Wisconsin health officials need the federal govt to step up COVID-19 vaccine shipments. Meanwhile, they're dealing with a legislature putting poison pills in its coronavirus relief bill; limiting safeguards and focused on business favors instead of workplace safety.

It wasn't just the US Capitol that was attacked today, it was your vote—no matter who you voted for—as a mob tried violently to thwart the Electoral College count. And Wisconsin set another sad pandemic milestone: 5,000 deaths.

No criminal charges will be filed against the Kenosha police officer who shot a Black man seven times in the back last summer. And Republican legislators continue fast-tracking a bill that addresses COVID... by giving businesses a big loophole.

The Wisconsin Legislature kicked off its new session Monday, the first time Republicans have convened the Assembly and Senate since mid-April. Gov. Evers asked for quick action on a relief bill. The GOP went in another direction.

The year ends with still far too many coronavirus cases and deaths, but the latest numbers are now less than half of what they were at the peak of the recent surge. Plus Democrats go with a virtual inauguration in Madison while the GOP insists on a big indoor gathering.

Gov. Tony Evers makes the case for fixing gerrymandered maps as key to breaking the gridlock that has prevented coronavirus safeguards from saving more Wisconsin lives.

WI Assembly Speaker Robin Vos kills the safe option of holding virtual legislative sessions, an unreal snubbing of concerns by his members about their health during a pandemic. Also, Gov. Evers honors small businesses that embrace safety for workers and customers.

A bipartisan COVID deal passed Congress overwhelmingly on Monday, but every Republican in the WI delegation voted no to relief for renters, farmers, small business owners, and families.

Whatever you're doing, Wisconsin, keep it up. Coronavirus numbers continue trending in a better direction, even as a second vaccine has been approved and is now making its way to the state. Plus a new federal relief bill is finally approved.

Less than one week in, the Trump administration is already telling states like Wisconsin to expect fewer doses of COVID-19 vaccine than they were first told, for reasons still unclear.
