In the 2024 election, we had, for the first time in a dozen years, a fair election for the state Legislature. However, Wisconsin’s eight congressional districts are still rigged to deny voters competitive elections.
FDR and Donald J. Trump are after the same outcome: more American workers getting paid more money to spend. FDR used the tools of the U.S. government; DJT is using tariffs. History could be writing about these two presidents as the strangest roommates since Oscar and Felix in the “Odd Couple.”
The summer season in Washington has turned into truly the Looney Tunes. We need to seriously ask what has become of actual old-fashioned leadership from both the White House and Congress?
At what point do we stop calling the ‘Late Show’ cancelation “just a business decision” and start calling it slow, strategic silencing of critics?

People already know who Evers is and threatening he is not. He comes off like the school principal he once was.
Fair maps advocates and pro-democracy activists are looking to bring a new redistricting process to the state of Wisconsin, where the process is no longer in the hands of the very politicians who’d be running for office on those maps.
While not perfect, the Big Beautiful Bill delivers strong wins for dairy, grain, livestock, conservation and trade—core components of Wisconsin’s agricultural economy.
We are morally obligated to be there for our veterans, especially those who are struggling to find and keep a roof over their heads. We must rise above the politics and do what’s right, right now.
Van Orden has pivoted from denouncing Biden’s “endless war” to endorsing Trump’s policy reversal.
