Kyle Rittenhouse’s self-defense strategy could get a big boost today. The judge in his case is expected to rule later today whether Rittenhouse’s use of force expert can testify at his trial.

Environmentalists and activists have been fighting Wisconsin’s wolf hunt since it was first scheduled late last year. This year’s hunt is supposed to begin in about three weeks. The judge says the state’s Department of Natural Resources broke the rules when it set a quota of just 130 wolves for

As you might imagine, Republicans and Democrats at the Wisconsin Capitol have two entirely different sets of take-aways from the latest audit into the 2020 election.

The audit made 30 recommendations for election managers across the state, and another 18 for lawmakers. Assembly

A wounded Kenosha County police dog is heading home after being shot. Riggs, the sheriff’s K9, was hit in the head with a bullet during a shooting last week. Veterinarians say it’s a miracle the dog survived, the bullet essentially went around his skull. There is a scar and some shaved fur, but other than that Riggs is happy and healthy.
