A lot of high-fives were being exchanged among Republican campaign donors a couple of weeks ago when the U.S. Supreme Court decided that public employees couldn’t be required to pay their fair share of union costs to win them pay raises, fringe benefits and job safety.
Roys says, “As governor, I will seek immediate repeal of the Criminal Abortion Ban, and I will pardon any provider charged under the ban.”
Trump’s 30 percent tariff on Canadian paper has boosted newsprint costs.
Roggensack’s patently political decision gives police and fire unions more power over city pension fund.
This month marks a significant expansion for our campus as Cooperative Extension, Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television, UW-Extension Conference Centers and Mailing Services, and the Department of Labor Education all become part of UW-Madison. These units together will bring 958 new employees into UW-Madison, and will add $103 million to UW-Madison’s budget.
Naming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the least Trumpiest thing Trump has done so far.
The future of the Roe decision along with the Affordable Care Act will be the defining issues in this confirmation fight. It will be long, harsh, and at times maddening.
Kavanaugh has been an open advocate for precisely the sort of imperial presidency that the founders of the American experiment feared—and that Donald Trump relishes.
Bryce has been arrested nine times. It takes a special kind of failure to accumulate that kind of record. If you know anybody who comes close to that record, you probably don’t think, “He should run for public office.”
The iron law of supply and demand still rules – and for the time being that law works in favor of Wisconsin’s soybean farmers – if they know how to play their cards.
Contrary to the “criminal justice reform” narrative about “mass incarceration,” it’s actually hard to get a stiff prison sentence.
America’s economy is growing in many ways, but the Trump-Harley dispute shows how the economy could suffer if companies are forced by government to make choices they would rather not make.
Trump and Walker are on the same page, and regular folks who voted for them are getting shafted.
The left’s #Resistance movement today against all things Trump is what big labor brought the Badger State seven years ago when “progressives” stomped all over civility in a campaign to topple Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
As one who lived through the civil rights marches and rallies of the early 1960s and the Vietnam War protests later that decade and into the ’70s, I need to applaud New York University history professor Thomas Sugrue for setting the record straight.
On Friday afternoon, Bryce found himself answering questions about a CNN report headlined: “Democrat running to replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin has history of arrests, including driving under the influence.”

I wholeheartedly agree and applaud what appears to be a flood of passionate younger candidates, especially women and people of color. And best wishes to candidates whose districts will support ardently progressive positions, which includes Wisconsin’s 2nd CD. What I reject is the suggestion that this generational shift should also bring ever more extreme policy prescriptions in races throughout the nation.
The welcome John McAdams victory is not a David v. Goliath story. It is instead a reminder of the pivotal role of public interest law firms in fighting for key principles — in this case the rights of an individual who otherwise would have been smothered by the full legal and political clout of Marquette University.
Harley Davidson bosses say that Trump tariffs are forcing them to make their iconic American product overseas. Union workers are not so sure.
