Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for this final day of the Dom Salvia Show. We covered a bit of news in the first hour. Now let's get to the good stuff. At the beginning of this year, Jess P-S (hi, that's me, writing all these podcasts) convinced Dom to start a new segment. Each day, at the end of the show, we asked you to tell us something good. I felt it was necessary, what with so much of the news being so awful every day. And so I asked Dom if we could use the last segment of the day to refocus, recenter, and prioritize what really matters- our connections and the joy we find in life. And (almost) every day since, we've ended the show with something good.
Now, for one last hour, we ask you to tell us something good. And we'll tell ya something good in return.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for this final day of the Dom Salvia Show. There's a bit of news to cover today, but mostly we're here to celebrate 7 months of the Dom Salvia Show and Dom's 13 years in radio! On the news side, we cover continued fallout from President Trump's tariffs and the increasing likelihood that members of Trump's DoJ will face contempt charges in federal court. Oh yeah, and AG Josh Kaul dropped the entire ball in his lawsuit against Musk right before the spring election. We also talk with Ajak Johnson, organizer for wome of the Wisconsin 50501 "hands off" protests for democracy and against Elon Musk. But beyond that, we really want to use this hour to thank you, the listeners. Thank you for being along with us on this ride, for listening, calling, texting, and rocking!

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. In this hour we continue our discussion on the disastrous effects of the Trump tariffs. Yesterday, our President announced, in a flurry of lies, untruths, and falsehoods, massive tariffs. Over the past two months, Trump has vacillated on tariffs, imposing, revoking, raising, and lowering them seemingly at whims. These actions directly affect US, We the People. He and his income bracket buddies won't feel this pain. The rest of us will. And the shockwaves of these tariffs will disrupt world trade for years to come. We're calling the oncoming economic mess the Trump Slump and we invite you to join us in that!
At the end of the show, Dom and Jess share some news. Tomorrow will be the final day of the Dom Salvia Show. Not because of any Trump Slump, just because life happens! Join us tomorrow for a joyous celebration of all this show has been!

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. As we reflect on the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin, we consider good. We celebrate the victory of democracy in selecting Susan Crawford to be our next Justice while rejecting oligarchy and authoritarianism. At the same time, this was the most expensive judicial race in American history. With around $100 million spent on this race, we wonder how much good we could have done with that money invested in our community rather than on mud slinging ads and endless pieces of mail. Especially when federal funding cuts continue to pummel the most vulnerable amongst us. Today, we learn that Wisconsin food banks will lose millions of dollars from USDA cuts. This hurts Wisconsin. And it's only 2% of the cost of the election. Why can't we work together for good???
And on the matter of Tuesday's election... we've got another bout of deniers. It's not those pesky Milwaukee ballots this time. No, now it's the old favorite: mail in ballots. I know you can't see it, but we're rolling our eyes real hard.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. This hour, we continue our democracy victory lap. We'll settle down and get back to business tomorrow. But for today, we're going to celebrate at least a bit. With this article as an anchor, we examine some of the winners and losers of the Wisconsin spring election. Some big winners: obviously Justice-Elect Susan Crawford, state Democrats, and democracy in general. And a few big losers: Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the Shady Shill BS himself. Likewise, some of BS's hoped-for conservative colleagues on the state's Supreme Court, like Justice Rebecca Bradley, who bemoaned Crawford's win and says she's not looking forward to working together!
As we discuss winners and losers, let us never forget that We the People make this government. And We the People won last night. You know who else won last night? Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), who held the Senate floor for over 25 hours to protest the Trump administration's cruel and reckless actions. Booker now holds the record for longest floor speech, stripping infamous racist Strom Thurmond of the title for his anti-Civil Rights Act filibuster.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Today, we celebrate a win after such a long season of darkness. Finally, after so many losses, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled it off! Oh, and yes a major victory for democracy as Judge Susan Crawford becomes Justice-Elect Crawford. And y'all this race wasn't close. Wisconsin voters gave BS and his mega-billionaire backer an ass whooping 10-point loss! In her victory speech, Justice-Elect Crawford graciously thanked the people of Wisconsin. She also shared a quote from Justice Thurgood Marshall exhorting us not to give in to apathy but to fight for democracy. Right on Justice-Elect Crawford!
Now some on the right claim that the loss wasn't so bad. And in fact, our senior US Senator says things may have been much worse for BS if Musk hadn't made this his campaign!

