It's another cold Monday and we start by discussing the news of the weekend, which was the killing of a VA nurse by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

In the third and fourth segments of the first hour we are joined by state Representative Francesca Hong, who is running for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 2026. We discuss how she would deal with a federal government that uses threats against states to get their way, her plans for rural areas on Wisconsin, education, health care, her budget priorities and more.
