  • Francesca Hong: ‘This was an execution’

    In WI governor’s race, Defund Police is back in play. Here we go again. Another white cop, another dead black man. Cue The Resistance. How many days before a mural dedicated to the latest undeserving martyr is splattered on a Madison WI wall? How many more events disrupted like last night’s Concerts on the Square?…

  • WI governor’s race coming down to Hong vs Stop-Hong

    and Paul Fanlund v John Nichols. Like any public opinion poll, there’s enough wiggle room to satisfy Harry Truman’s two-handed economist* in the latest Marquette Law School poll released today.
