The out of state billionaire Uihleins just bankrolled the Wisconsin College Republicans!

Good grief, Wisconsin.

An AI tool used to help ICE identify potential new recruits with law enforcement experience wrongly categorized some potential new officers, sources say

2015 Wisconsin Flashback

"Tom Tiffany is the state legislator environmentalists love to hate."

He hasn't changed. Has Wisconsin?

Tiffany has been a lightning rod on environmental issues
The Republican state senator has quickly emerged as a major power in environmental politics, advancing policies that favor business and property owners.

I'm so old I remember when every Wisconsin Republican congressmen voted for a 10 year moratorium on state-level AI regulation (Big Beautiful Bill) and then didn't pass any protections.

And Tom Tiffany wants to be the next governor? 🤣

BREAKING: Trump admin just started the process to strip protections from 225,000 acres near the Boundary Waters—exploiting a technicality to hand public land to foreign mining corps.

We've fought battles like this for 50 years. We've WON for 50 years.

They picked the wrong wilderness.

LFG, Wisconsin!

Wisconsin is the only state in America that doesn't record its legislators in action.

Our Republican lawmakers refused to help.

They didn't support transparency after all 🙄

Every single Wisconsin lawmaker, no matter the party, should support the bill AB816 to get Wisconsin Eye back up and running.
