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…

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…

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.
