The Wisconsin Supreme Court race—Susan Crawford’s win, Brad Schimel’s loss, and Elon Musk’s unwelcome attempted influence.

The surprise celebrity status of Wisconsin's own Jeremy Payne, who is now in a viral US Cellular ad campaign.
DeAndre Martin’s appointment as the new CEO of CEOs of Tomorrow, and what the future holds for the youth entrepreneurship org.
Basketball phenom Nyajuacni Riak, a freshman at La Follette already turning heads with college offers from UCLA, Alabama, and Minnesota.
The Knueppel family dynasty dominating Wisconsin basketball from grade school to Duke University.
Cory Booker’s 25-hour Senate filibuster, why performance and politics go hand-in-hand, and why sometimes being dramatic is exactly what’s needed.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
