Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson is now chairing the Senate Budget Committee, wielding major influence over federal spending as Republicans push for a last-minute budget bill before the elections. With the GOP’s slim majority at stake, Johnson is expected to slash spending aggressively — possibly even advancing the controversial SAVE America Act to restrict voting. While some, like fellow Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin, urge him to prioritize Wisconsinites over cuts, experts warn his moves could deepen the national debt or curb voter access. With just months left, Johnson’s leadership will shape the nation’s fiscal future — and the political fallout.

Three Democrats battle for Wisconsin’s fiercely Republican 7th District, each pushing accountability for the current administration—but with stark differences on impeachment. Chris Armstrong goes all-in, calling it the heart of his campaign, while Ginger Murray and Fred Clark favor investigations over immediate impeachment. With six Republicans vying for the seat vacated by retiring GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany, the Democrats must rally voters tired of Washington gridlock. Clark and Murray stress bipartisan cooperation on national issues, while Armstrong leans into bold stances like abolishing ICE. Can any of them turn this red district blue?

Milwaukee just endured a brutal heat wave, hitting 99 degrees—just shy of its all-time July 15 record of 96 set in 1931, and far below the city’s all-time high of 105 in 1934. While the extreme temps strained residents, especially those without AC, meteorologists say relief is on the way as cooler weather rolls in over the weekend. Stay hydrated, check on neighbors, and enjoy the reprieve—this one’s finally easing up.