Wisconsin is not for sale. Our judicial system is not for sale. So why in the hell is the MAGA movement and the world's richest man trying to buy our Supreme Court? We intended to move on from our discussion of the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court in this hour. Really, truly, we were going to move on. And then news broke again of more attempts to buy our election. This newest effort, $50 for a picture posing outside a polling place with an image of BS, gets to the very thing that our pal Maggie Daun called illegal in the first hour. It's worse even that this is blatantly illegal electioneering within 100 ft of a voting location. Because this is against everything our country stands for. We the People are not. For. Sale.
We end the day with something good from our callers and each other. Jess's something good today is Senator Cory Booker, who at the time of our broadcast finishing today reached the 24 hour mark in an historic Senate floor speech. He passed the record for longest floor speech half an hour after our show ended. Look forward to our analysis tomorrow!

Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. On this April 1st day of elections, don't be a fool and don't fall for the BS! Get out and vote for a qualified judicial candidate: Susan Crawford for Supreme Court Justice. In this segment we take one final look at the reasons BS is unqualified to hold the position he seeks. In her time with us, Maggie shares thoughts on the lawsuit WI Attorney General Josh Kaul filed against Musk for his potentially election-interfering $1 million voting giveaways. The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously struck it down, proving they aren't so rigorously liberal as BS thinks...
And if you need one more reason NOT for BS, we share one more. If character matters at all to you, pay attention. The man who "psychologically beat the daylights out of" his 8-year-old daughter and shared that with pride? That's BS. The judge who rules fairly and impartially and follows judicial ethics? That's Susan Crawford. You know the states. No go forth and vote!

We knew coming into this administration not to expect traditional sensibilities of qualifications from Cabinet members. Still, we hoped to see some regard for making America safer and more secure- what with all the talk of how Trump's administration would do just that. And then we got Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense and all those hopes went down the drain. Last week, we saw in the clearest terms that this administration will not make us safer. They will share battle plans on a public app and accidentally include people without security clearance. Now, we learn that Secretary Hegseth brings non-cleared people, like his wife and brother, to sensitive meetings.
Then, we turn to another story that surely will NOT make us safer: deporting people based on their tattoos. Now if those tattoos were things that said "I hate America" or "I am in an anti-democracy gang" we might understand bringing them in for an investigation at least. But we're talking about hummingbirds and memorial tattoos and no due process for people accused of being in a Venezuelan gang.

Over the weekend, the world's richest man graced us with his 'presents' here in Wisconsin. Attorney General, Josh Kaul, filed to stop Musk from delivering two $1 million goodies. Alas, he didn't dot his Is or cross his Ts and our court system flat out rejected the lawsuits. Even our "radically liberal" Supreme Court that one BS candidate rails against unanimously ruled against Kaul. Imagine that... Well, we think the money stinks. With this election shaping up to blow far past the record spending, we hear from our audience consternation over all the money in this race. We hear the anger over the Musky Money, and we hear the frustrating with George Soros's money. But y'all, in comparing these two figures, Musky Money is a full order of magnitude (10x) greater than Soros'. Still, let's get it all out, it stinks!
Then, we turn briefly to an update on how the federal cuts will hurt Wisconsin families. With Health and Human Services funding slashed, Wisconsin is poised to lose $210 million of federal funding for healthcare. Make your voice heard and tell Musk and his money to get OUT of Wisconsin TOMORROW, April 1st! Check your voter registration, polling place, and all items on your ballot here.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. In this hour, we discuss the American system of government. We are not a monarchy. Nor should we be an oligarchy. We are a democratic republic with three co-equal branches of government with checks and balances on each other. Those checks are vital to maintaining and protecting the will of the people. Sometimes, these checks require one branch to step in and challenge or restrict the actions of another branch. So when members of President Trump's administration proclaim that federal judges, parts of the co-equal Judicial Branch, need to be removed for challenging the Constitutionality of Trump's actions, we're concerned.
Also this hour, we discuss further fallout from Signalgate- or Whiskeyleaks if you're feeling petty. A major concern we have over this ordeal is that citizens cannot file requests for documents under the Freedom of Information Act when said documents are on Signal. Here again, checks and balances matter. The Legislative and Judicial branches now must respond to these egregious violations in the Executive.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. For this first hour, we've got to talk money. Because this Supreme Court race is ridiculous. With a predicted total passing $100 million, one man bears over a full 25% of that burden. Elon Musk took it upon himself to fund this campaign ad absurdum, first with massive donations to BS's campaign. Then, he began paying people $100 to sign a petition against "activist judges"- which disqualifies BS for the position. Now, he's paying $1 million in surprise bonuses out to people who signed the aforementioned pay-for-pen petition. This disgusting flood of money into the judicial race distorts the democratic process. And frankly some of it may be illegal. Just today, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul announced a lawsuit against the most recent Musk Bucks episode.

