Thank you, Governor Evers, for your leadership through very interesting times. The State of Wisconsin was and still is lucky to have you at the helm. It is going to be a little sad driving past the "Wisconsin Welcomes You" signs and not seeing your name though! Enjoy your much earned family time!

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Conrad, a large orange tabby cat and Martin, a small orange tabby cat, sit on a wood framed platform with a white covering. It is placed on a windowsill. The window is open and both cats are looking outside. There are copper Jello molds and a black stand with various pots in the background. There are Flamingo pattern curtains on the window. The weather is the television in the upper left corner.

Yesterday was an unsettled weather day here in the Dairy State. The region's most qualified feline meteorologists were watching the skies. Our area was unscathed, but sadly, others to the north and west weren't as lucky. #catsofbluesky #cats #orangecat #weather #conrad #martin #tabby

Martin, a small orange tabby cat, is laying in a brown cat bed on a bridge made of heavy cloth and wood. The bridge is attached to two wooden box shelves. The front panel of each of the shelves has a cat head shaped cut out. The shelves are attached to a blue wall. Two windows are also visible.

Musk offering $100 to Wisconsin petition signers; tactic may be illegal, election attorney says Elon Musk plans to provide $100 in cash to people who sign an election petition, an offer that may run afoul of state law, an election attorney said.

Elon Musk has now resorted to trying to buy votes because he wants Schimel to rule in favor of his company's lawsuit.

Wisconsinites don’t want a slimy billionaire like Musk or a corrupt politician like Schimel controlling the Supreme Court. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Judge Crawford is a former prosecutor, a common sense judge, and a mom. She trusts women to make their own health care decisions.

Brad Schimel doesn’t, but she always will. That's what's at stake.
