A country that once welcomed immigrants to assimilate and build America has now become an ogre to the rest of the world. Shame on us.

Supreme Court justices announced last week that they will take up the matter of an Alaskan bush pilot who had his plane taken by the state of Alaska over, of all things, a six-pack of Budweiser that wasn’t even his. He was sentenced to 180 days in jail.

Official reason for defunding pregnancy prevention program was ‘misalignment with agency priority, specifically normalizing sexual activity for minors.’

A new Wisconsin poll by Marquette Law School illustrates the headaches facing both parties.

Oddest of the odd is that in a head-to-head match-up with certain Republican nominee Tom Tiffany, Hong would tie! Even crazier, Mandela Barnes would win by 5 percentage points, Rodriguez would have won by 4.

Wisconsin is being treated like a mark, not as a partner by Big Tech. The word ‘welcoming’ should not mean ‘surrendering.’ We hold cards we haven’t played yet. This is a guide to playing them.

Bold reforms and investments can restore states such as Wisconsin to their rightful place as America’s manufacturing backbone.

There are as many theories about rural resurgence as there are small towns. In north-central Wisconsin, Bill Sennholz and his northern Wisconsin Forward Bank chain are focused on Main Street experience over theory. 

We cannot do nothing and assume we will be able to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and enjoy Wisconsin’s beautiful outdoors into the future. In order to protect these most basic freedoms, we need to act now to address urgent issues facing our state. 

We must oppose and ban Flock automated license plate readers and any other technology that undermines civil liberties and privacy. The abuse of these technologies causes more problems for Milwaukee residents. We need to remove them to protect our privacy and democracy.

The people who’ve been screaming “NO KINGS” sure seem to believe in kingmaking. They’ve been ranting for years about “threats to democracy” yet they are doing everything in their power to stop actual voters from picking their nominee.

With his attacks on Barnes, Tiffany trashes not just a Democratic rival but also the legacies of resistance deeply woven in the history of Wisconsin.

After nearly four decades around Wisconsin campaigns, I can say this with confidence: Francesca Hong isn’t running a conventional statewide campaign. She’s building an organization first and using it to power the campaign, not the other way around.

It looks like democratic socialist Francesca Hong has the race in the bag. She certainly thinks so, and polling backs her up, so Hong dropped an ad targeting Tom Tiffany.

James Causey on leadership, experience and why voters should take time to make an informed decision for governor. David Crowley earned his vote.

Democracy in Wisconsin

If they’re really serious about fraud, Vance and Tiffany — who currently represents Wisconsin’s 7th District in Congress, where he’s Donald Trump’s No. 1 lackey — would have much better luck ferreting out the rampant fraud and abuse in Trump’s Washington.

Without comprehensive resource planning, regulators have little opportunity to compare alternatives before committing customers to decades of infrastructure costs. … Instead of approving Wisconsin’s energy future one docket at a time, let’s build it through one comprehensive plan.

A financial safety net changes everything and opens the door for better mental health, better education, a stronger community and a stronger economy.
