Economic freedom is not a Democratic or Republican value. It should be seen as an American one. It is a fundamental animating idea of the republic that people should be free to work, build, hire, save, invest, trade and make their own economic choices without unnecessary interference from government.
Legislative Democrats will tell you the blame falls solely and directly at the feet of their Republican counterparts – myself included. However, that claim is nothing more than a disingenuous display of blatant political theater.
While imperfect, Wisconsin’s regulatory processes have allowed utilities to provide safe, reliable and affordable energy for decades. Those who propose to throw it overboard for a different system must be willing to explain how the lights will stay on, in heat or cold.
We should not allow a child to ride an e-bike or e-scooter without a helmet designed for the speed and use.
When you buy something, you should own it. Owning it means the right to fix it, or to choose who fixes it.
A slew of anti-trans state legislation was recently vetoed by Governor Tony Evers in March. While this is obviously great news, it’s concerning that these bills were not only considered in the first place but passed by the state Legislature.
A Madison-based nonprofit, The Open Notebook, is trying to buck the trend of declining coverage by giving journalists tools and confidence.
As new research raises even more questions, as moms are arrested and charged with murder, and as families continue to lose their infants to SIDS, we need more research and transparency, not less. Johnson’s letter represents an important turning point.
For 250 years, the Constitution has provided a framework that protects liberty while allowing free people to govern themselves. It does not guarantee perfection. It does something more important. It provides the tools for a free people to solve problems peacefully.
Independence Day is more than a holiday to me. It represents the freedom, opportunity, and welcome that this country extended to me. From an international student to a proud citizen of the United States, every step of this journey has shaped who I am today.
Wisconsin has spent generations building its economy on things the world needs: manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, power, water and skilled labor. Today, another essential industry is being added to that list: data centers.
The AI revolution runs on data centers. The Midwest — and Milwaukee — has a real opportunity to be part of that story. But opportunity doesn’t wait.
Why Wisconsin’s clean energy future is about affordability, jobs, and independence
While Trump is ripping off taxpayers enriching himself, his family and cronies, he is ripping apart healthcare affordability and coverage for millions.
I hope you will join me in pledging to work every day to keep our Republic, and to achieve the as yet unrealized dream of one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
If more Americans knew these quotes and government followed Madison’s advice, we would have a lot more prosperity and a lot less government.
With opinions that are routinely packaged as principled constitutional jurisprudence, Thomas’ selective legal philosophy of a “colorblind Constitution” is only used when it advances a particular political agenda.
Nearly 250 years later, this promise of public education continues.
On July 4, 1986, President Ronald Reagan gave one of the most powerful addresses of his career.
Nothing screams the Fourth of July like signs ranting about ICE, cruelty, and taxing the “rich.” At least that’s the case in The World According to Chris Larson. … Other Wisconsin Democrats tried harder than Larson to camouflage, for a day at least, the fact that their party often paints a very grim and pessimistic picture of a dystopian America.
