The Budget, The Court And A Garden Of Heroes (Hour 1)
In the wee hours of the night, the very very early morning, Gov. Evers signed the biennium budget. With fans and detractors on both sides, we will now see how these proposals will be implemented and how they will affect Wisconsin. We also discuss the Big Bill For Billionaires, which is sitting in the House at this point, as well as a garden...a garden, of heroes. And its Thursday, so we welcome Civic Media's very own Jim Santelle to break down all of the law in the news this week including a very important decision from The Wisconsin Supreme Court, as well as one from SCOTUS regarding children learning in the classroom.

Underestimate Us At Your Own Peril
In the second hour, Maggie and guest co-host Jim Santelle dive into whether Democrats are constantly playing catch-up—struggling to anticipate the next move from the Trump administration. They argue that it's time to stop reacting and start seeing the bigger picture. It’s not enough to simply decry the courts or the administration—we need to connect the dots and explain how these actions directly impact people’s lives. They also discuss the real point of the so-called "Big Brutal Bill?" Tax breaks for billionaires—at the expense of working Americans. Kristen Crowell, Executive Director of Fair Share America, joins the conversation to sound the alarm: it’s all hands on deck as the bill heads back to the House of Representatives. She stresses that only a handful of Republicans need to step up, protect their constituents, and stand up to the president. Crowell says outrage is growing on both sides of the aisle all across the country. There’s no rational justification for this bill, she says—but there is real, people-powered resistance.

Breaking the Norms
Maggie is joined by guest co-host Jim Santelle as they kick off the hour with Senator LaTonya Johnson. She breaks down the newly agreed upon Wisconsin budget bill and highlights the compromises struck between Republicans and Democrats—emphasizing that, at times, concessions are necessary to improve the lives of Wisconsinites. Senator Johnson also underscores key wins in the budget, including increased funding for childcare and education across the state. Then, Maggie and Jim turn their attention to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on birthright citizenship. They examine how the Trump administration continues to skirt the law and undermine the Constitution—raising serious concerns that, in less than a month, deporting babies might not be out of the question. Maggie also reminds us: we are the ones who must stand up against injustice.
