We begin today’s second hour with another check-in from Wisconsin Watch Reporter Tom Kertscher. He joins us to share his reporting on the Wisconsin Democratic Convention that was held near Wisconsin Dells this weekend. One of his biggest takeaways is that Democrats agree that MAGA authoritarianism is a real threat to our democracy, but there is little if any agreement on how to address the issue. Tom also shares his latest fact briefs, which are short fact checks on things our elected officials claim. 

At the bottom of the hour, Clean Wisconsin Communications Director Amy Barrilleaux joins us to celebrate National Pollinator Month! Today, Amy talks about common chemicals and pesticides that hurt pollinators and what we can do to reduce exposure. 

Amy also hosts Clean Wisconsin’s podcast, The Defender! You can check out her work and more at cleanwisconsin.org.
