In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says President Donald Trump lacks humility.

When Ed Garvey’s good friend John Skilton called me early Wednesday morning to tell me Ed had passed away a few hours before, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

Ed Garvey was a modern-day Fighting Bob La Follette. He carried the torch of the progressive movement in Wisconsin for the last three decades. He was a corporate dragon-slayer, and an indefatigable fighter for democracy. He was our teacher, our preacher, and sometimes our comedian, as he was gifted with a delightful wit.

The Republicans in Congress, many back home during a recess, are being pummeled in ways far deeper and longer than the old Tea Party did to Democrats.

A differentiation strategy might work better than Walker’s low-cost approach.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck remembers progressive icon Ed Garvey, who died Wednesday.

Ed Garvey, the friend of many, the leader of “what could have been” and a good man has died and I am saddened.

Throughout his career there was never a time when Garvey did not weigh in with his hopes and ideals about the needs of voters and try to press our attention towards better policy outcomes.

A horrible turnout, a big night for Evers, and who the heck is William Crowley?

We continue to analyze the entire proposal and as we have delved into details of the policy items it contains, there are several areas about which we have concerns. Here are a few of the items we are closely tracking.

What is the “Reform Dividend” the Governor spoke about in his budget address? Where is it? How much is it? An inquiring mind wanted to know.

If past is prologue, Judge Gorsuch’s record gives us every assurance that he will be a jurist bound by the text of the Constitution.

Donald Trump promised all of us that he was going to help America’s forgotten working people who’ve been abandoned by the powers that be in this country. I’m trying to figure out, though, how this city slicker’s initial actions are going to help the beleaguered working stiffs he claims to care so much about.
