Maggie takes aim at the ongoing assault on Wisconsin’s public education system, exposing the chronic defunding and the unchecked expansion of voucher schools that drain resources without accountability. She speaks with Representative Angelina Cruz, who shares her journey from teacher to lawmaker—sparked by anti-union legislation and deep education cuts. Maggie also unpacks the political battleground over vaccines, calling out RFK Jr.’s anti-science rhetoric and warning of the public health risks it poses. With urgency and conviction, she challenges all of us to stand up against policies that endanger both education and community well-being.

Follow-up from yesterday’s conversation with Rep. Amaad Rivera-Wagner: The VHRP bill (Senate Bill 385, Assembly Bill 383) was referred in the Senate to the Senate Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, and State and Federal Affairs, chaired by Sen. Chris Kapenga.
