Milwaukee nightclub owners are teaming up with Souls to the Polls Wisconsin to register young voters in unexpected places, proving that reaching a new generation means meeting them where they are.
This coming Sunday, something will be happening for the 1,476th time and something else will be happening for the first.
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning the Madison City Council did the right thing. It fired interim Police Monitor Aeiramique Glass.
Firing the police monitor is only Round 1!
Wisconsin home sales dropped 2.4% over the year in September amid rising mortgage and a slowing state housing market. That’s according to the latest Wisconsin Realtors Association report, which notes the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.86% last
GE HealthCare and Milwaukee Tool are leading the pack for organizations filing AI-related patents in Wisconsin, followed closely by Johnson Controls. That’s according to research conducted by Prof. Rina Ghose, a data scientist with UW-Milwaukee whose work explores AI adoption
This belongs in the “hard to believe” file, but groups here in Wisconsin and throughout the country are mobilizing to protect the Nov. 3 election.

The more convincing the generated image or video becomes, the more necessary it is to have human judgment, transparency, and historical literacy.
The execution will not be livestreamed.
Democrat Sarah Godlewski and Republican David Varnam are very different candidates.
This is a time when Democrats are smart to recognize that every corner of Wisconsin includes the north.
‘Tax the rich’ sounds appealing. Punishing success does not lift the poor. It shrinks the opportunities available to everyone.
Tiffany voted against the PACT Act, which the Department of Veterans Affairs describes it as “perhaps the largest health care and benefit expansion in VA history.”
Wisconsin is having a major debate about its energy future, but too often we are framing that debate around choices we don’t have to make.
