Let's get this week going! In Wisconsin news, Governor Tony Evers' announced that he will veto any bill that forces local sheriffs to coordinate with ICE or lose state funding. Defunding the police just wasn't on our bingo card for the 2025 Republican-led state legislature, but here we are. With a Democratic governor seeking to preserve funding for the cops, and Republicans threatening to pull it. Strange times. Also in matters of Wisconsin justice, Brad Schimel keeps joking about begging for money... in direct violation of judicial ethics.
In national news, President Trump pursues his campaign promises to enact steep tariffs. The tariffs against Canada and Mexico are now paused for at least 30 days. Why? Because Trump 'reached an agreement' with each country to obtain... less than what Biden's administration secured. Huh. So what was the purpose of this 'dumbest trade war'? And why is the SEC now barred from doing their independent investigative work? Well, perhaps it's all a racket meant to defraud the American people.
