It was a perfect fall weekend for doing harvesting, yard work, watching the Packers… anything to take our minds off how the Brewers’ season ended as it began: four games from hell. We’ll also discuss Saturday’s “No Kings” rallies across the country. Mornings with Pat Kreitlow is powered by UpNorthNews, and it airs on several […]

When Wisconsin finally got fairer maps than the gerrymandered ones of the past decade, it led to more turnover than usual in Assembly races last year. There wasn’t as much impact on state Senate races because only half the Senate is up for reelection every two years — so voters should expect several high-profile races […]

Jokes aside, it’s serious business that the president of the United States, members of Congress, and others are actually using the phrase “domestic terrorist” to describe people who disagree with them and are standing up to their unethical or illegal activities — and in the president’s case, explicitly calling for their arrest and trial based […]

We’ll talk to Cyndi Greening, a Chippewa Valley organizer among the many who are planning “No Kings” rallies at nearly 100 sites around Wisconsin this Saturday.

We feel bad for the women out there named Karen who know better than to make a “joke” about calling ICE on someone. But the meme is out there and so is the Milwaukee woman who’s out of a job after being seen on social media threatening a Dodgers fan who was engaged in some […]
