Emily Mills: Eric Hovde’s anti-trans attacks against Baldwin may not be a winning strategy, but they’re still dangerous
Wisconsin elections are decided in the margins. This time, they could also be decided by the marginalized.

Mark Belling: The crashing Tammy Baldwin campaign
How to outspend your opponent and lose ground doing it.

Gregory Humphrey: Restoring our political culture with Wisconsin Alliance for Civic Trust

Kamala Harris and understanding the most important election of our lifetime.

Dave Zweifel: Four years of chaos was enough
Trump’s first term was bad enough, almost as if the whole idea was to keep the country in a state of confusion, at loggerheads with one another. We should never forget what happened to America during those years and never let it happen again.

Michael Lucas: Why are there socialists?
