New bus service coming to Milwaukee, with daily routes to Madison and Chicago
Beginning this summer, GOGO Charters will debut its Midwest Charter Network, providing daily service between the cities, plus three other stops along the way, a news release from the company said Wednesday.
Fares will start as low as $10 but may cost more, depending on trip length and availability, Jonathan Schneider of GOGO Charters told the Journal Sentinel. More information and bus schedules will be released closer to when the route debuts, Schneider said.
The Midwest Charter Network will also include routes between Chicago and Indianapolis, Chicago and Detroit, Indianapolis and Columbus, Columbus and Cleveland, and Cleveland and Detroit. Each route will include stops along the way.
"Anchored in key Midwest population centers, the network will encircle the region and provide daily charter bus transportation to millions of potential passengers," GOGO Charters said in the release. "With luxurious motorcoaches departing daily, travelers will soon enjoy a refined, convenient, and connected alternative for regional travel."
More information can be found at GOGOCharters.com or on the GOGO Charters app available in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
The new daily route will stop in the these locations:
Chicago: Renaissance Chicago Downtown, 1 W. Upper Wacker Drive

Madison: The Madison Concourse Hotel, 1 W. Dayton St.
GOGO Charters is a ground transportation services company that offers a variety of charter buses, mini-buses and motorcoaches for reservation nationwide.
Daily, non-reservation-based services like the Midwest Charter Network are more regionally based, Schneider said. The company said it plans to introduce "several new routes across American cities" in 2025.
GOGO said passengers can expect "modern buses" with amenities like reclining seats, Wi-Fi and on-board restrooms. Passengers can use the app to book e-tickets and view real-time trip-tracking.

Target customers may soon flee to Walmart due to alarming change
Target customers may soon flee to Walmart due to alarming change originally appeared on TheStreet. Over the past few months, retailers across the country have been battling a growing threat. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs (taxes companies pay to import goods from overseas) on multiple countries to encourage more manufacturing in the U.S., which may cause companies to raise prices for everyday goods. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 'The higher the tariff, the more likely it is that the company will come into the United States and build a factory,' said Trump in an interview with Bloomberg News in October. In April, he announced a 10% baseline tariff on nearly all U.S. imports, and by Aug. 7, higher tariffs went into effect, impacting dozens of the country's trade partners. As the president's tariff policy has unfolded over the last few months, Target () and many other large retailers have been sounding the alarm about the potential domino effect this policy could have on their an earnings call in May, Target CEO Brian Cornell warned that tariffs could cause the company to face "massive potential costs.' He said that Target has been working 'tirelessly' to mitigate the impact of tariffs, and the difficulty level has been 'incredibly high' due to the magnitude of Trump's tariff rates. 'As a company that aims to deliver great products and outstanding value, we're focused on supporting American families as they manage their budgets,' said Cornell. 'We have many levers to use in mitigating the impact of tariffs, and price is the very last resort.' Target might need to make a harsh change in stores to navigate tariffs Amid Target's tariff battle, Bank of America analysts predict that the retail giant may soon have to make a startling change in its stores. According to a recent analyst note obtained by MarketWatch, BofA analysts state that because of its high import exposure, Target will need to increase its prices to twice the rate of Walmart () , its top rival, to weather the impact of tariffs. Specifically, analysts estimate that Target would need to hike its prices by roughly 8% on average to fully offset tariffs in fiscal year 2027, compared to the potential 4% to 5% price increase needed for Walmart. This is only if Target's sales volume and other costs stay flat, and it takes no other initiatives to mitigate the impact of tariffs.'Recent merchandising leadership and partnership changes (including Ulta Beauty) could exacerbate risks in the current dynamic and challenging sourcing environment,' said BofA analysts in the note. In May, Target Chief Commercial Officer Rick Gomez said during an earnings call that the company is in 'a good position' to handle the impact of tariffs due to its multi-category business and the 'productive partnerships' it has built with vendors and suppliers. 'The strategies that the teams are employing as we speak include diversifying the country of production,' said Gomez. 'Half of what we sell comes from the US. But beyond that, we have the most control of where we produce when it comes to our own brands. And with our own brands, we have been on a multiyear journey to diversify countries of production.' He also said that the company is looking to evolve its product assortment, which will help lessen the blow of tariffs. Higher prices may spell trouble for Target The last thing Target needs is higher prices in its stores, which could scare away price-conscious shoppers. In the first quarter of 2025, Target's comparable sales declined by 3.8% year-over-year. Also, according to recent data from the number of customers visiting Target stores per location dropped by 4.8% year-over-year during the quarter. The decline in sales comes after Target suffered multiple consumer boycotts over its decision to scale back its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies earlier this year. More Retail: Target has another big problem amid alarming customer behavior Dollar General announces big store change to win back customers Amazon pulls the plug on a free service for customers Consumers nationwide have also been cutting back their discretionary spending due to concerns about Trump's tariffs. According to a recent survey from market research company Numerator, 87% of consumers are worried about tariffs impacting their finances. Also, 80% of consumers are adjusting their finances or shopping habits in response to tariffs, including delaying nonessential or expensive purchases, buying fewer imported goods, searching for sales and coupons, and switching to shopping at lower-priced retailers and discount stores.

