Democrats should not flinch. The stakes are too high, the price too costly. They must confront this threat head-on and show Republicans that they will do everything possible to minimize the harm posed to Americans in this moment.

We need local and state government to protect American liberty and freedom from an overzealous federal police force that is compromising local law enforcement.

We must put protections into state law to ensure that every person — regardless of income, zip code, or insurance status — retains control over their own life.

It was a bit surprising last Saturday when the Camp Randall crowd erupted in a chorus of boos as the Badgers, trailing 20-0 after a lackluster first half, went jogging off to the locker room.

In Wisconsin—a true purple state—we’ve learned that climate action is common sense: it lowers bills, creates good local jobs, and protects the air and water families depend on. Our playbook is pragmatic and bipartisan: align smart policy with market innovation, center justice, and let businesses, workers, tribes, and frontline communities lead together.

Sometimes basic science takes us down a path whose destination cannot be imagined at the moment of discovery.

Radicals in Washington are trying to revoke the new employment requirements for able-bodied, working-age adults.

It’s well to see where we are now, on the cusp of fall. We have a president who delights in breaking the rules and conduct spelled out in the Constitution.

Our playing by the high-road rules and mature leadership is where the Donald Trump White House wants the Democrats to land so Republicans can continue to blast away the programs designed to help our nation’s health care needs in the federal budget.

Bureaucracy and personal attacks stymie plan for houses; ‘No way are we going to live in Egg Harbor’

It looks like the congressional gerrymander wars sparked by the Trump White House are going to bypass Wisconsin for now. But Wisconsin’s own experience with gerrymandering in recent years is a sobering reminder of the harm in store for our federal elections.

All would depend on taking control of state government in next year’s elections.

Both nationally and locally a notable decline since 2017. Why?

Now, some Wisconsin nurses can evaluate patients, diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, and even manage chronic diseases on their own.

Last time the government was on the brink of a shutdown, Democratic leaders rushed to negotiate with Republicans and reached a deal to keep federal agencies open and basic services flowing. Now that deal is about to expire and there seems to be little appetite for compromise in Washington.

The Wisconsin supreme court adopted a flagrantly unconstitutional interpretation of an unobjectionable tax exemption. After being unanimously reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Wisconsin court isn’t content to allow the exemption to bear its ordinary meaning. It instead is considering using its own unconstitutional interpretation as a reason to invalidate the exemption in its entirety.

Their longstanding strategy to kill any and all restrictions to gun manufacturing and ownership have helped saturate the U.S. with 500 million guns, including those involved in 46,728 American deaths from gun violence in 2023. So when Trump excoriated the mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, he’s was blaming them for crime waves that he and his party have literally armed.

Senate Bill 70 and Assembly Bill 49 would allow certified unaccompanied homeless youth to consent to medically necessary care. This includes basic, non-elective treatment—nothing cosmetic or optional.

Republicans refused to allow this budget to give our public schools any increase in general school aid, so most districts will be forced to go to referendum again to afford basic, operational costs. The likelihood of higher property taxes worries me greatly at a time when many Wisconsinites are already just getting by.

Using massive amounts of water and electric power and creating few jobs