In this hour, we turn to national news and the priorities of this Presidential administration. Today, we report that Health and Human Services- now led by RFK Jr- plans to reduce their workforce by a full third. Despite claims that the cuts will not result in poorer service, we know that's simply not true. And a caller shares his experience just this week with the IRS in this vein. Actions like these cuts show what the priorities of this administration are and critically what they are not. So what are their priorities? Well, certainly the top one is securing enough money to give the richest among us a tax cut. And another is a less healthy population. Take for another example, that amidst all their cuts to research, they choose to invest once more in studying links between vaccines and autism. Because, they didn't like the conclusions of "no link" from the last study. Or the one before that, or all the ones before that.
We end the day by checking in with Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens. Mike brings us an update on the opening day for the Brewers. While we're bummed about today's loss, there's so much season to play!

Judge Susan Crawford joins us to discuss why she's running for Supreme Court of Wisconsin. She shows us she has the character to be our next Justice. This race's spending balloons closer to the projected $100 million price tag. With that in mind, Judge Crawford shares her horror at the richest man in the world contributing over a quarter of the full spending as of yet. Today, we learn that Elon Musk is now also dropping donations by $1 million checks to specific voters who sign his paid petition against "activist judges." Now if those signees really oppose activist judges, they'll turn their ire against BS, Judge Crawford's opponent. Because BS consistently declares that he will be a rubber stamp for President Trump's agenda. He goes so far as to say that Trump needs a support network, which he would be as Justice.
For the second half of the hour, we discuss the role of character in choosing which candidate to elect. Looking beyond how we think a Justice may or may not rule on the state's highest court, how should we weigh their character?

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Last hour we covered the local news, so now it's time to turn to the national crapshow. The big story continues to be the national security breach on Signal. This is beyond amateur hour, this is amateur era. Because the only qualification so many of these Cabinet and senior officials possess is their undying loyalty to President Trump. And now we see the ramifications of their amateur behavior: an astronomical security breach. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added The Atlantic editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat on Signal for the purposes of coordinating a strike against the Houthis in Yemen. Today, in answer to the continued insistence of those in the chain that the thread contained no classified material, Goldberg released full screenshots.

Matt Rothschild joins us for the day as cohost. In this first hour, we talk Wisconsin politics. With our next election just days away, we watch as the financial toll of the statewide races climbs astronomically high. Especially when we look to the contributions of the richest man in the world. We reported earlier this week that Musk passed $19 million in contributions; now he closes in on the $20 million mark. This trend of politics to the highest bidder hurts Wisconsin.

