Rep. Pocan has been pressuring his colleagues to do something — anything — to address what is our national embarrassment: the killing and wounding of tens of thousands of mostly innocent people by firearms every single year.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker formally announced his re-election campaign on Sunday. What are his prospects for victory? What are his strengths and vulnerabilities and who is his likely opponent?
Over the last seven years many public educators have acclimated to Walker’s world and maybe even suppressed memories of the initial bomb, but it still stinks what Walker and his GOP cohorts have done to public schools and professional educators in Wisconsin.
The Russian interference investigation overshadows everything: Trump’s trip to Asia, 2018 elections – GOP control of Congress, Trump’s reelection and the GOP legislative agenda.
A bill passed in the State Assembly that allows anyone to go hunting, no matter how young.
As of November 1st, Wisconsin residents and families can apply for a 2018 health plan, renew their current plan or pick a new plan through the ACA’s Health Insurance Marketplace.
Despite latest media narrative, Americans know exactly why Obamacare is a mess … and who is at fault.
The consequences are real, unintended or not, and the so-called fixes have built-in problems.
I can’t help but look at the Foxconn deal and wonder what might happen if Wisconsin took the $3 billion it plans to give the Taiwanese-based manufacturer to locate its sprawling plant here, and instead offered that money to entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Students from historically underrepresented and disadvantaged groups report experiencing a less favorable campus climate than majority students. Students of color, students with a disability, LGBQ and transgender/non-binary students feel less safe and less welcome on campus.
Madison’s mayor sounds like a politician who’d embrace the conflict.
President Trump’s trip to Asia this month gives an opportunity to change course by stating a policy the two Koreas, Japan and China understand.
Donald Trump has a rare infinity for putting his foot in his mouth and fanning the flames of controversy.
The idea of running as a Republican by attacking one of the state’s most popular GOP politicians is puzzling given that Nicholson is trying to persuade people that he is, indeed, Republican.
The National Journal has already described the Republican primary as a contest between Bannon/Breitbart and local conservatives. This recorded conversation is a troubling sign that Nicholson’s campaign might see the race that way, too, and they’re choosing the wrong side.
The legislation would fix a failed two-decade-long experiment with over-regulation in Wisconsin.
Michael Brennan’s nomination for a lifetime appointment as a judge on a federal appellate court whose jurisdiction includes Wisconsin is tainted in ways that should make Wisconsinites wary.
Recently introduced legislation a felony in search of a crime.
Disruptive protests help recruiting efforts of alt-right.
Unplugging – whether literally, figuratively, or both – is one way to demonstrate to others that we care about them and that we are listening. Building on that, if our family, friends, and colleagues benefit from uninterrupted time, does our inner self not deserve a little uninterrupted time as well?
