With this year’s Democratic National Convention largely a virtual affair, do you think Joe Biden will see his polling numbers improve?
Donald Trump will risk anyone’s life but his own to create the illusion of normalcy — but that doesn’t excuse anyone else. Kudos to UW’s Barry Alvarez and the Big Ten Conference for being the adults in the room.
The Democratic National Convention ended last night without a single major speaker ever setting foot in the city.
The former vice president helped lead America out of the darkness once before. He can do it again.

$50 billion has gone to help Wisconsin agriculture, but the food industry has eliminated “hero” pay for grocery workers. Bring it back, say farmers.
Let’s put an end to gerrymandering and restore power back to the people of Wisconsin like we did in the Progressive Era when Wisconsin was known as the Laboratory of Democracy.
