As Jews, we unequivocally condemn antisemitism in all its forms. We recognize the urgent and ongoing need to combat hatred, bigotry and discrimination. However, we strongly oppose the proposed codification of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Working Definition of Antisemitism, including its examples, into Wisconsin state law.
Local activists deploy a renewed emphasis on legal strategy and grassroots organizing.
Time to marvel at the incredible wealth of Wisconsin’s richest people.
It wasn’t just one incident, from the cab driver to hotel check-in desk, the fans in line at pre-game concessions, to the endless sea of tailgaters, they wore their host obligations on their jerseys.
Immigrants are 7% of state’s workforce, 11% of business owners, 16% of physicians, HRSC report finds.
We need bold, forward-looking policies as in the past that support workers, strengthen businesses, and make sure our state remains a place where families want to live and work.
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation has spent a century partnering with UW-Madison to address one of higher education’s most significant challenges: translating university discoveries into real-world impact.
Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong, a Madison Democrat who, like New York’s Zohran Mamdani, has made a name for herself as an outspoken legislator who is aligned with the Assembly’s multi-member socialist caucus, thinks there is room for an insurgent politics in this state.
Charlie Kirk was hated because he was so decent and so effective.
Congressman’s attacks on liberals spread exactly the kind of wrath he claims to oppose.
If we are to survive as a democracy we simply must push back and stem the erosion of shared truth. When facts become negotiable and institutions become stage props, democracy becomes a performative national joke. The stuff that writes itself for a late-night comedian to use.
Aside from wasting taxpayers’ money, this whole business of sending active military soldiers trained to fight wars and kill the enemy to confront their own citizenry is dangerous — and illegal.
DATCP is proposing fee increases on livestock producers, dealers, truckers, and others. Some of the proposed fees would rise by as much as almost 1,700 percent.
There’s a reason it’s called doomscrolling and not hopescrolling. Social media algorithms favor doom over hope, lies over truth, hate over love.
With regressing attitudes towards unhoused people and winter looming, Madison and Dane County need to embrace imperfect solutions.
My fellow Republicans lose the argument when they call our political adversaries schoolyard names like “Demon-rats.” Progressives might be more credible if they would dial back the hyperbole.
A murder that brings out our best … and our absolute worst.
Trump not only failed to end the Russia-Ukraine war, he has made things much worse with his soft, equivocal stance. He spouts off but shows little backbone.
The GOP-led congressional passage of the Big Beautiful Act is already an unpopular fiasco. The bill is polling badly because most Americans, including Wisconsinites, know it’s bad for them.
As someone who walks into families’ homes every week, I can tell you: The need is great, and the stakes are high. Our children deserve more than political uncertainty. They deserve a Head Start.
