As legal cases against MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump develop, more Republicans are making public statements condemning Trump. With the Wisconsin false elector scheme civil suit now settled, Andrew Hitt has joined Paul Ryan in refusing to attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee if Trump is the nominee. At the same time, however, Hitt is claiming that he was duped into being part of that scheme. Todd has some doubts that such an experienced attorney could be thrown for a loop so easily. 

After that discussion, we are joined by State Senator Kelda Roys for a year in review regarding women’s rights. As an attorney and legislator, Sen. Roys reminds us that reproductive freedoms are still very much in jeopardy in Wisconsin and across the nation. Contraception and abortion care are incredibly important to women’s health and freedom, and while Wisconsin is clawing its way back to normalcy, we still have a long way to go.

In one case, a Republican senator up north appears to be trying to sue a small news outlet out of business. That same senator and two Assembly colleagues are also co-authors of a new bill that would gut work permits for 14- and 15-year-olds, making it harder to protect them from mistreatment and unsafe conditions. Also: We’ll talk to a WI Farmers Union member who was recently at the White House to mark the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act.

As Wisconsin Democrats gathered for their annual convention, legislators celebrated recent success in statewide elections, expressed optimism about 2024, and groaned over the prospect of supporting a compromise bill with Republicans that provides more funding for local governments and public schools while also making the voucher school program even stronger.
