To me, the meeting to discuss the embarrassing failure of the Madison Metropolitan School District’s response to open records requests was an embarrassment itself.
Thank you for letting us join you for this amazing ride and for all of your warmth, generosity, support, and friendship.
We all have to get comfortable being in impolite company. That’s the only place we’ll ever find understanding. The only time fears can be put to rest. The only way hate might be disabled.
Regrettably, Tuesday’s settlement did not force Fox to confess on screen its sins of commission and omission.
Dan Shafer and Dan Kaufman discuss the race for state Supreme Court and what Janet Protasiewicz’s victory means for Wisconsin.
Looking ahead, we need the Legislature and its leadership to continue boldly partnering with law enforcement. Our departments are underfunded and our municipalities need more money to continue progressing against the violent criminals that terrorize our communities.
Recent reports on the trafficking of minors in the United States force us to confront our complicity in a grotesque injustice.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin has been spiraling since Reince Priebus left as Chairman to take over the RNC in 2011; only now, it seems, we have hit the iceberg dead on and are taking on water, big time.
Can Scott Walker lead the way to transforming the party’s aging demographics?
No, it’s the children who are wrong, they insist after another crappy candidate bombs.
Solving the “climate crisis” one reactor at a time.

Van Orden introduced legislation that would lead to deep cuts to programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
American democracy is too fragile to tolerate verbal bomb-throwing and hate messaging. With a return to civil dialogue, perhaps we can start to repair the deep damage done to democracy in America.
With the willful misuse of our public airwaves, a certain segment of the citizenry developed a false understanding of our electoral process of free and fair elections. Make no mistake about what happened. Democracy took a direct hit.
A better solution is to amend the U.S. Constitution to declare that corporations aren’t people and that campaign spending limits are legal.
The only way to stop the Republican bullies and their special interest, big-money allies like Wisconsin Manufacturing & Commerce is to hit back. Perhaps when they realize that both sides can throw a punch, we’ll revert to more civilized judicial campaigns.
An innocent mistake illustrates why “The Talk” remains necessary for Black and brown youth
Vouchers are largely tax subsidies for existing private school families, and a tax bailout for struggling private schools. They have harmful test score impacts that persist for years, and they’re a revolving door of school enrollment.
Senator Baldwin made the correct call about the F-35s. The vast majority of the voters across Wisconsin support the decision.
