American workers and companies are the hardest-working, most innovative on Earth. If given a level playing field, they can compete with anyone. Unfortunately, they have been forced to compete in a trade environment that is neither free nor fair.
New American Family deal for naming rights shows how the rich get richer.
The data show what schools work and are more popular. Why not sell this?
Republicans’ legal bill for redistricting federal judge declared unconstitutional hits $3.5 million.
Special interest lobbying organization continues to push false narrative deriding Wisconsin farmers and small business owners.
Right now, the country is waiting to see who will blink first regarding the monetary demands for the infamous border wall … Donald Trump, Democrats, Republicans, or Donald Trump’s base?

Wisconsin must get real about drunk driving.
A decade has passed since the last time power was held by both parties in the state Capitol. With the election of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican majorities in both houses of the Legislature, sharing control of state government will be a new experience for many lawmakers who have known only one-party dominance. The upcoming state budget will likely test those relations.
Nationally and in Wisconsin it’s exploded by both parties since Citizens United. What’s the impact?
A Baldwin appointee to Wisconsin’s judicial nominating commission publicly accused Giampietro of “bigoted” views, views that in fact represent orthodox Catholic teaching.

The longer the government shutdown lasts, the more it gives rise to false equivalency – that both sides in the gridlock are equally to blame. The hope that talking things out will solve the problem is going to increase as the ripple effects for the whole economy grow beyond the 800,000 workers working without pay or furloughed until the government reopens.

In just the past few years, public opinion about single-payer health care has been rapidly changing. Polls show that more Americans than ever see the need for and understand Medicare.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen & Chvala, evaluate Gov. Tony Evers’ new cabinet. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
A federal judge struck down the highly controversial restrictions on early voting in Wisconsin, laws that were passed in one of the most twisted lame-duck sessions in memory.
Tony Evers rises above GOP’s nasty politics.
