RightWisconsin’s James Wigderson interviews 3rd CD GOP candidate Steve Toft.

Wisconsin’s clean waters are increasingly blue-green, brown and unhealthy.

Raising child care subsidy rates helps parents working to improve their family’s lives.

If competency-based education helps to remove some of the barriers that prevent people from getting the skills they need to advance their careers, perhaps more students can reach the workforce faster and better prepared to contribute to employers, their communities and beyond.

I don’t like the feel of these demands for Flynn to drop out. They carry the whiff of a behind-the-scenes fix by professional pols who have misplayed before.

If you’re truly worried about voter disenfranchisement and turnout, you should be more concerned about putting up a likable and inspirational candidate than voter ID.

Ron Johnson’s Moscow trip confirms pro-Russian Trumpism is the future.

And what this may say about the Democratic Party.

To be successful, Democrats must focus on Gov. Walker’s failures and show Wisconsin voters their vision for the state, rather than attacking each other.

When candidates challenge an incumbent, they only have one option: To convince voters to change course. In doing so, they often have to fabricate a new reality from which they then vow to save a state’s citizens.

Pocan’s proposal not backed by Baldwin, most Democratic candidates for Congress.

Sykes reviews Dan Kaufman’s new book, “The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics.”

GOP U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner continues to advocate for the revitalization of the Voting Rights Act — along with Congressional Black Caucus members such as Milwaukee Congresswoman Gwen Moore and Georgia Congressman John Lewis.

Title X funding to organizations like Planned Parenthood is now in jeopardy because of Donald Trump’s insistence on instituting a so-called “domestic gag rule” that would deny funding to any clinic that includes the word “abortion” in counseling pregnant women about their options or that actually performs abortions.

When you add all of the above to our rising wages, lowest-ever unemployment rate, budget surpluses, tax cuts, record K-12 education funding, more investment in broadband, and the best-funded pension system in America, it is crystal clear that Wisconsin’s economy is absolutely going in the right direction.

Amidst the deliberations about the National Defense Authorization Act are a series of proposals to undermine two of our nation’s bedrock environmental laws.
