He’s definitely one of one. Tonight, our documentary on the life of education reform advocate Dr. Howard Fuller premieres locally at 9 pm on Channel 10. “A Fuller Education” is also being shown on PBS affiliates nationwide and is available for streaming at fullerfilm.org

The @MULawPoll had Crowley +7 among likely voters. Unofficial results have him at +8.0. Some thought +7 was too high given recent Wisconsin elections, but not so much. The national MULawPoll congressional ballot had D+13, which people also said was high. Looks like +13 to +14.

Milwaukee police used to issue tens of thousands of tickets for everything from vandalism to truancy to driving without a license. John Johnson and I found those numbers have declined dramatically in the last 20 years.

Ok, Mike, they heard you. Their threshold was eight runs and then they show the AmFam camera

As a former TV guy, I find it interesting that the Fox broadcast says little about the thousands of loud, Brewers fans at the Trop. And that it doesn’t have a live camera at Am Fam, where 31,000 fans are watching the game on a big screen. Missed opportunity for a great visual.

Most outsider-looks-in pieces don't get the essence of a place. This one, about Milwaukee and Wisconsin and the #Brewers, nails it. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5026…

Tailgates, watch parties and texts to Mom: Inside Milwaukee's joyous return to the World Series

Milwaukee fans waited decades to see their team in the World Series. And in Game 1, the Brewers -- and the party -- didn't disappoint.

Hey @daveweigel and @ChrisCillizza, Wisconsin here. If you’re interested in WI’s last major experience with socialism, we did a 2020 doc for PBS, “America’s Socialist Experiment, “ looking at Milwaukee’s unique socialist history. Still available on @PrimeVideo.

I feel like this *is* getting attention — I got here on Tuesday and was playing catchup after many Hong stories in NYT etc. But yeah if she wins she becomes one of the most famous Dems in the country and the star of ~$200 million of GOP ads (not just in WI)

These kinds of headlines make what’s happened in @cityofmilwaukee more striking. Here, major corporations have moved jobs from the suburbs to downtown in recent years (@MilwaukeeTool, @Fiserv, @NM_Financial) and thousands of new apartments have been built in or near downtown.
