 There is a claim of responsibility, and a threat of more violence in Madison’s pro-life office firebombing. A group called Jane’s Revenge yesterday took credit for the attack at the Wisconsin family Action office on Sunday. The group said online that the attack was ‘only a warning,’ and said there would be more attacks if ‘all anti-choice groups, fake clinics, and violent anti-choice groups’ are not disbanded within the next month. Madison Police say they are aware of the claim, and the

It remains to be seen if the woman accused in Green Bay’s meth-sex murder case will face prison time. A judge yesterday set a hearing for next week to see if Taylor Schabusiness is mentally competent enough to go to trial. Schabusiness is accused of strangling a man during a day of meth-fueled sex back in February. After death, police say she continued to have sex with him before cutting his body into pieces and trying to hide them around

 Eau Claire city leaders are waiting to decide about the liquor licenses for The Plus, The Rev, and The Metro. The city council last night delayed the vote on their licenses for two weeks. The Plus and The Rev have been closed because of the coronavirus, while The Metro has been closed because of a kitchen fire. Eau Claire’s city attorney says any license that is unused for 90 days is considered abandoned. All three places have the same owner.

The National Weather Service is confirming three tornadoes from Monday’s storms. All three were weak, with wind speeds of only up to 90 mils-per-hour. There were two tornadoes in Dunn County, and a third up in St. Croix County. There are no reports of any injuries, though there are some reports of damage.. Forecasters say they could add to that tornado count as the week goes on.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will likely decide whether the legislature overstepped its bounds with a 2018 law that requires the attorney general to get permission before settling or ending a lawsuit. A judge in Dane County last week said lawmakers did go too far, but put a hold on that order until an appeal can be filed. The law was passed just before Governor Evers took power in 2019, and placed restrictions on how the attorney general can handle some cases. Democrats

The numbers on just who is being injured in officer-involved use-of-force cases in Wisconsin are now public knowledge after a series of reviews. Attorney General Josh Kaul released the findings from his review of cases where a suspect was killed or injured, or where a police officer fired their weapon. There were 48 cases last year, with 11 ending in deaths and 11 more ending with gunshot  wounds. Just two people suffered broken bones. The numbers show the majority of those 48

 There is a new deal in place between the Wisconsin National Guard and the Ho-Chunk Nation that gives the nation access to Fort McCoy. The tribe and the guard signed the deal this week. It allows Ho-Chunk members to access burial sites at Fort McCoy, as well as take some of the native plants on the base for traditional medicines. This is the first update to an access agreement the Guard first signed with the tribe in 1999.

There’s now a ban on moving chickens across the state of Wisconsin. The state’s Department of Agriculture yesterday ordered a ban on the transfer of all domestic chicken flocks in an attempt to slow the spread of the bird flu. That means no chickens at shows, fairs, or swap meets in the state. So far, there are bird flu cases at farms or in backyard flocks in eleven counties. The state has had to put-down over two-point-seven million birds because of
