Charlie Kirk was engaged in free and open debate on the issues of our time where it mattered most: on our blinkered college campuses.

Charlie Kirk was a great American. He was passionate about his faith, family and freedom. Although his death is tragic, his legacy will live on; it must live on.

So far, the president’s disaster declaration applies to Milwaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties, but not Door, Grant or Ozaukee, according to Gov. Tony Evers’ office.

Less than 48 hours in, while we have seen examples of condolences or grief, too much of the discourse following Mr. Kirk’s death has amounted to points scored in an endless online game.

As soon as the news broke that Kirk was shot while on stage at Utah Valley University, Van Orden began a stream of increasingly unhinged social media posts blaming Democrats and the media for the murder and declaring “the gloves are off.”

Could governor soften his view of new federal channel for donors’ generosity?

For our Wisconsin businesses to thrive, we need a workforce that knows the languages of our partners, navigates cultural differences, and excels in building global partnerships.

The Supreme Court insists the Constitution is colorblind. But its ruling in a case about ICE roundups proves the opposite: it sees color very clearly.
