as well as provide checks and balances.
We are proud to have recently created a truly integrated academic health system, UW Health. As, respectively, dean of the School of Medicine and Public Health and a state senator on the UW Health Authority Board, we navigated a lengthy process of integrating our hospitals and clinics with our physicians’ group. UW Health is now a more seamless organization caring for patients across the full continuum of community-based primary care to highly technical, state-of-the-art specialized services.
Improvement must be made to resolve problems revealed by an audit conducted by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take on the promise of federal infrastructure funding, just in time for summer road construction season. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association
In recent days, powerful interest groups have attacked Gordon Giampietro’s nomination to be a federal judge, largely because he holds orthodox Catholic views.
The insiders are the ones who are secretly keeping you down, and the insiders are making a profit off your misery. Apparently, you can take Nicholson out of the Democratic Party, but you can’t take the progressive rhetoric out of Nicholson.
It’s disconcerting to hear Secretary of State Doug La Follette, politically speaking the highest-ranking genetic heir of Wisconsin’s greatest governor, call a primary challenge against him a “nuisance.”
Republicans can take some comfort that their state legislative dominance is unlikely to evaporate in a single election cycle.
Beyond the Beltway, there is much for conservatives to be optimistic about. People haven’t given up on the American experiment.
When UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee released records about sexual misconduct complaints to news organizations last month, they heavily redacted the documents and refused to identify numerous employees who were found to have committed wrongdoing. Should media outlets sue to challenge those redactions, history suggests they’ll have a good shot at prevailing.
The data about California may have political and economic lessons for Wisconsin.
He’s suing to slash my authority as state superintendent, and forcing me to use attorney hostile to my views.
We are closer to peace than we have been for three generations and the world has Trump to thank for that.
They’re spurned for not fitting the liberal mold, but they stand strong.
Vindictive GOP lawmakers have made sure that campaign violations will be ignored
