This WI Mom Had Her Baby With the Help of Planned Parenthood

Each year for her birthday, Heather Martell puts out a call asking for donations to an organization that has played a “life-saving” role in her life: Planned Parenthood.

Heather has a history of complicated reproductive health issues and says the doctors, nurses, and social workers at Planned Parenthood have always been caring, considerate, and helpful in her decision-making and connections over the years—from answering everyday health questions to getting her the help she needed when she was miscarrying and hemorrhaging for days.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says if Donald Trump returns to the White House, the Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood—largely because of the reproductive health care organizations’ support of abortion rights.
For years, Republicans in Wisconsin’s state legislature and in Congress have tried to take away this access to health care.

Planned Parenthood leaders in the state say when these lawmakers talk about “defunding” their organization, they really mean blocking patients, many who depend on public health care funding like Medicaid, from getting necessary health care.

More Job Cuts in Wisconsin

Now that President-elect Donald Trump and other Republicans who ran on a platform of calling immigration an “invasion” have won their elections, the question turns to what kinds of policies they can actually pass in the next Congress—and do so without damaging an economy that depends on migrant labor for its stability.

The American Business Immigration Coalition is made up of more than 1,400 business members calling for immigration reform that is “sensible, economically important, politically smart, and morally right.” ABIC States Director Connor Gallivan said Monday on UpNorthNews Radio there are many ways to come at the challenge of immigration reform and border security—and one wrong way: mass deportation, something that would cripple nearly every sector of the US economy.

Gallivan said even if every American citizen without a job were to become employed, there would still be two million open jobs available.

Gov. Tony Evers welcomed news that Eli Lilly is going to invest $3-4 billion in a Kenosha County

SMART INVESTMENTS - Gov. Tony Evers welcomed news that Eli Lilly is going to invest $3-4 billion in a Kenosha County facility based on injectable drugs, such as Mounjaro.

It’s a project that got its start in 2019, when the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation awarded $1.5 million to a smaller company, Nexus Pharmaceuticals.

Pat Kreitlow takes us through the timeline to show how the state’s investment paid off in a much better way compared to how former Gov. Scott Walker was prepared to give billions of taxpayer dollars to Foxconn in that same part of the state.

Brad Woodhouse, with Protect Our Care, reacts to Trump’s healthcare nominees

Brad Woodhouse, with Protect Our Care, reacts to Trump’s healthcare nominees, raising concerns about their records and commitment to the health and wellbeing of the American people.

Interviewed on UpNorthNews Radio, Woodhouse outlined several concerning figures beyond Robert Kennedy, Jr., the nominee of President-elect Trump to be secretary of health and human services, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, whose TV-friendly health advice is frequently incomplete or dangerous.

For example, former Florida congressman Dave Weldon, someone who, like Kennedy, shares anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, is Trump’s choice to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Marty Makary, Trump’s pick to be commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, embraced a view of the COVID-19 virus that would let many more sick and elderly people die so that younger, healthy people would contract COVID more quickly and build up immunity.

Former Fox News personality Janette Nesheiwat, Trump’s choice for Surgeon General, has spread anti-trans rhetoric and regularly promote dietary supplements she formulates and sells online.

And Jay Bhattacharya, Trump’s pick to be director of the National Institutes of Health, said COVID’s risks were overstated and called for a weakening of safety protocols in a pandemic that would go on to take the lives of more than 1 million Americans.

Wisconsin Crowd Cheers to Bernie’s “Health Care is a Human Right”

BERNIE'S MESSAGE 📣 “Instead of a government of the people, by the people and for the people, we have now become a government of the billionaire class, for the billionaire class."

That's what Sen. Bernie Sanders told crowds in Wisconsin. Sanders is bringing his Fighting Oligarchy tour to key battleground states across the country, also rallying for expanded Social Security, Medicare, and free healthcare.

The packed crowd of 2,600 in Altoona last Saturday cheered and stood when Sanders said the US should guarantee healthcare to all people as a right.
