We need to talk more about what triggers the kind of outrage that sticks to Weinstein and Cosby but not to Donald Trump. If anything positive comes out of this case it is turning our glares at the justice system.
Before the UW System Board of Regents vote on the proposal in November? — or, more likely, in spring 2018? — several critical questions should be asked, discussed, and answered.
Walker has certainly set himself up for a Republican primary challenge. The Foxconn deal has been criticized by conservative business analysts and even by right-wing groups that usually cover for the governor.
For voters looking for an actual democrat among the Democrats, though, there is no more important plan than one to take the once-a-decade redistricting process out of the direct control of politicians.
As soon as Republicans took control of the Legislature and governorship in Wisconsin, we hit the ground running to advance pro-life causes and protect the most vulnerable among us.
In contrast to today’s legislative crusades to protect right-wingers when they speak on campus, the conservatives of the ’50s and ’60s were busy trying to keep left-wingers from speaking at all.
Nineteen states have called for a Constitutional amendment that would overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision. Rep. Scott Allen won’t even allow a public hearing on a resolution that would let Wisconsinites vote on this core issue of our time.
System needs reform. Proposed law is badly needed.
Natural disasters will happen, with or without climate change. The trick is understanding how to mitigate the effects of those disasters before and after they happen.
Walker boasting about increased education spending rings a discordant note for right-wingers who would rather see a more efficient government than one that is simply bigger.

Scott Walker says he appreciates your hard work, even when his actions show he really doesn’t.
Northern counties in decline. Attention must be paid, WisTax leader says.
President Trump, frustrated with Congress’ failure to repeal Obamacare, has begun to take unilateral action to reintroduce market forces into the health insurance market and pick at the pillars of Obamacare. His actions are a great first step.
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.
