President Donald Trump is pushing America toward a constitutional crisis. He has refused to comply with court orders requiring his administration to repatriate an immigrant who was wrongfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador without any due process. Our nation has thrived on a system of checks and balances for nearly 250 years. But it only works if the president follows the Constitution, and Trump doesn't appear to want to do that.

Bryan Steil, R-Janeville, has done little to distinguish himself from his predecessor (and former boss), Paul Ryan.

Donald Trump declared April 2, the day he announced new tariffs on just about every nation in the world, to be "Liberation Day."The new taxes on foreign goods have sent stock prices plummeting and thrown businesses into disarray. Shortly after the tariffs were imposed, hundreds of auto workers were placed on furlough. So far Trump's tariffs have only liberated workers from their paychecks and investors from their money.
