Miguel Flores lived in a homeless camp along Kinnickinnic River. His family found his backpack, wallet, keys, shoes and hat in the water. Local authorities cite lack of witness, resources are reasons they are not searching for him and other homeless men.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 📓🍎📝

Thinking of my mom & sister, as well as professors/ teachers I've been privileged to interview. Thanks for all you do.

Until recently, if someone called 911 for a mental health crisis in Wauwatosa, the police would show up with one or more armed officers.

But since Feb. 1, a mental health clinician and trained officer in plain clothes are instead answering those calls together five days a week🧵

Every fall, enrollment #'s come out. And every fall, I kept wondering what was happening at @uwgb, which kept growing while others shrunk.

Why? What was going on there? What were they doing right?

The lead-up to Thanksgiving is no Hallmark Christmas movie for the Chapman family farm. This is their busiest time of the year. 🎄

Watched a lot of baseball this year for my job. And while I did it, I took my camera with me everywhere on the road. Now that the season is over, I wanted to share the end product.

A year on the beat, from Maryvale to Milwaukee to both coasts and beyond.

Since Wednesday I've been on assignment covering damage from Helene in Asheville. Yesterday, I traveled to Brevard- about an hour from Asheville - to check in on the damage. The mountain community near the South Carolina border was not as badly hit.

I am still unsure how to quite put last night into words. Below was an attempt that was made last night, hours after the Brewers’ inning from hell.

Stunning to not be on a flight to Philly right now. Thanks for reading, listening, commenting all year.
