LGBTQ Rights and the WI Supreme Court Election (Hour 1)
In the race for an opening on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, two of the candidates are favored by many progressives—while the two conservative candidates have questionable records on whether they believe LGBTQ individuals are deserving of the rights that should be equal to all Americans. A Green Bay attorney provides perspective as a trans woman and former candidate for judge. Rachel Maes has been put through smear campaigns ranging from whispers to the bellowing of right-wing radio.
How to Use “People Are Saying” as a Reason to Lie (Hour 1)
It is the heart of the business plan for right-wing media: Spread dirt about a political opponent with untrue or unsubstantiated claims—not by making the claims yourself, but by using the excuse that “people are saying” this. It’s the point of a lie being spread by Wisconsin’s newest member of Congress, Derrick Van Orden.

The Mental Health of Politicians Opposed to Mental Health Care (Hour 1)
Honestly, who’s against finding more ways to help people facing a serious mental health crisis? Who’s against helping veterans with PTSD? Who’s against helping kids at risk of suicide? The answer, of course, is the legislative Republicans who once went so far as to fire one of Gov. Evers’ cabinet secretaries for seeking more mental health resources for farmers. Democratic strategist Melissa Baldauff reviews the governor’s new mental health proposals and tries to make sense of GOP opposition.
Roe at 50: A New Fight (Hour 1)
Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling protecting women’s private healthcare decisions, was reversed in 2022 by right wing justices who lied during their confirmation hearings about abortion rights being “settled law.” Dr. Kristin Lyerly talks about accompanying the US Secretary of Health and Human Services during a Friday visit to Wisconsin as part of the fight to restore women’s control over their own bodies.
