According to a press release, the protest aims to “show solidarity for the first King of the United States and to call for an official coronation, paid for exclusively with tax dollars that could be used to support ‘woke’ programs such as Social Security and Medicare.” The statement clarifies that the “Yes Kings” protest not in support of a monarchy per se, but rather in support of “the abolishment of all three branches of government and any checks and balances that may contribute to a fair and just system.”

UW Madison’s chapter of the Young Republicans announced today that they will be hosting a “Yes Kings” protest at the State Capitol building next weekend to show their public support for authoritarianism and government overreach, as well as to “own the libs”, after the recent “No Kings”...

Perhaps you were a Dejope Dookier, Sellery Sh***er, or a Chadbourne Crapper that unleashed an Adams Abomination, a Merit Monster, or a Bradley Beast upon your poor, unsuspecting dorm bathroom and the weary, underpaid immigrant janitors. In a few dorms, it was a more personal issue; a Lowell Log could only be the fault of you or your roommate(s). Awkward! Imagine having to take responsibility for ruining common spaces. Couldn’t be most of you. And in this case, one of you has unfortunately made the mistake of victimizing a Misnomer writer. A big, stinky mistake.

Madison, WI - In what is seen as a completely expected and spineless move by many members of the faculty and student body, effective immediately, grants for all campus organizations will be revoked as the university seeks to redirect even more funds towards Israel, which in turn will be used to buy brand new weapons to be tested exclusively on Palestinian children. This effort comes into effect after a ceasefire accord has been reached between the two nations, but Israel continues to receive more funding from many colleges and universities across the country with the express purpose of resuming the genocide, and to further raze Gaza to the ground.

Republican Curtis Sliwa becomes the city’s first Muslim mayor and its youngest in generations. The 34-year-old state lawmaker harnessed enthusiasm and social media savvy to become a rising star in the party, but his candidacy sparked an ideological divide.
He defeated independent candidate and former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who attempted a political comeback four years after resigning in scandal.
President Donald Trump, who has long inserted himself in the politics of his hometown, followed the race closely. The president frequently dismissed Mamdani by falsely labeling him as a communist and said he would withhold funds from the city if he wins. He endorsed Cuomo on the eve of the election, bypassing Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

MADISON, WI - At the Misnomer, we’re committed to bringing you the real stories on campus, the ones students care about but the mainstream media refuses to cover. We get our boots dirty, scouring the gritty underbelly of Madison, crawling through the steam tunnels, seeking out the sources that those in power desperately want to stay hidden. So when we heard about the chance to interview the legendary Kyle Thompson of the Beta Omicron Beta fraternity, who ascended to fame after recently being shot in the ear on Langdon, we couldn’t resist. And when we heard that other, inferior publications on campus were too busy writing about trivial topics like “federal funding freezes” and “gerrymandering”, we knew we would be the first to get this exclusive interview. Here is the raw, unedited transcript of our interview.

We gathered in our situation room, which just so happens to be a supply closet, patiently contemplating our next move in the wild west of suspicious package news on campus. We reached out to UWPD’s police chief almost immediately for comment, and after our fourth email explaining that we only wanted to know more about the volume of emails students could expect, they finally gave us an answer.

Following last week’s barrage of emails about suspicious packages around campus, students of all majors and backgrounds are eagerly waiting for one thing: “When can I expect the new suspicious package email to hit my inbox?” Well, have no fear, because we here at the Misnomer have the inside s...

MADISON, WI - Controversy struck campus over the weekend as UW-Madison’s Facilities Planning and Management Division announced plans to build a Walmart Supercenter on land currently occupied by the Lakeshore Nature Preserve (LNP). The store, which would lie along the Lakeshore Path adjacent to Eagle Heights Graduate Housing, is expected to cover 180,000 square feet with a 900-spot parking lot. Campus leaders believe it will provide a much-needed source of cheap groceries and general shopping near the Lakeshore neighborhood, but critics are raising flags about the potential environmental impacts.