Karoline Leavitt Hints Trump Could Start Hiding Even More Jobs Data
The Trump administration appears to be inching away from the responsibility of issuing a monthly jobs report. Speaking with reporters at a White House press briefing Tuesday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt failed to promise that the economic updates would continue, instead downgrading their existence to a 'hope' while further undermining the credibility of the data the reports are built upon. 'Will the Bureau of Labor Statistics continue to put out monthly jobs reports?' asked a reporter. 'Well, look, what I'll tell you about the Bureau of Labor Statistics—I believe that is the plan and that's the hope, and that these monthly reports will be data that the American people can trust,' Leavitt said. 'As you know, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has made massive revisions after the last several points reports that they have put out. 'And there has certainly been a decline in the quality and reliability of data coming from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and there's been an increase in revisions,' Leavitt continued. 'And this president and the administration is finally tackling this problem that so many have talked about. The president is actually doing something about it.' Donald Trump's new nominee for BLS commissioner, E.J. Antoni, told Fox Business Tuesday that 'BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports' and instead only rely on quarterly data. Prior to entering the fold of the Trump administration, Antoni worked as the Heritage Foundation's chief economist and helped develop Project 2025. Trump abruptly fired BLS's last commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, hours after the release of the last jobs report, claiming that the Biden-era appointee's work analyzing the granular data of America's economy was 'faked' and could not be trusted. Revisions to the monthly jobs report are far from out of the ordinary. Instead, it's fairly normal for the reports to tell a different picture month-to-month, as more data is collected over time from late-submitting survey participants. The report has been published on a monthly basis since 1916, but there hasn't been an issue with it until Trump 2.0. At the core of Trump's gripe with the July report was its revision of figures from the preceding months, which moved the three-month growth average to 35,000. A lag like that hasn't emerged since 2010, and it made Trump's first six months in office—and his controversial tariff overhaul—look particularly bad. The report's downsizing also suggested that while some sectors, such as health care and social assistance, gained jobs, the vast majority of the market lost employment. The absence of a monthly report would be yet another infringement on transparency and accountability between the federal government and the people it's supposed to represent. 'We need to look at the means and the methods of how the United States is acquiring this very important data,' Leavitt said Tuesday. 'The goal, of course, is to provide honest and good data for the American people to make very important economic decisions on.'

Elon Musk's baby mama says she's broke and starting a podcast to survive
Ashley St. Clair, the 26-year-old mother of Elon Musk 's youngest son, says she is broke and on the verge of eviction. To make ends meet, the former conservative commentator has launched a podcast on X — the San Francisco-based social media platform owned by Musk — in hopes of covering rent for her $15,000-a-month New York City apartment. 'Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot be legally explained, I've decided to start a podcast,' she said in the debut episode of 'Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair' on Monday, Aug. 18. 'Not because anybody asked, but because statistically speaking, it was either join this or join a (multi-level marketing scheme). So here we are.' St. Clair revealed in February that she had given birth to Musk's son, Romulus, in September 2024. A paternity test reviewed by the Wall Street Journal reportedly confirmed Musk is the father, making Romulus his 13th known child. The disclosure triggered a custody battle and a dispute over financial support. bad advice ep. 1 brought to u by @Polymarket — Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) August 18, 2025 According to St. Clair, Musk once offered her $15 million and monthly payments in exchange for keeping the child's birth private. She declined the offer and later accused him of slashing her child support by more than half. Musk has said he gave her $2.5 million and was paying $500,000 annually, though her lawyer said payments fell from $100,000 a month to as low as $20,000. 'I'm getting evicted and Polymarket offered me $10,000 to do an ad read,' St. Clair said on the podcast, referring to the American cryptocurrency-based prediction market, headquartered in Manhattan. 'So with that, the roof over my head has been brought to you by Polymarket.' The podcast also veered into darker humor. St. Clair joked about the recent assault of 19-year-old Musk aide Edward Coristine, known as 'Big Balls.' She compared his injuries, such as a bloody nose, to those she sustained 'after I told my toddler he couldn't watch 'Paw Patrol.'' 'He was with his girlfriend, or lady partner — whatever the Musk orbit calls their non-committal fluid breeding vessel contenders these days,' St. Clair said of the assault that prompted President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in Washington, DC. 'He got his ass beat so bad, some are calling it reparations. I'm not, of course. I would never do that. But what I don't understand is why you didn't just let them take the car?'
