John Nichols: What Mandela Barnes knows about Wisconsin
The work Barnes and Evers did to build up Democratic support in non-urban areas was essential to their narrow win in 2018.
Doug Moe: Saying ‘so long’ to the Avenue Bar

Dan Shafer: ‘It means more’: Giannis and the Bucks deliver defining moment for resilient Milwaukee

John Torinus: Whither go the 13 UW Colleges across the state?
A recent commentary in the Daily News reported that I implied in a recent column “that, perhaps the two-year colleges were no longer a necessary part of the University System.” I must have been unclear in what I wrote because just the opposite is true about how I look at the future of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee at Washington County.
Ruth Conniff: Who’s got Evers fever?
The governor is campaigning on a tax cut neither he nor most Wisconsinites wanted — that’s nothing to get hot and bothered about
