Senator Tammy Baldwin is blasting the Army for its botched $8.6 billion JLTV contract with AM General, a company now owned by private equity—despite Oshkosh Defense, a Wisconsin-based rival, already making the vehicles. With nearly $2 billion already spent and zero vehicles delivered after nearly two years, Baldwin warns taxpayers and troops are paying the price. The Army’s plan to halt JLTV purchases leaves the Marines scrambling for alternatives, while Oshkosh steps in to reclaim the market—highlighting the cost of losing skilled Wisconsin workers and decades of proven manufacturing expertise.

Milwaukee County is making a bold move by investing $2.5 million in rental assistance to tackle homelessness head-on, shifting funds from shelters to permanent housing — a critical pivot as federal policy turns away from long-term solutions. With a “housing first” strategy that’s kept unsheltered rates low, officials fear the upcoming federal changes will reverse progress unless they act now. The money, pulled from a stalled affordable housing project, will fund tenant-based vouchers — the most effective tool available — backed by the new LIFT program that incentivizes landlords to accept applicants with imperfect records. Though rising rents have already stretched the program thin, this reallocation aims to sustain and expand housing support through 2027 and into 2028, ensuring no one is left behind as the system adapts.

Congress is probing a 1960s law that lets the NFL and other leagues handle their own broadcasting deals — a lifeline for small-market teams like the Green Bay Packers. While lawmakers like Rep. Scott Fitzgerald argue fans are overpaying on streaming, Packers officials warn any change could be an “existential threat” to their survival. Though Fitzgerald claims the NFL’s finances wouldn’t be hurt, the law’s defenders say it ensures fans everywhere — big and small cities — get equal access. With legislative change unlikely anytime soon, the Packers’ unique revenue advantage remains intact.
