1. The City of Milwaukee is preparing for Measles. Over the weekend, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services confirmed the state's first cases. Nine people with measles in Oconto County. The Milwaukee Health Department has ramped up prevention and preparedness efforts, in anticipation of a local case. The city has conducted training exercises and secured vaccine doses for anyone who needs them. Measles is highly contagious. In fact, the virus can stay in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves. It's spread through coughing, sneezing, or touching contaminated surfaces. The people in Oconto County who have it were exposed during travel out-of-state. Bottom line: Health officials are urging you to get vaccinated if you aren't. DHS says Measles is so contagious that if one person gets it, up to 90 percent of the people around them may also get it if they aren't vaccinated.
2. A record-setting series for the Milwaukee Brewers results in a three-game sweep of the Nationals. 38 runs and 56 hits, a franchise record over the course of three games. Playing a starring role with Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick out of the lineup, Joey Ortiz, Isaac Collins, Blake Perkins and Brandon Lockridge. Collins, who was just today named NL Rookie of the Month. With 51 games to play, the Brewers own the best record in baseball, best run differential in baseball, and a two-game lead over the Cubs for first place in the NL Central. Meanwhile, Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski are on the injured list. The Brewers made just a couple of small moves at the trade deadline, but nothing is slowing them down right now.
3. The AI Power Struggle. Many communities, including some here in Wisconsin, have welcomed AI data centers, but some of those centers are now straining power resources. Google will scale back use in Michigan and Tennessee when necessary.
