Maggie breaks down the latest political flashpoints, spotlighting Wisconsin State Rep. Robin Vining’s new bid for the State Senate and Attorney General Josh Kaul’s string of lawsuits challenging federal funding cuts under the Trump administration. These cuts threaten vital educational and mental health programs—particularly in rural communities—while the former president continues to champion tax breaks for the wealthy. Maggie also exposes the erosion of bipartisan norms around judicial appointments and calls out the persistence of wage discrimination against workers with disabilities. The conversation intensifies as she examines Trump’s troubling push to access state election data—another alarming move in his broader campaign to centralize power and undermine democratic institutions.
