Vos eventually found his spine and fired Gableman. Too little. Too late. And definitely not enough to absolve him of blame in this mess.

Ridglan Farms could face criminal charges as well as regulatory consequences.

Early childhood education is a springboard to lifelong success for kids. It’s a necessity for many parents to participate in the workforce and a lifeline to businesses who depend on a deep talent pool.

If Trump’s tariffs return, Wisconsin will pay a steeper price than neighboring Minnesota.

I want to speak a word of sympathy for the hard-pressed attorneys now working for the U.S. Department of Justice. It seems they are losing most of the cases they argue on behalf of the current administration, and, according to their boss, the attorney general, it’s because they aren’t “zealous” enough.

In multiple instances, Trump simply is not following the court orders or rulings and thereby is not allowing the process of our Constitutional checks and balances to work.

If you think this is just a phase and that Trump will settle down once he’s made the changes he wants, I wouldn’t count on that. Trump’s chaos is not part of a process — it’s the whole point.

The current system breeds contempt and the perception — if not the reality — of unfairness, simply because it’s so opaque. Simplicity has rewards that far outweigh any benefit from any tax loophole designed to engineer some sort of social or economic behavior.

Wisconsin was recently Ground Zero for the latest fight in the nation’s culture wars over the use of the language ‘inseminated person.’

The Republican Party of Wisconsin is cracking down on anti-Vos election deniers and took a sideways slap at Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, which is seen as attempting a hostile takeover.

Finding the causes of autism isn’t just about saving the children. It’s an important mission that will help expose the paradigm of lies used for decades by the medical establishment and the federal government to kill medical freedom and to undermine a healthy America.

Trump administration fired the entire federal staff responsible for administering the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps millions of families afford heat and electricity

Whatever combination of elements has placed our nation in the throes of political violence, one thing is strikingly clear. This violence must be denounced in the strongest way possible. The legal process must be relentless in applying punishment for those who use violence against politicians or their families.

President Trump is claiming the power to ignore the due process law guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution.

Our nation’s founders knew that a free press was the key to our democracy. Trump knows it’s the biggest threat to his would-be dictatorship.

Since the Department of Education was created, America has experienced stagnant or declining performance on national tests like the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Partisanship has reared its unconstructive head in recent years, and now uncertainty about the flow of funds for conservation reigns in how federal and state funds will be dispersed for the balance of 2025 and beyond.

If you make less than $48,000 per year, the state of Wisconsin will pay to have you sterilized.

I am incredibly proud of the work that is being done at Lake Lawn and Delavan Lake Resort, but I know that we can’t continue to grow without the support of critical tax provisions like bonus depreciation, the like-kind exchange and the small business deduction.

For nearly five decades, the NAACP’s Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics has served as a beacon of excellence for African American high school students across the nation.
