Artificial intelligence may be new technology, but the importance of local representation, accountable government, and state authority remains as important as ever.
Kelda Roys is the progressive, competent and proven candidate for governor who will win in November.
Until the legislature addresses the healthcare monopolies devouring local school district budgets, any future financial compromise on school aid is an illusion. Without real medical cost control, our school districts will remain underfunded, our children will continue to pay the price, and hospitals and insurance companies will continue to increase profits.
Starting July 1, Wisconsin will require schools to keep cellphones out of classrooms. A study of Florida’s ban found test scores rose significantly. But those gains are inside, not outside, school.
Understanding this history explains many things about our state: how many places got their names, the significance rivers have always had here, and why Wisconsin was and remains one of America’s most Catholic states.
America’s strength has always been our ability to govern ourselves, with disagreements and debate, but always as one nation. That idea was extraordinary 250 years ago and remains one of the most powerful and enduring ideas the world has ever known.
The fringe anti-vax movement has grown with the same scope and severity of a once-eliminated infectious disease, all the way to the CDC — the very agency that, for decades, has campaigned on vaccine trust and efficacious interventions.
U.S. Postal Service is proposing a rule that essentially pledges not to deliver mail-in election ballots unless states knuckle under and hand over personal voter data to the federal government. What could go wrong?
Boiling down their pitch to voters, why do they deserve your vote?
While hanging out in hospitality suites at a party convention is fun for political junkies and consequential for statewide candidates who need to connect with activists from Wisconsin’s 72 counties, traveling to a convention takes time away from the campaign trail.
Political junkies are trying to extract meaning from the results of the WisPolitics straw poll taken this past weekend.
To mark June Dairy month, our lawmakers should listen to farmers, level the playing field, and include elements from the MFDA into the Farm Bill.
Since June is National Dairy Month, I want to highlight just three bills I authored or supported in an effort to provide some help for our dairy farmers, processors, and retailers this past session – and the status of the bills.
Your vote helps shape the future for your family, your community and our state and nation. No matter how hectic life gets, we cannot afford to let others make our choices for us at the ballot box.
When I speak of living abundantly, I do not speak solely of material wealth or personal comfort. I speak of equity. I speak of justice. I speak of a world where every child, regardless of the color of their skin, can exhale freely without first calculating the cost of their own existence.
Advancements in investigative and analytical technology are transforming how quickly law enforcement and prosecutors can build strong, evidence-based cases.
Trump’s coal power investments, including modernization of Wisconsin’s Columbia Energy Center, deliver reliable, affordable baseload electricity, thousands of jobs, and grid stability against unreliable renewables.
Ignore the spin by Trump’s MAGA supporters. This war with Iran is a failure.
Wisconsin has a far better option than Tiffany: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sara Rodriguez.
The bottom line as of post-convention time: Rodriguez may have reestablished herself as the frontrunner, but don’t count out Hong. And in November do not count out Tiffany.
