The Wisconsin Supreme Court announced they had reached a decision to hear an original action brought forward by Planned Parenthood to “find” a right to abortion in the Wisconsin state constitution. The court also denied the motion of all three pro-life groups, Wisconsin Right to Life, Wisconsin Family Action, and Pro-Life Wisconsin to intervene in this case. They are being represented by The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) and the Thomas More Society. There is no right to abortion in the Wisconsin Constitution, and it is the role of Wisconsin’s elected representatives to create policy on abortion –...

resident Joe Biden is returning to swing state Wisconsin, with a stop in Madison on Friday. The visit comes on the heels of criticism of Biden’s performance in a debate last week against former President Donald Trump. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed the upcoming visit in a news briefing Tuesday, but the White House has yet to announce an exact location.

MADISON, Wis. -- President Joe Biden will make his second visit to Madison of 2024 on Friday, his campaign confirmed Tuesday. The White House is expected to formally announce the visit later Tuesday afternoon. Biden's visit comes on the heels of a debate performance that raised concerns among some voters and political analysts, and a decision by the Supreme Court that gave his opponent former President Donald Trump partial criminal immunity. The New York Times first reported Tuesday afternoon that Biden was planning to meet with Democratic governors in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Biden last visited Madison in April 2024, touting...

CV NEWS FEED // The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday that an order barring a pro-life protester from coming close to a Planned Parenthood nurse to protest violated his First Amendment free speech rights and must be overturned. Thomas More Society attorneys, representing pro-life advocate Brian Aish, achieved the unanimous victory, successfully overturning a previous court order that had barred Aish from approaching Planned Parenthood nurse Nancy Kindschy. In 2020, a Trempealeu County judge barred Aish from being near Kindschy, who worked in an abortion clinic in the western Wisconsin city of Blair. According to Associated Press, Aish reportedly told...

The Democratic Party is facing a potential crisis. Following Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, concerns about his fitness to serve have intensified. The debate has left the party in a state of panic, with whispers of Biden stepping down becoming louder. It has always been the plan from the start, which is why they scheduled the debate for this year unusually early. However, it may already be too late to remove Joe Biden from the ballot. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project is gearing up for a counter-fight should Democrats attempt to pull Biden off the top of...

The Heritage Oversight Project has identified three swing states – Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin – where they believe removing Biden from the Democratic ticket would prevent anyone else from replacing him. Wisconsin does not allow withdrawal from the ballot for any reason besides death, while in Nevada, no changes can be made to the ballotafter 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in June of an election year unless ‘a nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or mentally incompetent.’ In Georgia, if Biden were to withdraw less than 60 days before the election, his name would remain on the ballot but...

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday that an order barring an anti-abortion protester from coming close to a Planned Parenthood nurse violated his First Amendment free speech rights and must be overturned. The court, controlled 4-3 by liberals, ruled unanimously in ordering that the injunction be dismissed. A Trempealeu County judge in 2020 barred Brian Aish from being near nurse Nancy Kindschy who sometimes worked in a small family planning clinic in the western Wisconsin city of Blair. Kindschy said Aish threatened her by saying bad things would happen to her or her family if she didn't quit her...

More voters in six key swing states say they trust former President Donald Trump to do a better job than President Joe Biden handling threats to democracy in the U.S., according to a poll by The Washington Post. The Post's survey, conducted with the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, involved voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — all states Biden narrowly won in the 2020 election. Among the voters who participated in the survey, 64% were labeled "deciders" by the Post because they are sporadic or uncommitted voters who likely will play...

Accomplice media go all-in on ‘horrible’ Donald Trump story as they run interference for frozen, befuddled Biden.The same dishonest corporate media that want you to believe Joe Biden didn’t freeze up and had to be helped off the stage by a former president has spent an insane amount of time and energy this week reporting on Donald Trump’s thoughts on Milwaukee. “Donald Trump made a brazen bid for support in the vital swing state of Wisconsin on Tuesday by declaring his affection for its biggest population centre, Milwaukee, just days after denigrating it as a horrible city,” the Guardian reported....

Who can you put next to President Joe Biden that will make him look good? We know it’s not the G7, as Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni had to wrangle the US commander-in-chief when he threatened to drift away from the group of world leaders during a parachuting demonstration. And Saturday confirmed that former president Barack Obama isn’t the answer either, after grabbing his former VP by the wrist and guiding him by his shoulders off the stage at a Los Angeles event as Biden appeared to freeze for about five seconds. Biden’s handlers have already equipped him with special...

Former President Donald Trump is putting American workers first— unlike the incumbent leader in the White House now. Trump discussed the proposal of eliminating taxes on servers' tips in his pitch for a new policy position that could inch him closer to victory in November. The former president introduced the idea during a rally in Nevada over the weekend where many Americans work at hotels, restaurants, and in the entertainment business and rely on tips to make ends meet. “This is the first time I've said this and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to...

Experts believe there are only a handful of states that could plausibly be won by either Democratic President Joe Biden or his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump. Six of them - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – appear to be on a knife edge and probably hold the key to who will take the White House. So both parties are campaigning intensively to win over undecided voters in these states.

WAUPUN, WI - Megan Hoffman-Kolb has a lot to remember about her dad, Dean. "He was such a kind, compassionate man," Hoffman-Kolb said. "We would go to the grocery store, and he would strike up a conversation with anyone. He just took life really slow. If we were in the car and I was like, 'Dad, can you, like, hurry up,' he would slow down further. He was just a jokester like that." But she also remembers watching him struggle with his mental health. "I knew my dad when things were really good and we were able to spend the...

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges Tuesday against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump, including a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, submitted more than 9,000 signatures on Tuesday in an effort to force a recall election of Wisconsin’s top elected Republican after their first attempt fell short. They targeted Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the longest-serving Assembly speaker in Wisconsin history, after he refused to impeach the official who oversees the battleground state’s elections, angering Trump and his followers. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission must determine whether there are enough valid signatures to trigger a recall election. The panel rejected the first attempt for not having enough valid signatures....

Recall petitions against Representative Robin Vos are due today at the Wisconsin Elections Commission. This is the second effort by Vos opponents to recall the Republican Assembly Speaker. The first fell short of the signatures needed. If the signatures do get turned in, there are a series of deadlines, including an opportunity for Vos to challenge and for petitioners to respond. If the commission eventually finds the petitions sufficient, state law requires an election to be scheduled for the sixth Tuesday after that ruling. That would be August 6. If a primary is needed, it would be August 6 with...

‘There is no trail for requesting a ballot. … This would make the mail-in delivery system untraceable,’ Rep. Brandtjen warned.Three days after a Wisconsin judge slapped a temporary restraining order on the state’s election regulator, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) still wasn’t commenting about its latest legal scrape. But state lawmakers were — including the former chairwoman of the Assembly’s Elections Committee, who called WEC’s alleged violation of election law the “absentee ballot scandal of 2024.” As The Federalist first reported on Friday, Judge James Morrison issued the restraining order, enjoining WEC from requiring that Wisconsin’s approximately 1,900 local election...
