The country is being damaged by a government that really doesn’t want to govern, but because everyone is being distracted by Trump and his tweets, few are paying attention.
For more traditional conservatives horrified by Trump’s behavior, his level-headed judicial picks make the rest of his tenure even more frustrating.
Suits by citizens now trying to restrict public information.
Through the years, some co-ops have chipped away at the human element — trust — that kept it all together. Restoring that trust is the remedy for what ails our cooperatives. Seeking a legislative end-run that will diminish cooperative trust even further is not.
There is no way that a decent society rations out who gets health care by whether one is employed, or insured, or financially able.
We’ll forget you existed, Stephen Paddock. You are now the worst mass shooter in U.S. history, but we’ll forget you.
The cumulative impact of our total tax relief in this and our past budgets is $8 billion.

It would also lower the minimum age of conceal carry from 21 to 18.
Morning Martini’s Chris Rochester discusses the new state budget with La Crosse radio host Bob Schmidt.
Evers’ plan, a requirement under the new federal law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, fails to take any serious action on low-performing schools and forgoes opportunities to improve K-12 schools in Wisconsin.