In this hour, we continue our coverage from yesterday on the massive national security breach of classified battle plans shared in a group chat on Signal. Today, the Senate Intelligence Committee held their annual hearing on worldwide threats to our national security. And today, the threats to our national security came from inside the house= or rather, the Cabinet. We share highlights featuring Senators Mark Warner and Jon Ossoff; you can watch the full hearing here. We also share audio of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth completely denying the nature of the breach. This, after the White House themselves confirmed the authenticity of the texts. That said, they deny that they contained any classified information. In that case, let's see 'em.
Y'all, this breach of not only our national security but also our domestic public records laws worries us deeply. Our national leaders communicated matters of national security on an unsecure, unauthorized platform. And the only reason we know about it is because they're so damn sloppy and incompetent, they accidentally added an extra number. We're DAMN lucky that extra number was not only a world renowned journalist but one with the ethical fortitude to preserve our state secrets when our leaders refused to do the same.

Oh boy, it's only Tuesday huh? Well, let's get into it. It's so very nearly time to elect our next Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin! Make sure to avoid BS this cycle by voting for Judge Susan Crawford! Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot here. Then make a plan and vote by April 1st to elect a qualified candidate we can all remember. That's a bit of a joke, because some people are struggling to remember who that BS candidate is and why people should– and shouldn't– vote for him.
Our upcoming election for Supreme Court in Wisconsin matters. Because elections lead to consequences. Like the 2024 Presidential election, which day after day reveals disastrous consequences. At the bottom of the hour today, we bring continuing coverage of President Trump's defiance of the federal judiciary. Today, the administration claims "State Secrets Privilege" in response to Judge Boasberg's order for answers to his questions regarding the administration's insubordination last week. This case, of mass deportation of Venezuelan migrants alleged gang members, draws mass ire from federal judges. Judge Patricia Millet went so far as to say that "Nazis got better treatment" in deportations from the USA.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin by picking up on the massive national security breach committed by Cabinet members and top advisors over Signal. The news leaves our typically verbose Professor gobsmacked and nearly speechless. He manages to call the act "evil, stupid". And after so many years of hearing cries to "lock her up!' referring to Hillary Clinton and a private email, we ask where are the investigations? Where is the outrage and when are the planned hearings? Well, folks. It's time to act.
Our democracy will not stand on its own. We must act and participate in our democracy for it to persevere. Get out and join the town halls sweeping the nation. Whether you participate in the events hosted by Bernie Sanders and AOC or in the zoom town halls like the one Harvey spoke at last night- act! Stand up, speak out, and ENGAGE in democracy!
And of course, we end the day with something good. We ran out of time to address it directly, but Jess put this one on the bumpers for the last segment. It's her something good for the day because it's petty, funny, and very well produced.

We begin the week's news coverage locally with news on the race for our state's Supreme Court. With absolute gobs of money pouring in from right and left, this race will be the most expensive judicial election in American history. And the last one in Wisconsin broke the record as well. Now, additionally, President Trump wades into the supposedly non-partisan race to endorse BS. It's a troubling signal of of the direction our judicial races are headed. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan to vote- WE endorse Judge Susan Crawford- by April 1st.
Speaking of a troubling signal... We turn to the breaking national news of the day: top security officials of the Trump administration, including the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and National Security Advisor shared top-secret battle plans in a groupchat on Signal. That alone is bad. To make it worse, journalist and editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, who does not have classified security clearance, was in the chat. How? We don't know, and wait with eager anticipation for some damn answers.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. Our main discussion this hour is due process- the set order by which justice proceeds in this country. But first, we take a segment to discuss the rallying of Democrats and all those who oppose the tumbling slide into oligarchy and authoritarianism. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) set off this week on a joint venture for Fighting Oligarchy. We need this energy calling out the actions of this Presidential administration to shift power away from We the People to a select few. Because We the People stand for a social contract that binds us together into something greater than the sum of our parts. We better be ready to fight for it.
Then, we turn to the main story of the day. Last Saturday, this administration deported several hundred individuals they claim to be associated with a Venezuelan gang. Two big problems with this. One: a federal judge ordered the administration NOT to deport the individuals. Why? Because, two: this administration DID NOT follow due process to deport these people! Now, the federal judge, James Boasberg, weighs how to proceed after "woefully insufficient" details from the Trump team. Potentially, part of their due process may involve time behind bars for contempt of court.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. In this hour, we discuss the upcoming race to fill a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This race pits Judge Susan Crawford against Judge Brad Schimel- to whom we'll refer as BS. Throughout the past few weeks, we've provided extensive reasoning to vote FOR Susan Crawford and AGAINST BS. Today, we've got more. He consistently demonstrates a deep, abounding cynicism for Wisconsin's people and judicial norms. In this campaign, BS enlisted help from the richest man in the world, who has poured over $10 MILLION into the race already.
The newest scheme highlights the intense cynicism: paying people $100 to sign a petition denouncing "activist judges." This is particularly atrocious given BS's close ties to our President. In fact, BS came out saying that our President needs a "support network" of judges. His own campaign support network mails out literature explicitly pairing Trump and BS. This is not a man capable of setting aside politics for justice. So make sure to get out and vote by Tuesday, April 1st. Check your voter registration and all other ballot items here.

