Earlier this week the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reprinted an article in their Ideas Lab from Kaiser Health News reporter Julie Revnor. I have the hard copy but online I found it on the NPR site. The article wrangles with the notion of who is really protecting the Affordable Care Act’s clause to cover Americans […]
Will all of the hub bub in Washington around Kanye West in the West Wing and Melania Trump’s visit to Africa and Jared Kushner’s lack of tax paying…this little story about an American diplomat meeting with the Taliban was buried in the main news section of the Sunday New York Times.

A number of outside groups affiliated with Democrats are spending $1 million in Wisconsin in support of long shot Democratic candidates.
But what’s most interesting from this article is the Republican Party response:

He has agreed to cooperate with the Mueller probe, pled guilty to several charges from the Mueller probe, and insured a cap of ten years in prison when sentenced.
Interestingly enough, Trump attorney […]
Now that we’ve had an opportunity to digest the NY Times Op Ed piece by anonymous (I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration), there are actually some very troubling things that we should be thinking about. A number of online posters have questioned whether some of the actions described might be […]
$16 an hour good : $15 an hour bad!
The trade pact being negotiated between the United States and Mexico gets a bit convoluted when it comes to North American content of cars manufactured in Mexico. The numbers are aimed at increasing content manufactured in the United States.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said Monday that Mexico had agreed to ensure […]
