National Day of Prayer offers reminder that freedom requires gratitude, faith, and vigilance
The head of Realta Fusion says rising energy demand tied to data center expansion “provides a massive opportunity for fusion” even as public opinion has shifted to be more negative about these projects. Kieran Furlong, CEO of the Madison-based fusion
More than 1,600 of small bridges and culverts are in poor or severe condition. After years of work, a new platform, FixWIBridges.com, offers a transparent, user-friendly view of the problem.
This is not a moment for despair or division. It is a moment for resolve. We are in a democratic state of emergency, and the response must be peaceful, informed and proactive.
America faces a choice: Either it can have unrestrained partisan gerrymandering, or it can have a democratic republic. It can’t have both.
Both the left and the right have been lamenting the fact that Big Business has been granted a number of “subsidies” in the form of tax exemptions and tax credits. But are they really subsidies?
Findings from the first phase of the Dairy Soil & Water Regeneration project highlighted the direct benefits of sustainable land management on commercial dairy forage fields, according to a Mid-West Farm Report story.
A back-to-basics approach to learning: ‘The Digital Delusion’ reveals how students learn best, and it’s not through high-tech AI in classrooms.

Change the law so that custodians can charge location costs only if the records are produced within a strict deadline — perhaps 10 business days.
The slow-moving, inconvenient, expensive Madison-to-Milwaukee train idea is back.
Like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and California U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna at the federal level, she’s taking the AI debate seriously.
The bottom line is that it’s way too early to declare this a big victory for Republicans or even to claim with much confidence that it will reduce the number of Black representatives. And, if it makes us consider voters as individuals with a simple right to vote, rather than as faceless members of a bloc that votes all the same, so much the better. Now, that would be true progress.