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. This hour, we discuss whether President Trump has the authority to dismantle an Executive Department. Namely, we address the Executive Order he issued today to begin dismantling the federal Department of Education. Now, Congress created the department. And so it will be Congress who ultimately dismantles it- and who has the authority to do so. But in yet another rejection of the rule of law and our nation's Constitution, Trump barges ahead in a reckless path of chaos and harm to We the People.
The federal Department of Education does not regulate curriculum. So no matter how loud Trump and his cronies shriek about "falling test scores," the responsibility lies with states and localities for curriculum. Plus, those tests may not be saying what you think- their "proficient" is the highest category, meaning "above grade level." So what does the federal Department of Education do? Well, they enforce civil rights in schools and oversee school grants and student loans. And who, in this hypothetical where we dismantle the department, takes these over? No one knows!

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. In this hour, we discuss the need for those in the judicial branch to hold a certain level-headedness. A calm, measured perspective that demonstrates high regard for the experiences of others. In other words, Judge Brad Schimel is out for consideration for the state's highest court. Not to worry, there's another candidate running for the spot! Vote Judge Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice by Tuesday, April 1st. You can check your voter registration and all items on your ballot here.
Judicial temperament matters. We want the people on our courts, especially our state Supreme Court, to be respectful and able to set aside partisan beliefs. Brad Schimel shows again and again and again that he is simply incapable of doing so. He calls the justices he seeks to join "dumb as a sack of hammers" and "addled." This is a big race. Not only in terms of finding a judge with appropriate attitude. The total cost for this election is projected to reach or pass $100 Million. Enough already, we need to change campaign finance.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. At the top of the hour, we bemoan the eternal evasion of responsibility and consequence our President enjoys. He disobeys judges and flouts the authority of the entire judiciary branch? No problem. He rejects the authority of the legislature to control the budget? Not an issue! He commits massive fraud in New York and earns status as a convicted felon for it? Nobody (it seems) cares! Evasion after evasion, for his wealth and his status. And now, GOP lawmakers around the country are avoiding holding town halls after those who have have been confronted by disappointed constituents. The latest such case coming from a deep-red district of Nebraska. And what about the less MAGA-sympathetic GOP members like Senator Murkowski (R-AK)? Well she says that those who share her "concerns" are being quiet because they're scared for their political lives...
We hear from audience members who share frustrations and concerns over the trajectory of this administration. And then we finish the day, as always, with something good. Matt brought some Margaret Atwood to share today- listen to her piece "Night Poem" and enjoy the serenity.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. We begin our news coverage in Milwaukee. Well, at least in the conspiracy that somehow, in each election, shenanigans occur in Milwaukee that causes some Republican candidates to lose. Judge Brad Schimel, candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, began laying his election rejection seed corn based on this tired old trope. Of course, we hear this any time a Republican fears they may lose- or after they DO lose- the state. Because of a law that prohibits the counting of absentee ballots until election day. Milwaukee has a large population of absentee voters, and represents a very liberal region. These two factors combine to cause the appearance of a "ballot dump" late into election night as the absentee ballots are finally fully counted and reported. This doesn't need to be a problem. There was a bipartisan bill in the state legislature to address it. Republicans killed it.
In the bottom of the hour, Julie Bomar- executive director of Wisconsin Farmers Union- joins us. Wisconsin farmers will once more face steep consequences due to this round of Trump Trade Warring. Cancelling grants that supported Wisconsin farmers who grew food for nutrition assistance programs will make this worse. Another dark trope we could do without repeating.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. In a time when our nation's President consistently moves toward overthrowing our established orders, maybe we should consider doing the same. Not that we should overthrow democracy. But perhaps we need to change how we approach resistance to Trump's lawlessness and disregard for our national wellbeing. As Trump's administration flagrantly flouts judicial orders and the House makes no efforts to work with Democrats, why the hell did 9 Dems vote with Republicans to advance a reckless CR? As our democracy crumbles before our eyes, why the hell are our elected officials dragging their feet? Where do we go now?
Well, we can look to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his ongoing battles for We the People. Sometimes, that involves an overthrow of the way we've been doing things. So, Dems, get in the spirit and get fighting for our democracy! Do your part by making sure you're ready to vote in the Spring election here in Wisconsin!

