Wisconsin Right Now

Read all of our stories on the Milwaukee Public Museum here. In a stunningly arrogant letter to the Milwaukee County Board pushing back against a citizen group that is trying to save the Milwaukee Public Museum's exhibits and art, the museum's CEO wrote that some of the beloved exhibits must be scrapped to meet "cultural competency" concerns. The letter was dated Sept. 27, 2024, and addressed to Milwaukee County Supervisors. It was signed by the museum's President and CEO Ellen Censky and Aaron Hertzberg, Executive Director of Administrative Services for Milwaukee County. "Several of the exhibits—built in the 1960s and 1970s—have not kept current with scientific research and lack cultural competency," they claimed. We previously revealed that Milwaukee County Public Museum officials tacked on an additional $80-90 million to renovation cost estimates for updating exhibits in the current facility after saying that racial and equity concerns we

Twenty-five Republican governors want to know how many illegal foreign nationals have been flown into their states by a Biden-Harris administration plan they argue is burdening their residents and creating an unsafe environment. Those being flown in have arrived through more than a dozen parole programs created by U.S. Department of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The governors only inquired about one: the CHNV parole program, created to fast track previously inadmissible citizens of Cuba, Honduras, Nicaragua and Venezuela moving into the country. According to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, 530,000 CHNV parolees were released into the country in the past year, in addition to 813,000 foreign nationals processed into the country from all over the world through a CBP One app . Attorneys general from multiple states sued to stop them, arguing they are illegal. The U.S. House impeached Mayorkas for them and other actions they argue created the border crisis

  An Afghan citizen released into the U.S. less than 10 days after the Biden-Harris deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan was arrested for plotting an Election Day terrorist attack on American soil. The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday announced charges were brought against 27-year-old Afghan national Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, residing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO). His co-conspirator, a juvenile and Tawhedi’s wife’s brother, was also charged. The brother, an Afghan national with legal permanent resident status, was residing in Moore, Oklahoma. The charges are “providing, attempting to provide, and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization; Knowingly receiving, conspiring to receive, and attempting to receive firearms and ammunition to be used

The praise from Biden comes as DeSantis and Vice President Kamala Harris continue to be at odds. Harris called him "selfish" for not taking her calls and DeSantis shot back, saying she was trying to "parachute" her way into storm recovery and relief efforts.  President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his efforts to get the state ready for a strike in the Tampa Bay area by Hurricane Milton. "The governor of Florida says he's gotten all that he needs," Biden said. "I talked again to him yesterday and I said no, you're doing a great job, we thank you for it and I literally gave my personal phone number to call. "There was a rough start in some places, but every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledged what this team is doing and they're doing an incredible job, but we've got a lot more to do." The praise from Biden comes as DeSantis a

Martin G. Garcia Leal is accused of raping a 12-year-old girl while her mom was at work in Burlington, Wisconsin. There is an ICE detainer holding Garcia Leal in the Racine County Jail. Each day, from Sept. 25 through the presidential election, we'll expose a non-citizen currently in a Wisconsin jail who is accused of committing a horrific crime. ICE placed immigration detainers on them. We are highlighting a range of serious crimes. Weak Biden/Harris border policies on immigration, aided and abetted by politicians like U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, have caused heightened attention to the issue. Every state is a border state.

The Wauwatosa School District is asking voters to approve a pair of referendums worth $124.4 million on the Nov. 5 ballot. But a taxpayer advocacy group believes the district , with declining enrollment, should “right-size” its current budget rather than using a referendum to spend more taxpayer money. The group pointed toward a second planned referendum in 2026 as part of a cycle of tax increases that it believes needs to end. The group points to a reported $4 million budget mistake by the district as a sign of mismanagement. The district’s two proposals include $16.1 million per year for four years to fund operational expenses such as salaries and benefits and a $60 million referendum for maintenance and capital projects at Eisenhower, Madison, Roosevelt, Jefferson, and Washington elementary schools, Montessori/Fisher and Wauwatosa East and West high schools. State law caps how much a district can increase its property tax levy without voter approval. The district says t
