Call this “fake news” if you want, but I think if independent journalism some day disappears, we, the people, can count on getting the government we will deserve.
America is not a fascist state yet. But it could get there in a hurry.
Central to the Republican stratagem is restricting voting by groups that tend to vote Democratic: youth, minorities, the poor and disabled.
The Republican Party’s campaign against Tony Evers began minutes after he won the Democratic primary, and voters should expect to see plenty more through November given Gov. Scott Walker’s slim record of accomplishments to tout.
His stance on school choice may kick thousands of low-income Milwaukee students out of their schools.
People are tired of the con and are ready to have policy delivered by a calm, competent figure they can trust.
Beyond the vote totals, who were the other winners and losers in yesterday’s election?
He ran hard early not against Donald Trump, but Paul Ryan. And he might have peaked too soon.
The Democrats got what are probably the best possible outcomes in their own gubernatorial primary and in the Republican primary that determined who will challenge U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.
I believe that Speaker Ryan will be forever known as the family-first Speaker. For this reason, I think it is fitting that his signature achievement is a bill that will help other families by allowing them to keep more of their hard-earned money, all while growing the economy and enabling Wisconsinites to realize the American dream.
Newspapers across the United States are editorializing today in defense of freedom of the press — a necessary act at a time when Donald Trump’s disdain for the basic premises of the American experiment is most on display in his visceral reaction to journalists and journalism.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker will face Democrat Tony Evers in the Nov. 6 general election.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin will face Republican state Sen. Leah Vukmir in the Nov. 6 general election.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch,” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents after Tony Evers won the Democratic primary in the race for governor.
It will be all hands on deck as the real work now begins to defeat Governor Scott Walker.
Two former Republican presidential candidates from the Midwest sought a third term as governor, but only one still has a shot at the rare feat.
In Wisconsin’s senate primary, the GOP establishment won again. Leah Vukmir, who had the backing of the state party apparatus, beat Kevin Nicholson, who hammered her for being insufficiently supportive of President Trump in the past.
Ryan-backed candidates did well on Tuesday night. Bryan Steil, Ryan’s preferred successor, won the Republican primary to represent the outgoing speaker’s district after the midterm elections. State Sen. Leah Vukmir won her primary to take on Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., by a 10-point margin. Ryan endorsed her in June.
Despite what Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the feudal serfs of corporate capital keep claiming, Americans want strong unions. That’s the message from polling that shows more than 60 percent of voters nationwide approve of organized labor.
