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.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Blows Up the Deficit

In the 40 years prior to Donald Trump’s political arrival, the Republican Party consistently tried to hammer Democrats as the party of “deficit spending.” President Trump’s “big beautiful” tax bill has changed all of that—and your retirement savings could take a hit as a result.

House Republicans passed legislation Thursday morning that calls for about $1 trillion is spending cuts to things like healthcare and food assistance, but that’s not nearly enough to cover the cost of massive tax breaks they have targeted toward corporations and the very-wealthy—so their plan could add more than $3 trillion to the federal debt over the next decade.

Investors on Wall Street, already skittish because of Trump’s trade war, reacted with alarm, as explained by financial compliance and economics expert Sean O’Malley on “Mornings with Pat Kreitlow.”
