Warns against fealty to Trump, whose backers are already attacking Ryan.

The true cost of our wars is rarely considered.

“The Arsenal of Democracy” is an outstanding and enthralling book that provides a great reminder of the importance of industrial capacity and how this is a national attribute that is often overlooked as a key component of national defense, but it shouldn’t be.

The sad fact is that if the world’s inclination to settle disputes by going to war results in the use of a nuclear weapon, we won’t have enough people to decorate all the graves.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider whether the UW Board of Regents plans to keep former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson as interim UW-System president, now that Gov. Tony Evers’ appointees have control.

Can mainstream white Republicans come to recognize the toxic threat that racism poses to the country? Looking at how the different tribes tell baseball hero Hank Aaron’s story illustrates the divide.

When nurses have a union voice, patients get better care, and we can recruit and retain the health care workforce we need moving forward.

Wisconsin’s K-12 schools have received more than $2.6 billion in federal COVID relief over the run of the pandemic — an unprecedented amount of funding. With that in mind, Republican members of the Joint Finance Committee on Thursday hit the brakes on Gov. Tony Evers’ massive state education spending plan.

I wish I could say that former House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke truth to power. But power won’t pay any attention.

The new Marshall Plan concept would mobilize resources from all levels of government.

What was Mark Born thinking when he rejected the modest state allocation for Wisconsin’s Black Historical Museum?

Businesses struggling to hire should focus on making their wages more attractive.

There is just no debate: Climate change is here, and it’s time our state takes meaningful action to minimize impacts on our health, our property and our way of life.

As President Joe Biden creates the worst humanitarian crisis of our times at the U.S. border with Mexico, his allies in congress have rejected U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s amendment calling for the completion of the approximately 250 miles of unfinished border wall.

For too long Johnson has deceived and manipulated the truth, and purposely misled and distorted facts for his odd and strange designs. So no one can believe that his desire for truth now is based on, well, truth.

Many have said it: Gun violence is a stain on the American character or, as President Biden said in April, an “international embarrassment.” No two words demonstrate just how deep is the stain than these: legally purchased.

RightWisconsin’s James Wigderson joins Charlie Sykes on the Bulwark Podcast to discuss the past and present of the Republican Party in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin needs to do more about police violence.

The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, established by a former GOP governor and a former Democratic governor, has been around since 1989 and has set aside thousands of acres across the state.

Our rights are being erased as punishment for exercising our rights.
