Harris advocated for building a robust middle class and protecting women’s rights and tackling inflation. However, she wasn’t clear on how she planned to do these things.
Trump won because of the fundamentals.
Those left behind by trade and technology have found a voice in Trump.
I am not sure how others have fared over the past few days, but what has happened has left me, and I suspect many others, too, feeling sad, unsettled, and nostalgic. I feel like we have lost a part of ourselves, our nation.
It is evident that the court should overrule its prior decisions insofar as they permit governors to amend appropriation bills without the approval and “consent of the governed,” as given by their legislative representatives.
As we approached yet another contentious election, the importance of a well-informed electorate has never been clearer. Programs like the Center for Civic Education’s We the People are exactly what we need to catalyze constitutional understanding and serve as an antidote for what ails our civic spirit.
Police in DeForest more than 13 times as likely to issue cannabis citations than counterparts in Milwaukee, Fitchburg or Hobart/Lawrence.
Here’s how policymakers in Washington can support them.
Artificial intelligence is a tech-blue genie that won’t be crammed back into the bottle – in Wisconsin, the United States or by competitors abroad. The best choice is to make it a very useful genie.
In the end it turned out to be about the fundamentals. No party had ever won a presidential election when its incumbent president had approval ratings this low.
A lot has changed in Wisconsin since 2020, from improvements in the Republican ground game to the growth of conservative media to a strong push for early voting. There’s great enthusiasm on the right for Trump in Wisconsin right now – more than there was in 2020 – when people were fatigued. The lawfare turned that around.
Once again, The Donald benefited from a weak opponent. Democrats sowed Tuesday’s defeat four years ago when they nominated (and elected) a deeply diminished and weak man. Donald Trump will make the better President; for moral leadership, we have to look elsewhere.
Without a doubt, white rural voters with lots of anger, resentment, and grievances willfully and recklessly voted to elect Donald Trump to the White House. Those voters fell for the authoritarian demagoguery of the Republican Party nominee that was delivered morning, noon, and night with crudeness, and in the final phase of the election, with outright vulgarity.
There seems to be little question that the 2024 election was the worst for the viciousness and volume of those TV ads, and we can thank our U.S. Supreme Court for much of that. It was the court that in 2010 opened the floodgates to what essentially is unlimited political ad spending that is funding those relentless attacks.
Enrollment trends suggest some campuses may be unsustainable.
His memory will live on in the countless lives he touched, the bridges he built, and his legacy of empathy.
He was someone who considered suicide as a teen and knew how important the issue was.
Our processes work to keep cheaters from impacting our elections. Period. Take it from us, a Republican and a Democrat, who have devoted our careers to this job. The winner of the state of Wisconsin will know that this process was safe, secure, and most importantly, fair.
What sets 2024 apart from 2020 is how much more organized and prepared national pro-democracy organizations have been to strategize their counter offense to bad actors.
As Wisconsin faces the critical challenge of maintaining public confidence in our elections, veterans are stepping forward to serve democracy once again – this time at our local polling stations.
