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.
Republicans might require able-bodied, childless adults to get a part-time job to qualify for Medicaid. They might also end a four-year-old Obamacare subsidy program. Not if Democrats have anything to say about it!
Hardly a day goes by that we don’t learn of another cruel and uncaring action by the Donald Trump administration.
I’m exhausted by attempts to pretend discrimination doesn’t exist in America.
The implementation of higher tariffs may cause some American manufactures to reconsider where they manufacture/outsource products and encourage them to bring some production back to the United States. Only time will tell.
Little did our founders know the immense and lasting impact that George Washington’s approach to power would have, not only on America but on the future of democracy across the globe.
The No Kings! protests drew millions into the streets of Milwaukee, Madison, Eau Claire, Waukesha, Kenosha, Wausau, Eagle River, Sturgeon Bay, Platteville and more than 2,100 other American cities and towns on the same day that the nation’s embattled president presided over a military parade in Washington.
But far apart on K-12 schools, UW system and child care funding.
Governor Evers thought he’d play a game of chicken with the legislature over school funding, and last week, he lost big time. Unfortunately, Evers wagered your property taxes.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. This year, Wisconsin saw a record number of school referendums – a clear sign that districts across the state are struggling
For a century, WARF has been at the forefront of turning university research into innovations that improve lives. But WARF’s success goes beyond patents and royalties; it is a story of vision, evolution, and leadership.
It’s a Rorschach test, the shootings of those Minnesota state legislators and their spouses. Over-heated conspiracists are grasping at whatever straws they can find (some of them plastic) to prove that the killer was an unholy warrior against their version of truth and justice.
Right-wing influencers marred Hortman’s death and smeared Walz on a pile of lies.
Many people in my orbit are genuinely concerned about making it easier and easier for developers to ignore homeowners in the build-everywhere frenzy that has characterized recent city debates.
