In 2006, trumped-up fraud charges were brought, and later dismissed, against a low-level state employee who had actually been appointed by a former Republican administration.

In advance of today’s plea hearing for Tim Russell, Scott Walker’s closest aide, Scott Walker has spent this week making antagonistic and self-serving claims questioning the judicial independence of the John Doe proceedings, and speculating that the criminal corruption probe is “winding down” – a statement dismissed by the judge overseeing the probe as “pure conjecture.”

Contrary to the wishful conjecture of Scott Walker, the corruption probe that has resulted in criminal charges to figures at the heart of his inner circle remains very much open.

One out of every five businesses in Wisconsin will lay off employees within the next six months, according to a new report.

Rep. Robin Vos is rapidly coming to understand the meaning of the phrase "be careful what you wish for." He’s been in charge of the Assembly Republicans for barely 24 hours, and he's already lost control of an un-hinged and out-of-touch caucus. The issue of the day for his members? Arresting the President.
