Gov. Tony Evers has extended the statewide mask mandate through late November.

It's kind of hard to be truly shocked by anything the president does these days, but what happened last week comes close.

The nation's political pundits keep warning us that, if President Trump is reelected, we are in danger of becoming an authoritarian society.

Something really important happened in Wisconsin last week.

As I watched the Republican National Convention this week, I began to agree that it is time for a change.

MADISON, Wis. -- My favorite news story of the day occurred in the skies above Lake Michigan last month, but it was reported Thursday. A Michigan state drone helicopter was attacked by a bald eagle. The drone crashed. The eagle flew…

The State of New York now wants the National Rifle Association disbanded because its top leadership consists of a bunch of crooks.

You might think that a report showing that the American economy slowed by a percentage greater than that experienced in the Great Depression might be treated as sobering news by President Trump.

President Trump started his day Tuesday by tweeting that he thinks television personality and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough is a murderer.

The great American populace – or, at least, that portion of it that likes to make noise and threaten people – has spoken about the use of masks, saying, in effect, “Hell no!”

A couple of weeks ago Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue stood beside President Trump to assure us that the nation's food supply is “strong, resilient and safe.”

Time during the Covid-19 pandemic moves so quickly that an evening gone can seem like a thousand ages.

A couple of headlines in the morning paper illustrate the dilemma posed by demonstrations around the country demanding that states reopen their economies and end shelter-in-place regulations.
