So we've been perusing a Hollywood prop auction over the last couple of days in the @WISCTV_News3 newsroom. I did in fact learn that a prop dinosaur tooth could in fact be close to the cost of the real deal...

On the other side of the state, @RepMarkPocan is holding a town hall in Prairie du Chien, @RepVanOrden's hometown, talking recent passage of the Big Beautiful Bill.

This is Pocan's 5th town hall he's held in Van Orden's district--as he and Van Orden are often at odds.

[A.J. Bayatpour @AJBayatpour]

It’s a mostly packed house in Elkhorn, where Rep. Bryan Steil walked out to a loud, mixed reaction ahead of a listening session.

It’s Steil’s first in-person town hall since passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill. Protesters gathered outside Elkhorn High School before the event
