I believe deeply in America’s greatness, but not as a slogan that looks backward. I believe in the greatness that moves us forward toward a more inclusive, just and faithful expression of our democratic ideals
As we celebrate 250 years of our democracy, we need to step back and appreciate how fortunate we are to live in such an amazing country.
While the Trump administration hopes their war on mail-in ballots will combat election fraud, in Wisconsin, this war will help Democratic candidates at the expense of Republican candidates.
We mark a milestone this week that once seemed impossible: the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
The capacity to work together to solve problems — not reveling in some fleeting thrill of attacking others — will make or break the country’s future.
For the first time in the history of this greatest nation in the history of the world, there are massive numbers of Americans who no longer believe in the principles of the Founders.
In 1777, facing an outbreak of smallpox that threatened his troop’s combat readiness, General George Washington ordered that the Continental Army be inoculated against smallpox.
There’s a particular rot in American politics that doesn’t come from policy differences, but rather from the partisan-grade production of false narratives.
Community pushback against a massive solar development in St. Croix county just revealed how little local input is worth when it gets in the way of a utility’s renewable energy goals.
More than a third of Dane County households are struggling to afford basic needs, and it’s not for lack of effort.
Longtime journalist, theater and film critic passes away at age 84.
If the winner of the primary for lieutenant governor is not the governor’s preferred candidate, they often get sidelined.
Democrats attack each other. And did one of them leak story to Journal Sentinel?
Gubernatorial fashion choices are painting Tom Tiffany as the normal guy running against a bunch of college kids at a frat party.
Democrats seem destined to handcuff themselves in this fall’s midterm elections over an intraparty divide between its far left and moderate factions.
Today’s Democratic Party is a civil war zone. Socialist revolutionaries are storming the winter palace.
District 17 needs leadership that understands economic development, affordability, agriculture, health care, education, and local control. Western Wisconsin deserves a senator who has worked in these communities and understands their challenges firsthand.
Steil’s Voter ID Act, along with his authoring of the SAVE Act, isn’t meant to secure elections. It is meant to ensure certain Americans cannot access the ballot easily.
Tony Evers is claiming disaster over the prospect that temporary federal funds intended to seed state-run water bank programs might be terminated. But Wisconsin’s fund is not only worth millions, it’s one of the best in the country.
As America approaches its 250th birthday, we should remember that every generation is called upon to build something lasting. For ours, that means building an energy system that is affordable, reliable, resilient and capable of powering Wisconsin’s economy for decades to come.
