It’s a stormy Monday. Maggie and guest co-host Matt Rothschild dig into Milwaukee’s unprecedented flooding and Donald Trump’s alarming bid to federalize local law enforcement under the guise of fighting crime. They unpack the misleading crime stats, the racist undertones behind his rhetoric, and what it means for Wisconsin. Milwaukee Fire Chief Aaron Lipski and Emergency Management Director Cassandra Libal join to share the city’s heroic flood response and stress why calling 211 is critical for damage assessment. And amid the chaos, the Milwaukee Brewers pull off a miracle win.
