The Progressive

''The Progressive'' is a left-leaning American magazine and website covering politics and culture. Founded in 1909 by U.S. senator Robert M. La Follette Sr. and co-edited with his wife Belle Case La Follette, it was originally called '''''La Follette's Weekly'' and then ''La Follette's'''''. In 1929, it was recapitalized and had its name changed to ''The Progressive.'' For a period, ''The Progressive'' was co-owned by La Follette family and William Evjue's newspaper ''The Capital Times''. Its headquarters are in Madison, Wisconsin.

The publication covers civil rights and civil liberties-related topics, immigrant issues, environmentalism, criminal justice reform, and democratic reform. Its current acting and managing editor is David Boddiger. Previous editors included La Follette Sr., Belle Case La Follette, their son Robert Jr., William Evjue, Morris Rubin, Erwin Knoll, Matthew Rothschild, Bill Lueders and Ruth Conniff.
