It is impossible for me to imagine two more dissimilar humans in Presidents Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump.

What we’re seeing today with the Kavanaugh nomination are the same intimidation schemes those on the left implements whenever their ideas don’t win at the ballot box.

Treatment of principles in Kavanaugh hearings is unconscionable.

Wisconsin can’t afford to have Tony Evers as governor. There appears to be a real disconnect with the reality we can’t pay for all his lofty goals, and we can’t risk the further creep of an ever more controlling government.

In a new TV and printed ad campaign, the Republican Party of Wisconsin has launched a scurrilous attack on State Superintendent Tony Evers.

Madison school district touts graduation rates, but academic proficiency in question.

Over the past seven and a half years Wisconsin has experienced quite the turnaround and the future looks bright.

Her campaign seems to ignore poll data showing most disagree with her stands.
Many rightly lament increasingly polarized judicial races in Wisconsin. But this is inevitable when judges assume a role in public life not consistent with our constitutional order.

For 12 years Wisconsin has been deprived of a people’s lawyer at the top of its justice ladder, lacking a clear defender of open records, civil rights and basic access to justice for everyday people.

Just 12% of all ballots in 2004, could hit 33% in 2020.

After committing more than a billion dollars to widen to six lanes the interstate between Madison and the Illinois line — a distance of more than 45 miles — the state now wants to save about $14 million by keeping the northbound lanes at the interchange at two lanes.

The Kavanaugh nomination proceedings have sent women and survivors of sexual violence a harmful message — that if you’ve been harassed or assaulted, your pain doesn’t matter if it gets in the way of a man’s goals.

Charter schools excel and the racial and economic achievement gap remains.

Wigderson and Scaffidi discuss the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court and whether Gov. Scott Walker is really behind in the guv’s race.

Problems may go back a decade and mayor deserves much blame, some alderman say.

Polls from all sources over the past months have underscored the dread, and even alarm that voters are feeling about tariffs. The tariffs that the Trump White House have placed on a number of products ranging across many countries have not only made headlines, but for some companies created shaky bottom lines.

Because the GOP has cast its lot so thoroughly with Trump, he has succeeded in a remarkably short period in moving the window of acceptability in our politics, especially on the right. As a result, the rules of the game have changed in ways that are still hard to grasp, as conservatives accept behaviors and ideological shifts that would have been unacceptable a few years ago.

The attorney general of Wisconsin is an all-in Trump man who refers to his office as “a strong partner” with the Trump administration.

In the interests of Wisconsin’s “homeland security,” our governor should demand that all Wisconsin Guard members remain in Wisconsin.
