Giving the people legislative power is antithetical to America’s founding principles. The U.S. Constitution’s framers despised this sort of direct democracy, as they feared that it would empower a “tyranny of the majority.”
Resistance will look different in 2024 than in 2016. After 2016, there were so many people looking to get involved and start organizing, some for the first time in their lives. But this time feels different. People are exhausted.
Lower nicotine levels leads to more people quitting smoking, which leads to massive health benefits and lower federal spending.
Has the crime rate gone up or down in Milwaukee and nationally?
Despite vast wealth it closed pediatric clinic on 29th and Clark.

Gov. Tony Evers is once again floating a plan to create an initiative-referendum system for Wisconsin. It’s a bad idea.
Scott Walker’s infamous Act 10 was a highly partisan political bill that has done enormous damage to Wisconsin’s economy and exacerbated the hollowing out of our middle class.

Too many vital services are starved for cash.
Effective government begins with districts that reflect real communities, yet Wisconsin’s maps still fall short of this basic standard.
Carter secured the nomination and the presidency — with just enough votes from the farmers and smalltown people of Grant, Richland, Vernon and other Wisconsin counties that gave a last-minute Democratic primary assist to the peanut farmer from Georgia.
Carter was the first president to stress having a Cabinet, judges, and other government nominees that “looked like America.”
If Donald Trump pardons the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who heeded his call to “fight like hell or we won’t have a country any more” he will be ripping the bandage off a wound still suppurating.
But why pay the bills when his only purpose for seeking another term in the White House is to fleece the taxpayers.
