Donald Trump is clearly unfit for the office he holds and poses an immediate threat to the safety and security of this country, which is why I support his impeachment.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on Steve Bannon and his war with the GOP establishment.
Falling enrollments at the 13 UW Colleges and mission confusion at UW Extension propelled UW President Ray Cross to embark on a reorganization of those two cornerstones of the UW System (UWS).
It appears that people who thought that Wisconsin’s strict Voter ID law would suppress eligible voters have had their suspicions confirmed.
Earlier this month at oral argument of the likely precedent-setting Wisconsin gerrymandering case, Republican justices displayed an obtuse mind-set revealing an incapacity to consider social scientific findings in determining whether a statute is unconstitutional.
It’s not about mass shootings, but about stopping the quieter deaths that happen daily.
WISCAPE Managing Director Noel Radomski offers commets, questions and ideas regarding the merger proposal and asks whether it is time for a citizen’s commission on post-secondary education.

Good government is the business of every citizen. What we do can make a difference. So although I’m leaving the platform that the Journal Sentinel has generously given me for 35 years, I’ll still do what I can along with my fellow citizens to keep a light on government.
The BDS movement exclusively targets the world’s only Jewish state, Israel, for criticism while ignoring conflicts and countries engaged in major human rights violations around the world.
