Dear media, real pro-Trump Taylor Swift fans do exist.

Her words were stirring. Now Kamala Harris needs to back speech rhetoric with details.

I plan to amend the bill to explicitly state that nothing in the legislation should be construed to change or modify any existing treaty obligation.

Inflation is a very simple concept and yet almost everyone gets its wrong. This misunderstanding is the result of a concerted effort to confuse the public and prevent blame from being assigned to those responsible for its creation.

The women’s liberation movement had a bevy of female writers whose works created shifts in political and social circles alike. Here are five books by authors I found worthwhile.

“Renewable” power such as wind and solar might not use fuel, but they use a lot of land, and solar uses it exclusively.

My fear is that our current moment in immigration will flavor the kind of immigration reform we get. In the interest of compromise to get something – anything – done, reform will not be enough about the changes that make our policies humane and practical for the economy and immigrants, but about a show of strength that is better politics than policy.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss how recent primary results may impact the general election and legislative control. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

Democrats are declaring the Biden administration’s first round of price caps on prescription drugs a victory for patients. But neither the price controls nor other drug provisions under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act are anything to celebrate.

Both parties had successful conventions. Only 80 miles apart on the shores of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee and Chicago, both even enjoyed the cool breezes and clear, blue skies of a Great Lakes summer.

The radicals assembled in Chicago this week under the banner of joy and hope, but their rhetoric was filled with anger and hatred. Their actions and proposals, however, are far worse for the future of America.

Epic’s User Group Meeting annually offers a themed surprise for thousands of visitors, so it was no shock when founder Judy Faulkner appeared on stage Aug. 20 in the company’s Deep Space Auditorium dressed as “Lady Swan,” a variation on Mother Goose and in keeping with a larger story-telling motif.

Gus Walz loves his dad. That should have been clear to anyone — Republican, Democrat, or independent — who saw him sob as his dad, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, accepted the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nomination Wednesday night.

Tim Cullen, the longtime Democrat from Janesville who in between his terms in the state Legislature agreed to serve as Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson’s health and social services secretary, has a new book out that makes it clear why gerrymandering is so repugnant to good government.

The Wisconsin State Journal editorial board is wrong to call for the closure of Waupun and Green Bay correctional institutions because the buildings are old and that’s causing staffing issues and problems.

Wisconsin primary voters turn out at a six-decade high.

The primary is over, and the march to Nov. 5 took another turn last week, narrowing the field in key races across the state.
