Our self-anointed master deal-maker, President Donald Trump, gave away the store when he told Vladimir Putin at the get-go that he could keep the land he seized in Ukraine as part of a Trumpian peace deal. With that concession in hand, Putin did not decrease the hostilities against Ukraine; he ramped up his aggression to expand the seized territory.
New Marquette poll finds 56% approve of border security policies, only 34% on inflation and cost of living.
I hope that someone with a distinguished legal background and no obvious ideological or partisan leanings will step up to run.
Two maps of Wisconsin produced by the MacIver Institute reveal two very different political realities in the state.
We want our children to grow through sports — to learn discipline, resilience, teamwork. But how can they do that when they’re busy navigating unspoken racial double standards?
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary Americans to the top of American society.
I urge our elected officials — especially those who have said they want to protect “the vulnerable” — to stop these irresponsible cuts to Medicaid.
The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA), introduced last Congress, would inject competition into the marketplace and correct the failures that have allowed swipe fees to grow out of control.
Now that the media itself is admitting that the last two years of Joe Biden’s administration was a giant lie — that Biden was essentially senile and his staff was running the country — the important questions to ask are: How morally bankrupt are they, and how in the world did they think they could get away with it?
Orders are not laws, which is one reason courts keep tossing them out for exceeding the executive’s constitutional authority. Congress makes laws. That’s what the Constitution says. America should follow its founding document.
Independent analysis shows the Oak Creek gas plant would cause around 700 new cases of asthma, 60 heart attacks, 250 emergency room visits, and 200 premature deaths over its lifetime and $92-144 million in health costs every year.
Can Bryce take down Steil, a prodigious fundraiser who does his best to avoid controversy in a district that has not elected a Democrat since 1993?
Excessive regulation would discourage tourism, reduce accessibility for physically challenged individuals, and lacks scientific justification.
At the end of the day, while all the measures the GOP are seeking are positive, none are transformative. Until we unequivocally strip the bureaucracies of any lawmaking power, the bureaucracies and their progressive allies will find ways to manipulate the system.
The GOP-led House is in a quandary over extending the tax cuts, which are due to expire at the end of the year, while also reducing the deficit.
Our nation and the democracy-loving countries of the world do not have a person in the Oval Office speaking the clarion words and promoting the bedrock values and ideals that have attracted the global community to the true foundation and power of the United States.
I made the decision to donate a kidney to help save a life. Proposed legislation helps others make that decision, too.
Tyree Nichols’ death should not be in vain. His case must serve as a wake-up call for all Americans, particularly the Black community, to engage fully in the systems that govern us.
Passage of a Right of First Refusal law would ensure that Wisconsin utilities, who are accountable to Wisconsin regulators and legislators, construct the transmission lines that keep the lights on for families and business throughout the Badger state.
Trade is an essential part of Wisconsin’s success, with exports contributing more than $27.5 billion to our state economy last year. It’s one of the reasons we recently completed a nine-day trade mission to Germany and France — two critical Wisconsin export partners — while helping state businesses enter the global marketplace and build relationships with potential collaborators. We also encouraged international companies to invest in Wisconsin.
