Cannabis is far less harmful and poses fewer negative side effects than most prescription drugs – especially opiate-based painkillers – and our state’s residents should also have the choice to decide which health care options work best for them.
Gail’s Law is named in honor of patient advocate Gail Zeamer, a brave Wisconsin woman whose own battle with breast cancer inspired her to fight for others.
We are well on the way to having, at least, two separate school systems — and taxpayers are on the hook for both.
Voters elect hacks like Underly who do nothing. The grooming coverup is one result.
Every day, Tony Evers and Tammy Baldwin take to social media to spell out the reason for the government shutdown. Republicans won’t extend the affordable care tax credits – which means the premiums on Obamacare plans will go up. Here’s what they don’t want you to know.
Support your local food pantries and food banks to help bridge this gap. More critically, we all need to advocate for restored federal funding to SNAP. Only federal support can provide the long-term solution.
Democrats can’t just rely on big margins in favorable areas to turn this country around.
People are still debating whether the millions who marched in rural and urban America, the 20,000 here in Madison and the thousands of others in Dane County communities did any good to change the way Donald Trump and the Republicans are governing.
Experts argue it will take a Democrat like Tony Evers to win the state.
Wisconsin has the tools, data and public accountability mechanisms necessary to balance wolf conservation with the protection of livestock and human safety.
As families across Wisconsin and the nation prepare for open enrollment, they’re discovering that their monthly health insurance premiums have skyrocketed.

The demolition of the heretofore little known East Wing is one of those pop-up cultural thunderstorms, momentarily intense, quickly gone. Symbolizes Trump in the China shop, upsetting norms, defying tradition, setting the agenda without asking Nancy Pelosi for permission.
The unity of nations was always a misnomer, double-speak for the unified power of an elite. What we need is the unity of a nation, not in policy but in purpose.
Veterans’ issues are always top of mind for me, not because they make the headlines, but because I am a veteran myself and understand firsthand the sacrifices and challenges our servicemen and servicewomen face.
I’m running to represent Wisconsin’s 17th Senate District, which stretches across our western counties into the edges of Dane County.
Expect candidates to field questions about economic growth/environmental concerns.
There’s a reason it’s a big story when adults abuse the trust of children. It’s despicable behavior. Politicians who ignore or capitalize on that crime for political gain do us no good.
Thanks to Dane County, the Democratic Party is poised to live down to its reputation as the party of defund the police. What did Republicans do to deserve such luck?