What would you do with $100 Million? Can you even imagine what to do with $100 Million? It's an outrageous amount of money. And it's projected to be spent on our state's Supreme Court race between Judge Susan Crawford and Judge Brad Schimel. That blows the record of $56 Million set by the 2023 SCoWis race out of the water by nearly 100%. Is this how we want to elect members of our state's highest court- by who can raise the most money? And when a shocking full 10% of that money comes from one man- the richest on Earth- shouldn't We the People object? Because Musk has already invested $10 Million to this race, we discuss the threat of his involvement to our state's democracy. Our state Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler talks with Contrarian Jen Rubin on the subject. Make sure to check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, make a plan, and vote by Tuesday, April 1st!
Then, we turn to another local story showing a need to change our political ways. In a tragic case of getting what you voted for, ICE separated a Wisconsin couple. That alone is tragic. Worse, one spouse voted for President Trump, in part for the promised deportation of "violent criminal illegal immigrants." He didn't expect that his wife, who overstayed her visa and applied for permanent residence, would be included.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. This week, the courts have been extremely busy challenging unlawful orders of the Trump administration. They secured at least a temporary reprieve for probationary federal workers fired last month, who they order must be rehired immediately. Federal judge Beryl Howell came to the defense of law firms targeted by Trump, issuing a temporary restraining order against the President's illegal executive order. In all, 123 lawsuits challenges have been filed against executive orders and actions of this administration in under two months. It's going to be a long, bumpy 4 years, friends.
So stick with us during those bumpy times! Don't give up on democracy, we've got our next election Tuesday April 1st. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote! And remember to find the good in each day. That's why we end each day by sharing something good ^_^

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. Today, our President, in a shattering of norms, address HIS Department of Justice. Once a department that prided itself on their independence from the whims of the Oval Office's executive, the DoJ is now firmly Trump's. In an over hour-long address, Trump directed the Department to pursue his enemies, whose actions he deems illegal. And who would that be? Oh, you know, the press. This is an enormous departure from the norms that guided the Department of Justice for decades. Justice should be impartial, guided by principles of law. Instead, here we see a president directing them to go after specific people and organizations. This isn't justice, it's an atrocity.
Justice will face a reckoning in Wisconsin on Tuesday, April 1st as we elect our next state Supreme Court justice. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote by April 1st!

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day. We turn to national news that affects us right here in Wisconsin. The federal government led by President Trump and his shadow Elon Musk has operated on a platform that says that empathy is bad. Two weeks ago, Musk expressed that he wants to save western civilization from the weakness of empathy. Their actions reflect this: gutting essential services and mass firings that disrupted tens of thousands of families and attempts to strip citizenship of those owed it by the 14th Amendment. Today, we celebrate a small win as a federal judge orders the reinstatement of thousands of fired federal probationary workers. This will include many Wisconsinites who abruptly lost their jobs. We also celebrate a stand for empathy coming from 21 Attorneys General suing the federal Department of Education for this week's efforts to gut it.
Empathy is a vital human ability, not an evil. That's why we celebrate it here. And it's one of the reasons we end each day by sharing something good with one another. These moments of human connection reinforce the good in the world. So don't let the noise drown that out- embrace empathy!

