‘We’ve seen this before’: Bird flu again hits Wisconsin poultry farms Two large-scale commercial poultry farms in southeastern Wisconsin have been hit with avian flu, each with roughly 1.5 million birds that will be culled. The post ‘We’ve seen this before’: Bird flu again hits Wisconsin poultry farms appeared first on WPR.

Bird flu is hitting Wisconsin poultry farms again, and that means more strain on farmers, local resources, and probably our grocery bills too. Same mess, different day, and regular people get stuck paying for it.

It's a mess. We face resistance in the Republican-led Legislature. Evers is pushing to close loopholes, but things remained stalled. Hopefully, next year we can start to turn things around for the betterment of Wisconsinites.

OOHHHH! Good question! 🤔

Agreed.

I was just bitching about this! IMO, if you want to start somewhere, you start with that damned brainwashing book.

This was my question too because there are things I can see as "grooming", so how far down the rabbit hole do we go to define that? 🤷‍♀️

Ruth Bleier walked into UW–Madison and basically said: “Cool story, bro—now show me where the bias is hiding in your so-called science.” She challenged sexist “hardwired” claims, backed women faculty, and left a legacy that still hits. 🦡☕

Evers signs bills to make grooming a felony, require appropriate communications school policies • Wisconsin Examiner “Keeping our kids safe, especially while they’re in our schools, must be a top priority for us," Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement.

Grooming is now a felony in Wisconsin. Good. Kids deserve protection, period. Clear communication rules in schools shouldn’t be controversial—they’re basic safeguards. And let’s be clear: women and girls are not here for anyone’s pleasure. #Wisconsin #ProtectKids #Accountability

Department of Education launches investigation over Wisconsin school district's bathroom policies • Wisconsin Examiner The New Richmond school district has been the subject of increasing attention from Wisconsin Republicans who are making it a campaign issue.

Trans people aren’t the problem.
The problem is politicians obsessing over who uses what bathroom while ignoring real issues in our schools. Leave people alone and let them pee in peace. 🏳️‍🌈 #Wisconsin #TransRights #LGBTQ #LetPeopleLive

What you really mean, Blondie, is that Mullin is first in line, among many others, to suck tRumps 🍄, every morning. 😐

What in bloody hell, did I just watch? 😕

OMG! 😂😂😂

😂

AI wouldn't know what to do unless asked or prompted, so the people who used the AI should be asked the questions, not creators of AI. Kinda like gun use. Do they bring the gun makers in for questions when a shooter goes on rampage?

Tammy Baldwin calls Iran war 'illegal.' Ron Johnson says strikes couldn't wait for Congress. Wisconsin U.S. Sens. Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson couldn't be further apart on President Donald Trump's decision to launch military attacks on Iran.

Tammy is right: Congress decides war, not one president freelancing with the military. Meanwhile Ron Johnson is—shockingly—backing Trump again. Checks and balances matter… unless you’re RoJo the Clown and your job is apparently “professional Trump yes-man.”

Shipwreck hunter discovers sunken 150-year-old luxury liner off the coast of Wisconsin Scuba diver Paul Ehorn's recent discovery of the Lac La Belle was nearly 60 years in the making and is part of an overall uptick in Great Lakes shipwreck discoveries.

Well this is a cool piece of Wisconsin history. A shipwreck hunter just discovered a 150-year-old luxury liner resting in Lake Michigan off Wisconsin’s coast. The Great Lakes keep receipts… they just wait a century to show them. ⚓️ #WisconsinHistory #GreatLakes #Shipwreck #LakeMichigan #Wisconsin

Lawmakers to introduce bill strengthening federal anti-poverty program: It's 'a critical lifeline,' Warren says Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, was created in 1972 to help the nation's most vulnerable. Some features of the program have not been updated in decades.

SSI is supposed to keep people afloat, not force them into poverty. Raising outdated asset limits and fixing marriage penalties is long overdue. Disabled people and seniors deserve dignity, not bureaucratic cruelty. #SSI #DisabilityJustice

Murphy’s Law: How Wisconsin Money Funded Trump’s Policies Bradley Foundation and Uihleins funded much of Project 2025.

Wisconsin isn’t just watching Trumpism — we’re funding it. Urban Milwaukee lays out how Bradley Foundation money (plus the Uihleins) bankrolled the Project 2025 machine that’s now driving policy at warp speed. Follow. The. Money.

Bonnie Blair: not born in Wisconsin, but forged here. That Milwaukee-area ice + elite training helped turn speed into Olympic history—five golds worth of it. Wisconsin doesn’t just clap; we build the legends. 🥇

My favorite song is "Maria"! Love her!

US Rep. Mark Pocan: More questions for White House than answers on war in Iran U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin said he isn’t satisfied with the justification the White House gave during a classified briefing on Tuesday for joining Israel in attacking Iran. The post US Rep. Mark Pocan: More questions for White House than answers on war in Iran appeared first on WPR.

Pocan after classified briefing: no clear mission, weak justification, and Congress is stuck asking basic questions the White House won’t answer. If it’s “not a war,” why are they calling it a war? 🤷🏽‍♀️War Powers vote this week. #Wisconsin #WIpol #WarPowers #Congress #MarkPocan

10 Wisconsin Companies Sue Trump for Tariff Refunds Kohl’s, Milwaukee Tool, others claim 'financial harm' from 'illegal power grab.'

Wisconsin companies hiked prices on us when tariffs hit. We paid those costs at the register. Now they’re suing for refunds on the very tariffs we covered — and keeping the money. If they get paid back, Wisconsinites should too. 💪🏽💵 #Wisconsin #WIPolitics #Tariff #Refund #GiveUsBackOurMoney

Milwaukee police ban officers from masking their identities amid ICE concerns The Milwaukee Police Department has explicitly banned officers from using masks or other facial coverings to hide their identities, Milwaukee Common Council members announced on Monday. “We met with the police chief, delivered the message of what our constituents were demanding, and he acted. This is about responsiveness, accountability and trust,” Alderperson JoCasta Zamarripa said […]

Milwaukee PD finally bans masked officers. Apparently “public trust” works better when you’re not dressed like a bargain‑bin stormtrooper. Now if only ICE would stop cosplaying anonymity too. #Wisconsin #Milwaukee #Accountability #NoMasks

You mean has agreed to voluntarily "lie" before the House Oversight Committee. You know, to smooth things over in attempt to clear his name.

Sounds kinda "culty" to me. Stay away from the Kool-Aid. Just sayin'. 🤨

If he can afford $46M - $56M on his wedding, I think he can afford to pay his damned taxes. 😤
