Members of the Wisconsin delegation have their differences on what trade policies work best, but it would be helpful if they agreed unilateral tariffs are a dangerous course.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck asks in light of last week’s G7 summit: Is fighting for dairy farmers bad trade policy?

The GOP record on transportation under Walker is “highlighted” by more roads in poor condition, a doubling of highway debt service and the basic unraveling of a bipartisan commitment to rebuild Eisenhower-era freeways that are unsafe and at the end of their useful lives.

Conservatives separating themselves and refusing to compete in the only relevant arena isn’t “playing,” it is “conceding.” Instead of grinding out a painful mediocrity of a show, we just need to hone our skills and compete on the progressives’ turf.

To the progressive leaders and activists who hope to replace the Republicans, what people need to hear from you is not just another recitation of the failures of Scott Walker and his gang, but rather how you intend to make Wisconsin better.

Constructive ideas to bolster our enrollment and enhance our revenue, coupled with smart reductions in spending, will point us forward.

Democrats flip a historically Republican State Senate seat in an election the embattled governor of Wisconsin tried to block.

When a Democratic candidate wins, it’s about the Wisconsin people, not the Democratic Party.

Despite Democrats capturing a State Senate seat they haven’t held for four decades, a Green Bay-based Republican strategist rejects the notion that the results of a pair of legislative special elections Tuesday foreshadow a “blue wave” of Democratic dominance coming in the fall elections.
