A Madison news roundup covered plans for a downtown ambulance and 28 miles of new sidewalks by 2035, a Planned Parenthood lawsuit challenging Wisconsin abortion restrictions, and estimates of tariffs’ costs to households. At a UW–Madison panel, journalists warned against treating AI as an inevitable replacement for human reporting, while a separate cybersecurity review described attacks enabled by AI agents and exposed credentials. Other reports covered Wake County’s planned 2027 property revaluation, an 85-year-old Braswell Family Farms employee retiring after nearly 64 years, and Montgomery County officials weighing penalties for illegal street takeovers and races. A global photo roundup featured severe weather, conflict, politics and cultural events. A political commentary program discussed the Cornell 7 case, pandemic concerns in Russia, World War II, daylight saving time and U.S. politics.
