However you decide to Do Dairy Month Differently, take some time this month to think about the importance of dairy – and all of agriculture – in our communities.

For our economy to safely recover and thrive, every individual, business owner, faith leader, community leader, and others should do their part to make responsible choices to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic is shedding light on the prevalence of childhood trauma, but it also presents an opportunity to promote strategies that foster resilience in youth.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debate what Tom Tiffany’s special election victory in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District means for President Trump’s election prospects in November.

Rather than hyperpartisans, those most likely to buy conspiracies are those who don’t follow the news and assume it will “find them,” suggests new UW-Madison research.

Three virtual meetings included about 350 faculty and staff stakeholder participants.

This decision was a significant victory for the regulated community and all citizens in a time when agency rulemaking avoidance and overreach is becoming ubiquitous at both the federal and state levels.

As our state opens up, let’s honor the people who have suffered from this virus by accepting its invitation to connect.

As the outlines of a broader recovery plan emerge, state policymakers should be careful not to conclude that tech businesses will simply take care of themselves.

Get ready for a very ugly presidential campaign, with Wisconsin in the center of the mud wrestling.

The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes that we must do even more to improve how U.S. health care is delivered and financed. The only way the ACA will be maintained as a foundation for these efforts — regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, is to elect Vice President Joe Biden to the presidency, Democratic majorities in the Senate and the House, and moderate candidates to state offices.

Ascension Health and 19 other health care giants grab $5 billion in federal funds while smaller hospitals get little.

Each year when baseball season came around, for me everything was all right again in the world. It sure isn’t now.

The Milwaukee Brewers and the rest of Major League Baseball should skip this season.

Had his position carried the day, make no mistake, we would all still be in lockdown.

Supreme Court justice seems like a true conservative, not a right-wing activist.

Our nation had officially passed 100,000 deaths as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We knew this news was coming, and yet it hits hard.

Florida, Texas and a host of other states run by politicians who proclaim their opposition to big government have been milking the feds for decades.

Many of our farm families and small business owners feel like they are on life support right now. It is understandable. We are all seeking restoration of opportunities lost to COVID-19. Just as we now have a new appreciation for what is essential, we also have a deeper appreciation for what is truly important in our lives. We know we must be better prepared for what lies ahead. There is no better way to do so than to learn the essential lessons of today.

We have a chance right now to renew civil society, strengthen our social fabric, revitalize localism and show our political elites that we can indeed govern ourselves. This is a time to look at society in new ways and build new technologies that facilitate associations and community and not just promote either the collectivism of the state or individualism.
