It relies on supply side economics. So how well is that working?

Wigderson and Scaffidi discuss the Kavanaugh nomination and Evers’ proposed education budget.

Perhaps it’s time for the sports world to tone down all the militarism and our seeming need to deify everything about war.

Biggest takeaway is that while Republicans should not panic, many need to adapt and overcome.

Walker’s plainly got some work to do if he wants to continue demolishing Wisconsin’s legacy of progressive government.

The contest Walker faces in November against his Democratic opponent is expected to be his hardest battle yet, and one not everyone is convinced he’ll win.

DOJ gag order on his employees shows the impact of ending civil service protections.

Rather than under-regulation, problems in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program likely result from too many regulations being forced on private schools.

Shocking allegations about the Supreme Court nominee’s past must be reviewed–along with evidence that he has repeatedly lied to the Senate.

There comes a time when the taxpayers have to say enough is enough to corporate greed. This is one of them.
