Pat begins the second hour with a weekend weather report from Civic Media meteorologist Brittney Merlot, covering the wild swings our state is facing this week. Then, Pat touches on what it would mean for a challenge to Act 10 before this Wisconsin Supreme Court, with two current Justices having ties to the case in different ways.

Our week-in-review panel looks at the whirlwind that accompanied the uncertainty of whether the new administration could actually get away with cutting a massive amount of government services for Americans. The bottom line: Dealing with this president is going to require work—work to fact-check, work to challenge, work to maintain a stable government… but as we learned, it works.
