Medicaid unwinding is proceeding differently in Wisconsin because the Evers administration has common sense and a heart.

Dozens of states have expanded Medicaid since the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Many of them expanded with bipartisan support. But not Wisconsin.

In today’s debate about inclusion in athletic competition, we cannot ignore concerns related to fairness, physical advantage, and the preservation of opportunities for female athletes.

The partial veto should be scrapped or constrained as part of an array of reforms that reset the relationship between governor and Legislature and restore democracy to state elections.

The institution of chattel slavery did nothing to benefit the enslaved; the only beneficiaries were plantation owners and the global economy that was fueled by the forced labor of the enslaved.

Democratic strategists really want Pres. Joe Biden to have a rematch with Donald Trump next year. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.

It’s not one I want to live in.

Acclaimed Washington journalists Judy Woodruff and Al Hunt will appear at our fundraiser at Cap Times Idea Fest with David Maraniss moderating.

Beginning next week, extremist leftists will control two of Wisconsin’s three branches of government when activist Justice Janet Protasiewicz takes her seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

As the use of solar panels on agricultural land proliferates in the future, the two forms of gathering energy from the sun will need to become increasingly complementary.

For the moment, Duluth has a distinct edge – but Superior is planning ways to come back.

I am proud of the budget that was passed by the Assembly and the State Senate, but I am also disappointed by the governor’s vetoes.

Two of the more popular, unbiased and scientific pollsters released new polls with information on potential key issues for the upcoming election season.

Conservatives from the echo chambers of right-wing media to the Wisconsin Assembly floor exploit their viewers’ deepest fears and ugliest prejudices to create an alternate universe where metro areas serve as horror-scapes of unrest, criminals lurk around every corner, and violence upon you and your loved ones is not a possibility but an inevitability.

Trump’s bitter enders are resisting the Republican party’s about-face on early, mail-in voting. They want to fire ball and cap at an enemy flying F-35s.
