1. Law enforcement in Washington State believe they are closing in on murder suspect Travis Decker. The Pewaukee native is accused of kidnapping and killing his three young daughters and leaving their bodies in a campground. The Chelan County Sheriff's Office says it received a tip from a hiking party about a lone hiker who was avoiding others and was "ill-prepared for trail and weather conditions." Nicole Moss was driving through the search area, and says, she was taken aback by the law enforcement presence. The feds really thought they had Decker yesterday-- but they didn't get him. Investigators say the Pewaukee native suffocated his three daughters. They were just five, eight, and nine.
2. A federal appeals court rules President Trump's global tariffs CAN remain in place, for now. That means Trump's 10% global baseline tariff, plus additional levies on China and other nations, will remain in place pending further litigation. The stay came down just minutes after U.S. trade negotiators in London said they'd reached a "framework" with China to fully implement a deal struck last month in Geneva. In a post on Truth Social, Trump writes that a “deal” with China has been completed.
3. In the next 18 months, an entertainment giant plans to open, or break ground, on 18 new concert sites across the country. Here in Milwaukee, it already has! Live Nation is a stakeholder in the FPC Live venue that broke ground last year in the Deer District. It's scheduled to open before the end of the year. The new spot, on the site of the old Bradley Center, will fit 45-hundred concert goers. Live Nation is really bullish on this year. They're calling it their biggest year of LIVE music ever. To support their massive new investment program, they've hired 37-thousand U.S. workers. They're also providing more than a million tickets to summer shows across the country for just 30 dollars.
