Bruce Murphy: Tom Tiffany’s on a roll. It’s not good.
In his unscripted moments, Tiffany has looked foolish in recent weeks. It’s hard to pick the worst of his stumbles.

Dave Cieslewicz: Moderate Dems may slump toward defeat
The eight candidate Democratic field is divided into two camps: those with a better than even chance of defeating Tiffany and those whose chances are less than 50%. But it’s the two most risky candidates — Francesca Hong and Barnes — who are leading the pack right now.

James Wigderson: Tiffany considering supporting pallets of cash for January 6 defendants
And a Wisconsin fake elector plotter is asking for a payout

Tyler August: Compromise shouldn’t be a dirty word in Wisconsin politics
The bill negotiated between Gov. Tony Evers and Republican legislative leadership focused on issues that matter to families across our state. Sadly, we watched nearly every Democrat in the Legislature reject this deal simply because election-year politics and extreme ideologies don’t allow for bipartisan cooperation.

Tom Still: Americans hate AI more than others, even as they keep using it
Why are many Americans so scared or even angry about AI, even when people in China, India, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia and many other countries outside Europe are not?

Brian Fraley: Wisconsin within America’s first 250 years: Our stories deserve to be told
For nearly four centuries, Wisconsin has shaped the American story. Not quietly or from the sidelines, but from the center of the action.

Masood Akhtar: Muslim Americans: A vital part of America’s success
The attempt to marginalize Muslims or portray them as less American betrays the very ideals upon which this nation was built. Muslims are not a burden on America. Muslims are part of America’s strength. They have helped make this nation more compassionate, more innovative, more resilient and more prosperous.

Scott Mayer: America can’t ignore immigrant labor shortage
America’s immigration debate often gets framed as a choice between security and compassion. It doesn’t have to be. We can secure our border while also recognizing a simple economic reality: The United States needs workers, and most of those workers are immigrants.

Mitchell A. Sobieski: The forgotten middle
How America abandoned cities like Milwaukee that built the working middle class

Mark Belling: State Democrat bosses panic over Francesca Hong
They think the front-running candidate for governor is too radical to win the general election.

Dave Zweifel: Ads paint a folksy image, but he’s still ‘Toxic Tom’
While “Toxic Tom” may have milked a few cows in his youth, he sure hasn’t been much of a champion for Wisconsin’s farmers during his six years in Congress representing the state’s 7th Congressional District.

Scott Allen: MPS is doomed to failure without external intervention
For the educational establishment and their advocates, there is never enough money. For the rest of Wisconsin, we expect better results with the money spent.

Sherry Reams, Mark Rice, Joyce Ellwanger and Harlan Richards: Wisconsin clemency debate: Who deserves a second chance?
Wisconsin leaders are debating who in prison should qualify for clemency. A one-size-fits-all approach risks ignoring rehabilitation and growth with age.

James E. Causey: America’s reparations hypocrisy is impossible to ignore
The racial wealth and education gaps created during slavery and segregation still exist today. That is the part of America many people still refuse to confront.

Michael Rosen: Anti-union monopoly power kills an iconic Milwaukee industry
Attacks on packinghouse workers’ unions and the increased economic concentration of meatpacking firms are bad for workers, ranchers and consumers.

John Nichols: No mention of Gaza in the DNC’s 2024 autopsy? Seriously?
Too many Democrats still refuse to acknowledge how gravely the party was harmed by a failure to actively oppose genocide.

Dave Cieslewicz: The YSDA ’24 postmortem report
The DNC’s report is useless because it doesn’t even begin to address what’s fundamentally wrong with the party.

Steven Walters: Wisconsin Republicans have plan to win in November
Top officials outlined their game plan; it’s about key issues and striking first.

Spencer Black: Dems must pick strongest candidate to beat Tiffany
Democratic voters enjoy an embarrassment of riches because there are seven serious Democratic candidates for governor, all of whom are well qualified to lead our state.

John Torinus: Trump pall and Republican exodus
The unusual exodus of Republican legislators from the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly undoubtedly stems from differing personal factors by each office holder. But the dark pall over the Republican Party cast by President Donald Trump surely also figured heavily into their departures.

WisOpinion: ‘The Insiders’ discuss Evers’ end-of-session vetoes, bill signings
The WisPolitics.com Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss Governor Evers’ vetoes and bipartisan bill signings for the recent legislative session. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
