Reed conveyed the subtle art of de-escalation as a member of the Milwaukee Commandos, navigating tense situations with a calm and composed demeanor.

We cannot make Wisconsin the most restrictive boating state in the country. These patchwork regulations create confusion and confrontation.

Wisconsin has thrown that concept aside. Shameful, and against the public interest.

Tech billionaire made the election a referendum on Trump’s second term — and lost bigly.

What did we learn from last night’s results?

For all the deranged loathing of Donald Trump, it somehow seems the left hates Elon Musk even more!

Wisconsin’s state agencies’ performance is dismal according to their own metrics, but lawmakers on JFC missed their big opportunity to make the heads of those agencies answer for it.

Courts and carceral institutions must have standardized, reliable systems for recording, analyzing, and reporting data. Wisconsin’s municipal courts must be held to higher standards of transparency, and the state must implement policies that ensure courts are accountable to the communities they serve.

Trump administration’s bizarre sharing of U.S. battle plans involved use of Signal.

Many of Wisconsin’s Republican members of Congress are running for the hills.

Donald Trump’s reflexive response to the bombshell reporting that his cabinet endangered national security by sharing military secrets via a leaked online chat was utterly predictable. He tried to shoot the messenger.

Financial smarts have been missing in the Trump/Musk blunderbuss approach to getting our deficits and debts under control.

As a 35-year veteran of Wisconsin’s import-export economy told a group of entrepreneurs meeting this month in Milwaukee, the numbers still dictate that small and mid-sized companies should think seriously about markets beyond American borders.

In Wisconsin, that national lens has turned what might otherwise be a lower-profile judicial election into an ideological battlefield.

Think about what real problems that much money could solve across our state. Mental health services in schools. Affordable housing initiatives. Child care support. Job training programs.

Meth is injected, smoked, snorted or ingested in just about every corner of Wisconsin. But by at least one measure the insidious problem is worse in two adjacent counties — Brown and Outagamie — than anywhere else.

Supporting the proposed Wisconsin Community Solar Policy would bring energy independence, economic stability, meaningful savings, and smart land use to communities like ours across the state.

School districts that rely heavily on federal partnerships to maintain equitable learning conditions and modern facilities would likely face an uphill battle, and higher education institutions might be forced to scale back affordability measures.

The state’s unions look back on the past 14 years from a place of both promise and great danger.

What do the polls show? How big will turnout be?
