It’s been two years since Cooperative Extension, Wisconsin Public Radio and PBS Wisconsin were formally reincorporated into UW–Madison.

If five Democrats in Washington can’t even find the courage to stand up for defenseless infants, they don’t deserve to be in Congress and must face political consequences in the 2022 midterm elections.

Hair braiding, in a business setting, should have some regulation or requirements.

The top news out of the Wisconsin Republican convention last weekend was Trump’s attack on our state GOP leaders and their groveling response.

Here’s the news flash: Robin Vos isn’t rightwing enough for some in his own caucus.

Given how the majority party in the statehouse handled the array of issues presented to them in the budget Evers has only one path to take.

The state Legislature this week takes up a Republican budget proposal that delivers $3.4 billion in tax cuts and has been described as the most conservative spending plan in a decade. And liberals just might vote for it.

In the last year, the federal government funneled over $40 billion into Wisconsin in the name of COVID relief.

American bishops, including Hying, are making it clear that they believe the church should indeed pressure Catholic elected officials to adhere to their often hypocritical doctrine or face the consequences.

By any measure, Baldwin ranks high on the list of the most successful political figures in the history of Wisconsin.

Creating the dental therapy profession in Wisconsin would improve oral health for disadvantaged populations and create jobs without additional costs to taxpayers.

The Pollinator Protection Package takes important steps to limit the insecticides used by state agencies, greenhouses and local governments to promote healthy populations of pollinators for years to come.

Republican legislators have put Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Democratic lawmakers up for reelection next year in a position where voters might ask them “Why did you veto or vote against a $3.4 billion tax cut?”
