Former UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank, who died Friday, had a huge and successful impact on the university, driven by a rare blend of virtues.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is due for a reset.

Blogger David Blaska shares his predictions for Tuesday’s primary.

A lot of Wisconsin Republican leaders ought to be embarrassed by reports about how they strategized to suppress the vote in Milwaukee’s minority communities this past fall.

Remembering Andre Leon Talley.

The greatest threat from China is economic. That requires stronger U.S. competition – not war.

After a long off-season the national pastime will soon be back in the swing of things — and a request for more public funds is warming in the bullpen to help the Milwaukee Brewers and their wealthy ownership group finance the looming upgrades to American Family Field.

Could this put a potential “Beer District” in jeopardy?

This would be hard enough to swallow if the Brewers’ owners were investing in their own ball club and trying to reward their loyal fans with a pennant. Instead they’re taking us for bush leaguers. Evers is proving that we are.

Mobile Wisconsinites can establish residency in Florida or elsewhere – and minimize their tax bill – more rapidly than many believe.

Gov. Tony Evers’ proposal to use part of the record-breaking $7 billion state budget surplus to restore funding for Wisconsin public schools should not be a partisan issue.
