WSJ: “Streaming TV's ascendance over broadcast and cable isn't as complete as it seemed, a report from the measurement firm Nielsen is set to suggest.”
Patrick Coffee@PatrickCoffee
Scoop: unreleased Nielsen data will turn the “streaming defeats old school TV” narrative on its head. Feb numbers will show the biggest swing away from streaming in the history of the firm’s monthly report. It’s a dramatic change with a big asterisk. wsj.com/cmo-today/dela…

Republican number cruncher Joe Handrick says Democrats have the advantage in the Wisconsin Senate, after the retirement announcement of Republican State Sen. Van Wanggaard:
joe handrick@joeminocqua
DEMs have a bit of a numbers advantage in all 4 seats that will determine control of the state senate. The GOP had the advantage of incumbents -- an advantage that is now gone. Two of these seats are now OPEN (05 and 21), one has a GOP incumbent (17), and one has joint-incumbency (SD 31 - Smith is the technical incumbent for that seat number, but Jesse James is as much of incumbent for the population of the new seat). Democrats now have the advantage in the race to control the state senate. The caucus best positioned to be in a majority is most certainly Assembly Republicans. Second best positioning goes to Senate Dems.

Just had a brief phone call with @potus this morning and asked him several questions about Iran. He noted when he answered that it was not a good time to chat because he was in the middle of a "very important meeting" about it - but said the following:

@ChicagoMPO In Milwaukee, we always ask our mayor off-topic questions, which is the same I found at the Wisconsin Capitol for our governor and lawmakers, and at the U.S. Capitol with whoever happened to walk by.

This morning, Mayor Johnson attended the announcement for the second annual Chicago River Swim. It was communicated in advance to each reporter in attendance that due to limited availability, the Mayor would only be able to take on-topic questions.
This is common practice for such announcements.
