This does come as a bit of a surprise:
State Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, will step down from his seat in the 89th Assembly District effective Wednesday, according to a news release. Nygren has represented the district — which includes portions of Marinette, Oconto and Brown counties — since 2006 and served four […]
Despite the mass shooting at Mayfair Mall yesterday, that left eight people injured, the MAGA rally advertised by the Wisconsin Conservative Digest, took place outside. David Clarke was supposed to be the featured speaker, but I haven’t seen any reports on the activities other than parades and flag waving. I didn’t see any signs that […]
Wisconsin reports record 7,497 new coronavirus cases and 58 deaths as the seven-day case average passes 6,000.
As Wisconsin reported yet another record-shattering day of COVID-19 cases Thursday, only 8% of intensive care unit beds remained available and health officials urged people to avoid even small gatherings heading into the holiday season.
The state Department […]
Just Days After WI GOP Legislators Say There Is Nothing More We Can Do: COVID-19 Positive Cases and Deaths Set Records Just Flat OFF The Charts.
Apparently Wisconsin Republicans just don’t care if you die: I mean, they’ve sued the governor every chance they’ve had and it hasn’t helped. Wisconsin reports more than 5,200 cases, 64 deaths, shattering previous records in worst day of pandemic yet.
Wisconsin reached its most dire point yet Tuesday in the coronavirus crisis that has […]
As I’ve written any number of times over the past few weeks, the Republican majority in the Wisconsin legislature has repeatedly complained about the various attempts by Governor Evers to protect Wisconsinites from COVID-19…they’ve actively gone to court to sue. And I have asked any number of times what their intentions are…and they’ve never put […]
It’s been five years since candidate Donald Trump started his campaign. He couldn’t release his tax returns because they were being audited. I call bullshit but lets just accept that premise. NO one’s tax returns are so complicated that an audit for 2014 or 2015 or even 2016 wouldn’t have been completed by now. So […]
WI GOP Tries To Tie One Hand Behind Tommy Thompson’s Back
After an amazingly adroit failure at selecting a new president for the University of Wisconsin system, the Board of Regents selected former Governor Tommy Thompson to act as the interim president.
And the reception to the announcement among officialdom has been for the most part positive if maybe a bit reserved. But Wisconsin’s […]
Dystopian Madison: GOP Assembly Edition
Wisconsin voters are about split evenly between the Democrats and Republicans with a healthy number who identify as independent. And for most partisan general elections, you can expect the majority of the voters to vote along party lines…with independents voting for someone who best aligns with their interests.
But regardless of our party affiliation, […]
This seems a little harsh even for this lefty but as I watch President Donald Trump push the United States toward Third World status…and given the intractability of Wisconsin Republicans…it gets easier and easier to view Wisconsin as a failed state. article shared by a regular reader.
A failed state […]
Then why are we talking about it in meetings with business leaders or in the press instead of just walking across the Capitol and getting it done? I am sure that somewhere in the governor’s suite of offices is a conference room large enough to meet in while socially distancing. And as we now know, […]
