Get ready for a potential third Capitol-paralyzing fight in four years over how to pay for Wisconsin highways—a fight that could determine how soon that worn, washboard roadway you drive on gets fixed.
When the pandemic hit this winter, city people with second homes moved into them. This upset the rhythm of beach, lake and mountain communities that attract a lot of “summer people”—but not until the summer.
On this Memorial Day, how far did you roam from home?

I just lost a dear elderly friend to cancer. Home hospice workers kept him comfortable. He spent his final weeks watching spring unfold in the outdoor Eden he had nurtured for decades. He died peacefully at night with me present.
In national polling, former vice president Joe Biden is the clear 2020 front-runner. He’s up nearly 5 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average; he’s up in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona. That’s because Biden campaigned as the anti-Bernie Sanders: a “return to normalcy” c…
Joe Biden still has time to do the smart thing and name New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo his running mate. The top two reasons would be Cuomo’s proven competence managing his state’s coronavirus crisis and a strong personality unafraid of that other son of Queens, President Donald Trump.
“I’m not letting anyone in this house give a haircut yet, but that day may come.”
Less than 24 hours after four Supreme Court justices threw out his statewide safer-at-home order, the former Baraboo science teacher was at an online blackboard.
On Friday at noon, as WCLO shifted into our regular mid-day programming, the main studio mics were silenced for the last time. The studio where I created my career will likely never host WCLO programming again as we relocate our broadcast facilities.
This week, former President Barack Obama re-emerged from hibernation to lecture Americans about the threat to rule of law posed by the Trump administration. After Attorney General Bill Barr announced that the Department of Justice would be dropping its case against President Donald Trump’s f…
Our democracy is under fire thanks to corrupt officials at the highest echelons of our government -- including members of the Obama administration -- we're now learning conspired with former FBI Director James Comey and other "deep state" operatives to stop Donald Trump from getting elected.…
Eighteen-year-old Dameon Shepard was playing video games when the mob came to his door. Some were carrying guns.
Those sharing #Obamagate on Twitter would do best to avoid the hysterics we saw from Russian-collusion believers, but they have no reason to ignore the mounting evidence that suggests the Obama administration engaged in serious corruption.
Joe Biden has not been loudly beating up on President Donald Trump for his pathetic performance during the coronavirus crisis. The pandemic has already killed over 80,000 Americans and cratered the economy. And the United States has become an object of international pity.
Trump’s pathetic competitive obsession with his predecessor knows no bounds, and now that his deadly failures are being fully exposed, he actually thinks he can distract the public with yet another lie about the guy who easily tops him as a president and as a man.
The hashtag #BelieveWomen stemmed from an era when women claiming to have been sexually assaulted were broadly dismissed. That is, if you ignore the history of white women falsely accusing black men of rape. Those women were largely believed and the accused often summarily tortured and hung …
With nomination papers to get on the Nov. 3 ballot due three weeks from today, state Senate Democrats must count on their new quarterback—Sen. Janet Bewley—and voter anger at Republicans for come-from-behind victories they need to control the Senate.
If presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden were forced to live by the standards he wants to set for college students accused of sexual misconduct, he would already have been presumed guilty, been denied a genuine opportunity to refute the charges leveled against him by Ta…
I know I should not throw cold water on a warm and fuzzy story, but in the case of the Yerkes Observatory, I just cannot resist.
There are many things I love about my country. But “rugged individualism,” when taken to its extreme, does not make my list. Nor does religious zealotry, when its practice threatens the welfare of other people.
Last year seems a lifetime ago, but even then, cash was no longer king. The greenback had already lost its premier role as Americans' medium of exchange in dollar terms. Plastic card and digital transactions had taken over. And that's how stores, restaurants and other businesses seemed to want it.
As Americans debate how to reopen our society in the wake of COVID-19, we seem to be breaking down into three groups: first, those who believe the virus isn’t particularly serious and desperately want to reopen everything as soon as possible (a small minority of Americans, by polling data); …
The job sounded intriguing, so she took it, even though she was a political neophyte. She’s been on the job less than eight months, but she’s still on the Capitol’s version of probation, since she hasn’t been confirmed by the state Senate.
When Germany let smaller stores reopen, the expected didn’t happen. Officials thought that shoppers would burst out of their five-week lockdown and spend, spend, spend. They were wrong.
Does Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel believe Joe Biden would be better off dead?
What’s a parent to do? It was early in March, COVID-19 fears were on the rise, and two Kentucky parents who were new to the state needed to open up a bank account. Seeing no other option, they took their young kids into the bank with them.
