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.
The attacks in Minnesota must not become just another headline. They must be a line in the sand. A moment to say: enough. We will not surrender our nation’s better angels to its worst instincts. Not today. Not ever.
Wisconsin must take the lead in enforcing transparency on pricing information for common hospital procedures.

People want health care that’s there when they need it, that doesn’t bankrupt them, and that doesn’t force them to navigate a labyrinth of paperwork.
Trump and congressional Republicans are determined to eliminate food assistance programs.
Seniors, people with disabilities, opt for more accessible ‘No Kings’ rally in Madison.
No Kings/Madison WI was impressive. It’s the bandwagon effect. Says, Hey! We could prevail! We doubt any anti-Trump demonstration anywhere in the country showed stronger, per capita. These people vote!
King speaks to us still, reminding us that to be effective, protest needs to reach across social boundaries and engender sympathy, that skillful protesters don’t permit themselves to be baited into alienating behavior, don’t waste energy trying to one-up each other.
Safe Roads Save Lives Act promotes public transparency and accountability while prioritizing traffic safety.
While Baldwin Blames Kennedy: MPS’ lead problem is an MPS problem that MPS took responsibility for causing and that is being handled by MPS.
Wisconsin must follow Maryland’s lead and codify student board representation through state legislation.
