Here’s your weekly quick look at few developing stories in the political arena:

• On Thursday, the House approved a short-term funding bill that will avoid a partial government shutdown.  The government is now funded through October 4, then the House will have to consider bigger measures to keep the government funded through November 18.

What’s Trending: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Either Google is up to something or there is a lot going on in my hometown, Milwaukee.

MKE News Brief
Brewers beat the Pirates, Scott Walker takes a stab at the back of the economy, the transit crisis is stopping the working class from getting to work, and a dog tested positive for canine distemper, causing a statewide halt on dog adoption.

This is definitely not the sexiest set of articles but at least violence isn’t the cause of Milwaukee trending on Google! I’ll take this news over that any day.

I wanna send a BIG Happy Birthday shout out to Dimitrius ‘Tank’ Jackson, a UWM student that died at a BSU functon that took place on campus in 2007. As the DJ of the event, it was the first time I ever witnessed a death that wasn’t violent at all. It was rare and unfortunate. My prayers still go out to Inglish Grover, the mother of his child and the rest of his family! This is something I will never forget. #RestInPeace&Paradise

#NewMusic: Ag Da Gift “Good Morning America”

If anyone ever says Milwaukee isn’t home to some of the illest, brightest hip-hop artists, I’d beg to differ. Not only is there a lot of talent there but they’re trying to be as positive as they can given the circumstances. It’s hard to be positive when the murder rate is high, unemployment is high, and college tuition is high. Hell, no wonder everyone is high!

My homie AG blessed me with this joint this morning and I wanna share it with you all. It’s off of his ‘Purple Collar District’ project that’s coming soon. Lets keep it positive Milwaukee! Positive Hip Hop After The Jump
