Jeffrey Leverich: Trump education cuts deepen the descent into national chaos
The level of national chaos that we have generated for years affects national mores, economics, education and our overall health.

Dan Knodl: Badger blues: UW cries poverty with an $8 billion operating budget

The more mobs scream, the more Americans tune them out.

Arthur I. Cyr: We must be wary of politicization of the military
Democrats, partisan media and other critics of Trump are raising the spectre of diversion of our military from their proper constitutional roles, and even possible military dictatorship. That is an exaggeration, at least for the moment.

Patrick McIlheran: Much to like in Republicans’ tax plan
But part should be jettisoned, and we need to keep working toward flat tax.

At a time of missile launches in the Middle East, grinding war in Ukraine, political assassination in Minnesota and a potentially crushing national debt hanging over the economy, it’s a relief to visit a place where people gather for lunch, sing a patriotic song and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. All at the world’s biggest Culver’s restaurant, no less.
