Maggie delivers a jam-packed hour with guest co-host Angela Lang. They dissect the mounting threats to labor rights in America and opens with the Supreme Court's latest decision that clears the way for the Trump administration's federal workforce cuts, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent warning of dire consequences for public service protections. They also discuss Milwaukee’s potential transit strike, drawing attention to the vital role public transportation plays in daily life and economic access. Plus, Wisconsin AFL-CIO President Stephanie Bloomingdale joins, calling out the "Big Brutal Bill" for what it is: a direct assault on the middle class and all working people, unionized or not. She warns of another underreported threat buried in the bill—preempting state regulation of artificial intelligence. As AI continues to reshape the workforce, Bloomingdale argues that the need for organized labor and strong worker protections has never been greater. From fair wages to workplace dignity, one thing is clear: the future of labor is on the line.
