Commenting on the fatal shooting of a Milwaukee police officer, U.S. @RepGrothman said violent crime in the U.S. is worse now than a quarter-century ago. Overall and for major cities, the rates are lower, @wisconsinwatch finds. wisconsinwatch.org/2025/07/i…

Rent Smart training helps tenants navigate Wisconsin’s housing crunch. One of the most common concerns expressed in community listening sessions held by @WisconsinWatch is the high cost of housing, both homes and rentals.

Wisconsin is dealing with an unsafe and dangerous prison system. @WisconsinWatch reports it currently incarcerates more people per capita than the majority of countries in the world, including the United States, and suffers from severe understaffing. bit.ly/4m9UjNx

For the @WisconsinWatch story about a farmer's challenges following cuts to a program where she sold pork to pantries, we made a slideshow showing difficult images of the pig butchering. It's hard to see, but important to understand where food comes from

From @WisconsinWatch: Wisconsin used to be a national leader in childhood immunizations. But the state had one of the largest drops in the measles vaccination rate from 2022 to 2023, a rate that is now under 70% in 14 counties (and at just 44% in one). wisconsinwatch.org/2025/06/w…

2/2 imposed because the US never exports enough dairy to Canada to trigger the tariffs, @WisconsinWatch finds. wisconsinwatch.org/2025/04/t…
Wisconsin Watch retweeted
Tariffs are on-again, off-again, on-again. But one thing clear, despite a claim by Wisconsin US @RepTiffany, is Canada's tariffs on US dairy are essentially zero. Canada does have tariffs on the books exceeding 200% -- but they're based on quotas. And the tariffs are not 1/2
