Two well-credentialed candidates rooted in the WOW counties have stepped forward to run as Republicans for governor of Wisconsin in 2026. Both would be a breath of fresh air in a party that has lost its way from its fundamental principles in the chaotic perfect storm of the Trump era.
The rule of law is not a political instrument. Not for lefties lionizing Dugan for resisting immigration authorities. Not for righties celebrating Dugan being perp-walked without an indictment. Deep breaths, everyone. Follow the legal process.
To best support the health of children in Wisconsin and across the country, we must protect Medicaid.
David Remnick, longtime editor of the venerable magazine The New Yorker, did a masterful job in a recent issue comparing Donald Trump’s first days in office with Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first days back in 1933.
The sweeping tariffs imposed by the current administration are already fueling inflation, disrupting supply chains, and pushing small businesses to the brink. Local retailers, independent producers and small manufacturers — the very backbone of our neighborhoods — are being hit hardest.
Did you hear the one about the felon with the stolen gun?
Welcome to a stunning paradoxical moment in local politics: At a time of soaring voter turnout and clear signs that Madison is approaching a milestone in population growth, we have an enfeebled political discussion. Wherein a lot of smart people are hiding in the bushes rather than running for office or at least stirring the pot.
It is not hard to empathize with the ‘where do I go now’ feeling residents near to Truax Field are experiencing with the bureaucratic hurdles when trying to find funding for noise abatement due to F-35 jets.

Keeping people informed in an increasingly difficult task as government officials impose new restrictions on media access.
Trump’s bully-boy tactics are making him politically toxic on the international stage. And they are doing the same thing at home.
Football isn’t just a game, Trump isn’t just the president.
Buying local is patriotic, and good for you and the local farmers who are your neighbors.
It shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be that way.
It’s long past time to stop the warp speed race to cruelty and misery. Stand up for rural Wisconsin or the sick will suffer and others will die needlessly.
ROFR laws in Wisconsin are sensible for customers because the electric grid of the future will be built quicker and more affordably.
The congressman has been a no-show at town hall meetings, unwilling to face constituents demanding answers to their sudden misfortune.
Rather than opposing the overwhelmingly popular demands of their students at every turn, only releasing weakly worded statements when they feel the government has gone too far, we call on universities to be accountable to their students and actively fight against state repression.
