A lawsuit by Wisconsin Dairy Alliance and the Venture Dairy Cooperative has spotlighted yet another tactic progressives use to bypass democratic governance.

Free speech is a wonderful American value, but with it comes responsibility.

Regardless of how Trump wishes to abolish ‘wokeness,’ the fabric of our nation’s history remains touched by the bloodshed from Black and brown bodies that has yet to be made whole to this day.

Not for the first time, I stress that what is happening to a very troubling degree is more than Donald Trump’s autocratic ambitions. What should stir our righteous indignation is the institutional surrender that has enabled him.

Politics, history, medicine: Idea Fest’s Wednesday night lineup is one you will not want to miss.

The Wisconsin congressional delegation stood up as Wisconsinites asking FEMA for aid after terrible floods. Why not continue doing that? Stop listening to Trump. Do your jobs. Listen to rural, urban and suburban working people.

At a time when trust in public institutions is at an all-time low, the city of Madison needs to see this as a wake-up call.

Beginning with the class of 2028, all high school students in Wisconsin must complete at least one semester of personal financial literacy to earn a diploma.

40 years ago it was worth three times more. What happened?

Workers at many nonprofits are under-paid and overworked, with high turnover.

If eco-radicals get their way, natural resources will have legally personhood and constitutional rights. Those rights will trump ours.

Peace through strength works.

How far and fast we’ve fallen. This beautiful city is beleaguered by Trump’s malice and military. Others may not be far behind. Trump is the un-American president.

This week’s parade of European leaders at the White House felt less like a diplomatic summit and more like a coronation ceremony.

Biometrica’s offer to Milwaukee is not a neutral tool — it’s a step toward a dystopian future.
