The Swear Jar Presidency (Hour 2)

January 20, 2025

Once the new president takes office, the challenge will be to stay on top of what he’s doing to our country and inform others without letting it consume too much of our valuable time and headspace. So we’ll introduce our new “Cussin Jar” to keep us focused on what’s important here in Wisconsin. And we’ll send off the outgoing president with a reminder of what President Biden accomplished during his term. It’s still a head-scratcher as to why he and his team couldn’t craft a message that resonated with voters, but history will look back fondly on a historic economic rebound and long record of consumer protection.

Tik-Tok-Ticking Toward Oligarchy(Hour 1)

January 20, 2025

The “experts” tell Donald Trump’s critics not to use words like “oligarchy” to describe what’s coming because it’s not a word most folks use in their everyday lives. Don’t worry—they will. In the latest demonstration that a handful of really wealthy individuals and companies controls more of our own government and economy, Tik Tok pretended to go dark over the weekend only to turn up again a few hours later with a banner on every user’s device thanking the president-elect for… not really doing anything substantive. Get used to it, but don’t normalize it.

Kumbaya vs. Capitulation (Hour 2)

December 23, 2024

During the holidays and at the end of a long election year, there’s a lot of talk and wishful thinking about coming together and bridging divides. But there’s a difference between kumbaya and capitulation, and there’s rarely been a more important time for people concerned about the direction of our country to avoid walking away from civic engagement.

Halved Isn’t the Whole Story (Hour 1)

December 23, 2024

A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is being interpreted by some as meaning that the number of abortions was halved in the wake of the Dobbs decision that repealed Roe v. Wade, but that isn’t the whole story. Dr. Kristin Lyerly helps us understand the significance of the overall numbers and the folly of politicians trying to interfere with women’s healthcare.
