This Nov. 11, as we remember and thank the men and women who dedicate their lives to defending our country, let’s also commit to narrowing the justice gap that all too often can mean fighting altogether different battles on the home front.
Unlike the Republicans that are now outraged by what happened in one nursing home, the question of how to cast ballots for those on the edge is very personal to me.
McCarthy would be particularly proud of Michael Gableman, who, for the sheer audacity of his presentation to the Assembly Campaigns and Elections Committee on Wednesday, wins the McCarthyism award.
Gov. Tony Evers’ so-called People’s Maps are so awful even his fellow Democrats have rejected them.
Unemployment rate fell faster in 22 states that eliminated supplemental benefits early.
Watching the behavior of Judge Bruce Schroeder, one of Wisconsin’s most experienced and feisty trial judges, all I could think was the apology we all owe to actor Jeffrey Tambor.

What I have trouble forgetting is how that day underscored just how Trump and so many of his supporters have come to use the American flag as a prop for their false claims of patriotism.
Onerous rules in dire need of an update have created an unequal playing field that continues to hamper Central America’s ability to utilize the full benefits of duty-free trade.
Where the message of Democrats in Virginia was muddled and ineffectual, the message of parents in Mequon and Thiensville was clear and powerful.
The Biden administration’s plan to hand out $1 billion in checks to illegal immigrants isn’t sitting well with most Americans, according to a new poll.
In the wake of Virginia, if I were Bill McCoshen I might rethink my decision to pass on this race. A former Tommy Thompson administration official, McCoshen does share Glen Youngkin’s profile.
