Countless Republicans, concerned about retaining control of the senate and the advancement of their political agenda, are willing to make excuses for their complicity in advancing Alabama U.S. Senate Candidate Ray Moore.
Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin simply seeks to give victims like me equal legal footing — nothing more, nothing less.
On “Outside the Bubble” NewsTalk 1130 WISN’s Dan O’Donnell speaks out against political tribalism and offers a candid assessment on President Trump, Governor Walker and many other topics.
DNR adds another 240 waterways that are officially impaired, bringing total to 1,300.
The incredible and shocking display of disorder which occurred during the Dane County Board of Supervisors meeting was more than just differing opinions about a local matter. It was anarchy on full display by anarchists.

Paperwork takes staff away from daily responsibilities and educating kids, officials say.
Trump and the GOP-led Congress have done nothing for regular folks.
Sen. Ron Johnson is right to challenge the GOP’s tax reform plan.
We have come a long way in integrating people with disabilities into society. But individuals with mental health and conduct disorders are an exception.

I’m an urban liberal who voted for Hillary Clinton, but when I sit for hours in my deer stand I remind myself of the value of being settled and maybe I start to understand, just a little bit, what it means to feel unrooted in a world you don’t know. This doesn’t make me want to change my political stripes, but it does argue for a change in attitude.

And why do I get nothing back in return but a bigger federal deficit?
