Dom has the day off, so our favorite birdwatcher Matt Rothschild is in the guest host chair! After President Biden pardoned his son Hunter, Americans are wondering whether he will issue mass pardons to potential targets of the incoming Trump administration. Matt takes your calls on whether you think it's a good idea.

At the bottom of the hour, Matt is joined by Jeff Mandell, President and General Counsel of Law Forward. Law Forward is a nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting democracy in our state, and they have been instrumental in getting fairer maps. Most recently, they helped lead the push to throw out Act 10. Jeff explains the alleged goals of Act 10, detailing why its language is illogical and betrays the bill's partisan motives. Instead of a clear delineation between "general" and "public safety" workers, Act 10 contains arbitrary definitions that line up with Scott Walker's supporters at the time it was passed. Matt also asks Jeff about Law Forward's other accomplishments over the last several years.
