BREAKING: Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidates 1849 law that had been interpreted as banning all abortions except to save the life of the mother.

In her dissent, Justice Annette Ziegler called the ruling, "a jaw-dropping exercise of judicial will, placing personal preference over the constitutional roles of the three branches of our state government and upending a duly enacted law."

Julia Cowan... bled to death in a Boston hospital in 1929. “Like so many others, [my great-grandmother] died because society did not recognize her as someone with the ‘dignity and authority to make these choices,’” wrote Justice Jill Karofsky, who became chief justice yesterday.

The state of Wisconsin would pump more money into education and child care than Republicans wanted while cutting taxes deeper than Governor Tony Evers had proposed, under the $111.1B budget the state Senate signed off on today. Read more: wispolitics.com/2025/senate-ap…

Gov. Tony Evers early this morning signed a $111.1 billion budget less than an hour after it cleared the full Legislature as he and lawmakers raced to complete the document before Congress signed off on the reconciliation bill. Read more: wispolitics.com/2025/senate-ap…

The race to beat Congress was because a provision in the reconciliation bill would block a plan in the state budget to increase a hospital assessment to generate additional federal revenue that would then largely be sent back to hospitals.

Despite 25 years of doing this, 13 budgets and a couple repair bills, I'd never say I've seen it all. But a governor signing a budget at 1:30 am in a race with Congress definitely shortened the list of what I have yet to see. And with that, another wild Wisconsin budget ends.