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day. We begin by checking in on the state of the markets, which now enter correction territory. This isn't surprising- President Trump's tariff chaos imparts far too much changeability to a system that desperately wants consistency. Today, Trump considers imposing a 200% tariff on European alcohol imports.
Then, we move into discussing last night's first and only debate between the two candidates running for Wisconsin Supreme Court. When it comes to chameleons, changeability is great- it's their survival mechanism! So it is for a politician as well. But when it comes to a judge, when it comes especially to a Supreme Court Justice, changeability is deadly. Not for them, but for We the People. In the debate, we saw the constancy and certainty of Judge Susan Crawford. We did not see the same from her opponent, Judge Brad Schimel, who presents an entirely different face to private audiences aligned with his own political agenda than he does to a public group. Just last week, Schimel declared that he needs to be elected to provide a support network for Trump. Last night, he gave lip service to "impartiality." We don't buy it. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote by April 1st!

Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Community guest host today. Continuing the discussion Dom started with Angela yesterday, what should be the focus of the constantly expanding campaign for the Supreme Court of Wisconsin? Well, how about the Constitution? Many ads in these SCoWis races attempt to frame opponents as "soft on crime," which both serves as a racist dogwhistle and to reopen community wounds. Yet the state's highest court doesn't address common crime. It's time for change in these races- and we don't mean change as in money. With $59 MILLION already invested into this race, we desperately need LESS money in our judicial races. Regardless, this is the race we have this time. BLOC endorses Judge Susan Crawford for SCoWis Justice. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote by April 1st!
Then, moving on to another threat to our Constitution, this time our nation's. Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil is currently being held in an ICE detention facility after the Trump administration revoked his status as legal permanent resident. He has not been charged with any crime. So why is he there? Because of speech- a right protected in our First Amendment.
We end our day with something good- always. And as Matt joins us, we have a poem. Enjoy Audre Lorde's "A Woman Speaks," some bird calls, and a call to come together in community.

Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Community- joins us to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court of Wisconsin (SCoWis) race. Read her latest piece up on The Recombobulation Area- now part of Civic Media- on how the SCoWis campaigns have changed over the past decade. The focus has shifted to emphasize candidates being "tough on crime," which so frequently carries racist tones. That's particularly problematic when we consider that SCoWis doesn't hear cases about common street crimes. So what does our state Supreme Court do? Tune in, and make sure you have a plan to vote by April 1st in the general election. Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, then make a plan and vote!
We continue the conversation with audio from Wisconsin Attorney General, Josh Kaul. Attorney Kaul shares his concerns regarding Judge Brad Schimel, facing off against Judge Susan Crawford for a spot on our state's Supreme Court. Schimel failed as our state's Attorney General. That's why Josh Kaul won that election in 2018 and earned re-election in 2022.
And of course, we conclude our day by sharing something good.

We begin with continuing coverage on the economic situation. Today, the markets continued their tailspin, though the pace slowed somewhat. In a turnaround from his first term, President Trump now urges against watching the markets, asserting that their failure is not tied to them... although he's often claimed the "Trump effect" when the markets do well.
A major contributing factor to the decline? Uncertainty over tariffs and a growing global trade war. As Trump institutes, then revokes, then increases, then decreases tariffs, the markets are jittery. So are Americans, concerned over the tax hikes presented by tariffs. But not to worry! Our White House Press Secretary insists that tariffs aren't tax hikes, in fact, they're tax cuts! Now of course, that's just plain not true. And what are our elected officials doing? Well, our senior senator representing Wisconsin, Ron Johnson is once more "concerned," though he has no plan of action to do anything about it.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin with Harvey's reaction and take on the potential looming Trumpcession. Then, we shift to what We the People can do about the oligarchization (Harvey's word) of our government, press, and world. Well, we can protest. We can protest in our actions and in what we buy- as we are seeing with mass rejections of Tesla. And we can protest with how we choose to spend our time and to whom we give our labor. On that note, yet another Washington Post columnist and editor- Ruth Marcus- leaves, citing conscience and journalistic principles. In an age of decreasing diversity of major news outlets, Harvey sings praise of our own humble project here at Civic Media.
We conclude news coverage two itmes. First, the platform formerly known as Twitter suffered multiple outages today, apparently due to cyberattacks from a group called Dark Storm. Second, our President cheered the arrest of a permanent resident immigrant on... well no charges at all. Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card carrying resident, was arrested by ICE following President Trump's executive order relating to campus protests. This is distressing, and a call to action for us all.
Still, we end the day with something good. Because it matters. And because there is good to be celebrated, cherished, and protected in this crazy world.

