It’s no secret that Dane County has a strong economy, but the unprecedented federal funding made available by the Biden administration for manufacturing and clean energy projects means new opportunities for economic development in Dane County and the surrounding region.
The record crowds and enthusiasm were palpable in an atmosphere rarely seen in college basketball. The only difference this year was that unbridled fandom was in women’s basketball.
The message from voters in Wisconsin’s spring election is loud and unmistakable.
The way we vote is changing and conservatives need to adapt.
Trump and his allies want to subvert Wisconsin’s vote.
His latest attempt at election bribery isn’t just self-defeating in its purported aim to make higher education more affordable; it is also a dubious political calculation.
DEI, short for diversity, equity and inclusion, has been at the forefront of the culture wars for at least three years now, its roots in the right-wing Texas Legislature where GOP lawmakers claimed the state’s universities were brainwashing faculty and students over race and social justice.

Empowering Wisconsin’s working class with working-class elected leaders.
Last week the centrist, bipartisan organization No Labels labelled its attempt to find a unity ticket a failure.
College costs are outrageous. But free loans are a figment of the imagination.
The platform of the Democratic Party can be summarized in three words: More Free Stuff. While we were distracted by the partial eclipse of the sun Monday, the President of the United States dropped out of the sky to reinforce that single truth here in Madison.
The Arizona state Supreme Court upheld a Civil War-era law that bans abortion in all cases, at any stage of pregnancy, except when it’s necessary to save the mother’s life.
