Republicans’ proposal on fair maps remains unfair
By: Kelly Fenton
Shamelessness is a powerful weapon. If, in your single-minded plot to retain power, you are willing to engage in cartoonish hypocrisy and transparent doublespeak – without a hint of embarrassment – you have a decided advantage. Robin Vos, in his preposterously cynical column regarding the GOP’s preposterously cynical 'non-partisan' redistricting proposal, shows just how willing he is to do so.
Extremism Wins
By: Carol Lenz
With the support of Wisconsin’s Republican congressmen, the MAGA extremists got their man. Gallagher, Steil, Fitzgerald, Grothman, and Tiffany all voted for this radical agenda. Van Orden skipped the vote. Not a moderate among them. This is not where the majority of Wisconsinites are. But that is where the Republican Party is today.
Do-Nothing Gallagher must go
By: Carol Lenz
‘Unproductive’ and ‘chaotic’ sums up 2023 for Congressman Mike Gallagher and the GOP House majority. What were their accomplishments? Well ... they elected a Speaker, after 15 votes. Then they fired the Speaker. After a few more weeks of chaos, they elected a new Speaker. Then they went on vacation …. Thanks, I guess?
Van Orden misrepresents border issues
By: Barbara Vander Loop
Immigrants do not take American jobs and are not a drain on our revenue. Nothing could be further from the truth. They take the jobs Americans don’t want while paying into Social Security. They take few employment benefits and are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than their American counterparts.
Some representatives placing party ahead of country
By: Eileen Felix
Republicans like Van Orden are responsible for the lack of help to fix the border. Ask him why he and his colleagues won’t bring the bill up for a vote. Many of us believe these senator’s place party ahead of our country and its needs.
