Whether the principal factor determining Wisconsin state election outcomes is the candidates themselves or political geography is on the ballot this fall.
It matters that every single vote is counted. So hold tight, do some breathing exercises and unclench your jaw.
Some conservatives reject Trump but cannot bring themselves to vote for the one candidate who could stop him. I refuse to be one of them.
The possibility of Donald Trump defeating Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is frightening. Here are four ways to cope with the anxiety during the campaign’s final weeks.
It will take all of us to protect our rights.
A friend of ours at the National Review, Rich Lowry, has faced scrutiny following allegations that he used a racial slur during a discussion on Haitian Migrants in Ohio and the story’s political ramifications in the 2024 election. He didn’t.
Six Catholic hospitals in Wisconsin are in the Stop the Harm database. Those Catholic facilities conducted sex-changes on at least 24 children from 2019-23.
Milwaukee and Wisconsin face the prospect of losing this R1 designation for UWM, and with it, returning to the status of Iowa that possesses only a single Carnegie R1 university.
Since 2006, the county’s ability to raise the necessary revenue has been restricted by state law, and it has not kept pace with the rising costs of providing essential services. Each year, Waukesha County residents contribute approximately $1.5 billion in sales and income taxes to the state government in Madison. In return, our county receives just $60 million back in state aid.
After filing an open records request, citizen watchdog Bonnie Roe finds that not once did the City of Madison lobby a single Republican legislator for financial assistance during the last 18 months even as its $22 million budget hole became apparent.
Career politicians in Washington have continually ignored the urgent pleas of families and individuals impacted by the fentanyl crisis, allowing the epidemic to not only continue but to worsen. Immediate and real change is needed.
Baldwin led in passing and improving the ACA. Cooke and Harris strongly support the ACA. All three want to expand and improve Medicare. Trump, devoid of empathy, doesn’t get it and never will. Nor do Cooke and Baldwin’s GOP opponents, Derrick Van Orden and Eric Hovde.
That a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin could stoop so low begs the question: Could this really be the kind of a nation we’ve become?
The reluctance of some men to support a female president stems from deep-seated societal norms and biases that continue to pervade American political culture.
Your vote can return America to a nation where everyone has the opportunity to have enough.
For years Republicans have waged fight after fight to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which would dismantle protections for pre-existing conditions.
Weeks away from the next election, and a sizable portion of the country has chosen to forget, ignore or in some cases celebrate Jan. 6, 2021.
Veterans in Wisconsin, who make up 7% of the state’s population, are a powerful force at the polls. We seek a commander in chief with sound judgment and genuine ethical principles. Trump has neither, and his support is fading among us. Go check the latest polls. We all know that he’s never been a warrior — just a performer.
Predicting the outcome is a fools errand. But I think we can be pretty certain what the parameters are for the election as a whole — what the best case scenarios look like for each party in Wisconsin and nationally. Here’s what I think those look like.
Main Street Agenda one way to use community engagement to build stronger ties.
