Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Trump arriving in Milwaukee with his “34 felony counts” for the Republican National Convention next month would increase the city’s crime rate. When
asked about reports that Trump said Milwaukee was a horrible city, Moore said, “Donald Trump is projecting on the city of Milwaukee horrible things that really pertain to his own character. I mean, he’s a horrible person. It’s not just these 34 felony counts, but he’s a sexual assaulter, and there are 54 more counts out against him for really trying to undermine...

Woodall, roundly criticized by conservatives for her handling (or mishandling) of the closely contested 2020 presidential election in battleground Wisconsin, will be replaced by her lieutenant, Paulina Gutierrez, according to...

The Milwaukee initiative has all the markings of ‘Bidenbucks,’ an executive order that threatens to transform federal agencies into a get-out-the-vote machine for Democrats. Just 16 percent of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) students can read and write at grade level. Only
12 percent are proficient in math in the swing state of Wisconsin’s largest school district. So why on earth is MPS prioritizing work with a Democrat-aligned activist organization aimed at turning out to the polls the 18-year-old students MPS has for so long failed? Why is the anti-voter ID group VoteRiders working with MPS faculty designated as “Voter Champions”...

President Joe Biden is aiming to use a visit to the battleground state of Wisconsin on Wednesday to spotlight a surge in federal government support for Black-owned small businesses during his White House tenure and to highlight his administration's efforts to ramp up investment in distressed communities.

Milwaukee County, Wisconsin’s Democrat district attorney refused to probe more than 350 potential cases of illegal voting, a new report found. After

Despite Democrats’ claim that this policy is a win for “democracy,” its major flaw is that it, as noted by...
