This week’s coverage of Michael Johnson’s new job running Cincinnati’s United Way was understandably effusive. After all, the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County has had a huge impact here in eight years as an outspoken and entrepreneurial advocate for people of color.
Democratic state senator’s press conference was a declaration of war — against everybody.
GOP candidate for Senate smears Sen. Baldwin, branding her a “terrorist.”
The Journal of Internal Medicine published two studies that conclude that medical marijuana laws have the potential to reduce opioid prescriptions.

Democrats have a problem. Since House Speaker Paul Ryan decided not to run for re-election, Wisconsin’s first congressional district should be something of a competitive election. However, it may not be, and that’s causing some Democrats buyer’s remorse.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization helping to build better lives for those affected by mental illness.
Debt was Ron Johnson’s obsession — until he helped Trump create the biggest deficit in 75 years.
Now a fixture on national news programs, including MSNBC, Sykes reflects on his first year away from his Milwaukee radio talk show and reacts to his numerous, and vocal, critics in an interview with Edge Messaging’s Brian Fraley.

Issue is critical to small businesses, who create most new jobs in the state.
In an election year, the governor has called for things he should have been doing since he took office.
