The Public Service Commission’s approval of two new We Energies natural gas plants wasn’t just a policy decision. It was a moral failure of leadership, imagination and public duty.
Wisconsin has a rich history of celebrating Juneteenth with various events, parades, community gatherings, and educational programs.
Women in positions of power, like Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman, are especially affected. They are more likely to receive threats than men.
U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden seized on the double murder of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were shot dead in their home, and the near-fatal shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, to mock Democrats and try to score political points.
The more mobs scream, the more Americans tune them out.
Democrats, partisan media and other critics of Trump are raising the spectre of diversion of our military from their proper constitutional roles, and even possible military dictatorship. That is an exaggeration, at least for the moment.
But part should be jettisoned, and we need to keep working toward flat tax.
At a time of missile launches in the Middle East, grinding war in Ukraine, political assassination in Minnesota and a potentially crushing national debt hanging over the economy, it’s a relief to visit a place where people gather for lunch, sing a patriotic song and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. All at the world’s biggest Culver’s restaurant, no less.
Everyone benefits when someone succeeds. Student parents are taking steps into success by earning degrees. Do we want these parents and their children to succeed long-term? It just requires some additional support right now.
Jerrel Jones, the visionary founder of Courier Communications, whose groundbreaking work in Black media has left an indelible mark in Milwaukee and beyond.
Yeah, you read the headline right. Little Marco Rubio, otherwise known as the former U.S. senator and now secretary of state, has become a titan inside the Trump administration, and nowhere is his power and importance more noteworthy than in the arena of free speech.
At a time when our politics is so loud, brittle, and chaos-driven, Tony Evers comes across as a reminder of how our elected leaders once conducted themselves as individuals and worked in the office they were elected to hold.
Bernie Sanders has sponsored an anti-war resolution in the Senate, while conservative Thomas Massie is doing the same in the House.
Consumption (conspicuous or otherwise) is, I would submit, the quintessential American idol. No god and no religion that I know of has a fraction of its power over people’s lives.
Ben Wikler was probably the smartest Wisconsin Democratic Party chair in the last 40 years or so. The Democrats had many victories under him. And he was a zealot about campaigning in rural areas.
Evers and the Republican legislative majority failed to find common ground on a budget.
The Republican majority on the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted last week against fully funding the state’s payments for municipal services, which are designed to reimburse cities for the costs of providing police, fire and other essential services to tax-exempt state properties.
Let me be clear, without continued state support, Wisconsin families, employers, and businesses will be left in the same sinking boat — without access to quality, reliable, affordable child care.
Rebecca Bradley probably won’t run for re-election because things seem hopeless.
His stop and start on ICE raids affects restaurants, dairy industry, hotels and more.
