And we’ll also discuss the effectiveness of the Trump ad spoofing pudding lover Ron DeSantis.
April 14, aka “414 Day,” is a chance for the Milwaukee area to toot its own horn. We’ll review some of today’s events and deals.

Also, Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil helps us review this week’s headlines around the country.
Proving there is no bottom, the political machine Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (ostensibly a “business” group) twisted the words of a rape victim and a judge in order to produce a grotesque campaign ad meant to benefit conservative Supreme Court candidate Dan Kelly.

We talk to Justin Worland, a Washington-based senior correspondent for TIME who covers climate change politics and policy, about his recent Wisconsin visit to discuss the opportunities available to residents and businesses as a result of the landmark investments available in the new Inflation Reduction Act. Also, Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil reviews this week’s political headlines.
