In WI, @derrickvanorden runs onto stage to introduce @POTUS: "This is the most beautiful, productive, awesome space in the entire planet... [If anybody says POTUS] doesn't care about the farmers, you could look 'em straight in the eye and tell 'em, 'That's a pile of manure.'"

The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents has approved a 2% price increase for next year.

There was only one regent who was against the hike. He shares why.

The #WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at efforts to appeal ⚖️ lawsuits challenging #Wisconsin’s congressional lines after 3️⃣-judge panels dismissed them.

This episode was recorded before the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear an #appeal in one of the cases, which argued the current lines are an anticompetitive 📍 #gerrymander.

🥛 @OrganicValley's Adam Warthesen says the co-op in western Wisconsin is unique due to only handling #organicdairy products. He argues the national 💰 pricing system first created in the 1930s “doesn’t fit the #organicmarketplace” in its current state.

The settlement is related to a ⚖️ lawsuit @WisDOJ filed in 2022. The complaint alleged @johnsoncontrols and @Tyco_IFS had violated #Wisconsin’s Spills Law by failing to notify the @WDNR about and remediate #PFAS contamination at the Fire Technology Center in Marinette. ➡️ The contamination stemmed from PFAS-containing 🔥 #firefightingfoam used in training and testing at the center.

The #GOP-controlled House yesterday voted 215-208 to pass the resolution seeking to block further hostilities in 🇮🇷 #Iran, with four #Republicans joining #Dems in favor.

🗣 @RepMarkPocan hailed the measure’s passage. “The 🇺🇲 #American people are tired of presidents abusing their power by spending 💰 billions of our #taxpayerdollars on unnecessary #wars. I urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill to end @realDonaldTrump’s illegal war in Iran,” Pocan said.

.@SenHesselbein said @SenatorDevin told her a few days earlier that there was “no chance” of the Senate returning to vote on a new 💰 surplus deal.

@SenatorTestin said in the phone interview with @WisPolitics that he couldn’t speak 🗣 for LeMahieu, but that wasn’t the impression he got from the majority leader. A LeMahieu spokesperson didn’t immediately return a call ☎️ yesterday seeking comment.

Yesterday, @SenatorTestin told me he'd spoken with @SenatorDevin about taking another shot at the failed $1.8 billion surplus package.

Today, LeMahieu said the Senate would come in if two more votes emerge for the deal.

Trump approval is low overall, but on the economy and inflation it is terrible.

Inflation is #1 and economy is #2 most important issue.

While #Wisconsin will need less new 🏡 #housing than previously projected to maintain the status quo, a new #ForwardAnalytics report argues the state should set its sights higher than “building for a low-end estimate.” @WisCounties
