McConnell’s prolonged absence from the Senate has renewed questions about the 84-year-old’s health and whether America should consider age limits for its elected leaders.

When a U.S. Senator drops the F‑word in a hearing, it doesn’t project passion but clearly broadcasts a failure of discipline. The word itself is crude, corrosive, and intellectually lazy. In a setting meant for reasoned debate and civic respect, profanity drags the conversation into the gutter, signaling that emotion has overtaken intellect.

Marquette University Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney reflected on the Declaration of Independence in remarks to the Rotary Club of Milwaukee earlier this month.

The remaining five Democrats running for their party’s nomination for governor met Tuesday night for the one and only televised debate, and none of the candidates took a swipe at the frontrunner, state Rep. Francesca Hong, the democratic socialist in the race.

More than ever, Wisconsin needs a governor who can lead with the values, ideas and vision that put working people at the center of every decision.

Democrats are free to support whichever candidate they prefer. But before casting a ballot, they should ask themselves one simple question: Why are Republicans spending millions to boost democratic socialist Francesca Hong in the Democratic primary? I believe the answer is obvious.

When did getting noticed become more important than being honest or decent or right? Guessing here that the answer coincides with the rise of the hot take.

Democrat Socialists are promising Americans a better way. Free almost everything. But is it?

Cuts to home care can cost the freedom to live independently. It also costs small businesses, home care workers and family caregivers who must leave the workforce to care for family.

Madison is the only major city in the Midwest without police body cams.

I understand why voters who have already cast their ballots for any candidate might want to might want to change their vote. But the costs and risks of such a policy are just too great.

He had expressly avoided endorsing anyone for governor, including 3 Democrats who worked for him.

The issue will drive election turnout, help and hurt Hong. How will it impact other candidates?

In the aftermath of Madison police having killed another Black man, the debate over the Office of the Independent Monitor is even more critical.

Wisconsin voters are being asked this November to consider a constitutional amendment that arrives dressed as a tribute to equality but carries consequences that would undermine it.

Will AI mature like search or social media, where providers capture most of the value? Or will it play out more like the airline industry, where operators run enormously complex businesses but pass most of the value to their customers?

Milwaukee doesn’t have to choose between innovation and self-determination, but it does have to choose whether residents help write the rules or simply live with them. The people of Milwaukee, not AI, and not the companies selling it, should decide what comes next.

Aspects of the GreenLight mine in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest could get the green light as early as May of next year.

Government should not exist to maximize revenue. The purpose of government is to provide essential services efficiently and effectively while respecting the taxpayers who fund those services. Constitutional protections for taxpayers would help restore that balance.

Whether we choose to engage in political warfare or civil debate is up to each of us.
