Dave Zweifel: If Trump can run for a third term, so can Obama
The political world is in a tizzy over Donald Trump’s suggestion that he might figure out a way to run for president for a third term, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution notwithstanding.

Dave Cieslewicz: Boo! Trump in ’28?
It’s Halloween, so I thought I’d tell the scariest story I could come up with. The 22nd Amendment is pretty clear: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” And yet there’s no reason to think that’ll stop Donald Trump from seeking a third term.

Gregory Humphrey: Profiles in courage as Americans stand up for constitutional norms
Capt. Dylan Blaha and Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek correctly refused a federal order to deploy in Chicago.

Jamie Stiehm: White House ruin emblematic of wider government destruction
The wreckage looks like a crime scene, with President Donald Trump’s thumbprints on it. He didn’t ask or tell people, he just destroyed a sacred structure that sang of American history. Vintage Trump.

Bill Barth: Fair requirement, but avoid the rush
It’s not too much to ask that voters prove their legal status, just like it’s not too much to ask that voters show photo ID at the polls to verify their identity. It is too much to ask that the entire state voter registry be audited over a matter of weeks.

Dan O’Donnell: A bad bet for Wisconsin
Timing couldn’t have been worse for a bipartisan group of state legislators who want to give total control over online sports betting in Wisconsin to the native tribes who run casino sports books.

Gregg Hoffmann: Wisconsin a natural for slow tourism
Our environment in Wisconsin is conducive to slow tourism.

Melissa Agard: Dane County budget balances prudence and compassion
Every line of this budget reflects the values that have made Dane County strong: collaboration, accountability and care for one another.

John Hallinan: You can’t negotiate with obstinate GOP
As the Trump administration continues to take a jackhammer to the Constitution, we see more and more editorials calling for moderates on both sides to come together. History shows this is not how major problems are solved in this country.

Gregory Humphrey: When Latino kids have Halloween upended, what does that say about the rest of us?
These kids, their parents, and onlookers witnessed city streets become a stage for a grotesque display of federal overreach, racial profiling, and outright abuse.

Patrick Testin: Why I’m trying to legalize medical marijuana
Cannabis is far less harmful and poses fewer negative side effects than most prescription drugs – especially opiate-based painkillers – and our state’s residents should also have the choice to decide which health care options work best for them.

JoAnn Pushkin: Early breast cancer detection saves lives. Bipartisan bill deserves passage.
Gail’s Law is named in honor of patient advocate Gail Zeamer, a brave Wisconsin woman whose own battle with breast cancer inspired her to fight for others.

Bill Barth: Public or private, taxpayers get the bill
We are well on the way to having, at least, two separate school systems — and taxpayers are on the hook for both.

Mark Belling: The crisis of perverted teachers goes back to do-nothing DPI
Voters elect hacks like Underly who do nothing. The grooming coverup is one result.

William Osmulski: The Obamacare shutdown
Every day, Tony Evers and Tammy Baldwin take to social media to spell out the reason for the government shutdown. Republicans won’t extend the affordable care tax credits – which means the premiums on Obamacare plans will go up. Here’s what they don’t want you to know.

Ellen Carlson: Wisconsin food pantries cannot replace federal SNAP benefits
Support your local food pantries and food banks to help bridge this gap. More critically, we all need to advocate for restored federal funding to SNAP. Only federal support can provide the long-term solution.

Spencer Black: Resistance in red districts essential to saving democracy
Democrats can’t just rely on big margins in favorable areas to turn this country around.

Dave Zweifel: Why march? There are so many reasons
People are still debating whether the millions who marched in rural and urban America, the 20,000 here in Madison and the thousands of others in Dane County communities did any good to change the way Donald Trump and the Republicans are governing.

Bruce Murphy: Do Democratic candidates need to be more moderate?
Experts argue it will take a Democrat like Tony Evers to win the state.

Brad Olson: End the nightmare: Put Wisconsin in charge of wolf management
Wisconsin has the tools, data and public accountability mechanisms necessary to balance wolf conservation with the protection of livestock and human safety.