\We'll be honest, the economic news today is not good. With our President refusing to rule out a recession as a consequence of his bullheaded and chaotic tariffs, markets are down and volatility are WAY up. This will be no standard recession should it come. It will be a Trumpcession. What can we do to stop a Trumpcession? Well, we can stay engaged. And we can work to oust the oligarchs who've taken over our government. To that end, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rallied with overflow crowds in Kenosha on Friday and in Altoona on Saturday. The theme of the rallies: get the money out of politics! It may not be enough to ward off a Trumpcession, but it will protect deomocracy.

Catch up on this week's best segments!
First, from Wednesday's second hour with Matt Rothschild. Our president delivered an address to a joint session of Congress. We have thoughts...
Next, we turn to Tuesday's second hour as Jess guest hosted with Harvey Kaye. The real conflict in this country has never been Democrat vs. Republican. It's oligarch "economic royalists" vs. the rest of us.
Then, from Thursday's second hour with Earl Ingram as cohost with Dom. As we discuss the devastating cuts to veterans' benefits and care, friend of the network LuAnn Bird calls to share her and her husband's story. Then, should Rep. Al Green have been censured for his simple defiance during the 47th POTUS' address to Congress? Probably not. So we listen to his powerful remarks.
And of course, we finish with something good. This also comes from Wednesday's second hour, as Matt shares a gorgeous poem.
Guests: Matt Rothschild, LuAnn Bird, Harvey Kaye, Earl Ingram, Jess Plotkin-Sell
Self governance is a long game, and it requires each of our selves, constantly. With that in mind, a quick reminder! Our next election is April 1st, where our options for self governance in Wisconsin will include selecting a new state Supreme Court justice and State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Check your registration and all items on your ballot here! Part of self-governance includes holding your elected officials accountable. And those elected officials must submit themselves to OUR- We the People's- reckoning. Yet following cool welcomes and constituent dissatisfaction, Republican lawmakers are counseled to cease holding in-person town hall events. And one of Wisconsin's Congresspeople, Rep. Van Orden compares those upset constituents to Nazis... not a great look.
Self-governance is a radically new idea. And it's one that We the People enshrined in a radical document in 1776, our Declaration of Independence. Now, our president wants to move that original document away from the public and into his office. Nu uh, says We.Sneaking in one last bit of news, some national Republicans are now admitting, Medicare cuts are absolutely in the cards. Why? Well, the system's going bankrupt! Who's saying that? Rick Scott, the richest senator and a guy who knows a thing or two about Medicare fraud. Since, y'know, he committed it.
Still, with all the bleh we end the day with something good! Something like this video of Jay Fergusun performing "Thunder Island." That's really good!

Whatcha got planned for tonight? If you're looking for something to do, why not listen to an old Jewish man rail against oligarchy with a message with incredibly consistency for damn near 50 years? Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is on the road, gathering with people who are all looking for "where we go from here". Tonight's stop brings him to Kenosha. Wisconsin's Congressman Mark Pocan will join him for this stop, adding his voice- also remarkable for its consistency to fighting for We the Poeple.
In today's political world, consistency is rare. So we celebrate Senator Sanders and Congressman Pocan. But that which we see on the Republican side is a consistency of dismissal of We the People. Take, for instance, national Republican leaders instructing their members to cease holding in-person town halls. You know, that cradle of democracy and representation. Why? Because they don't like that constituents are frustrated with the actions of their elected officials. Imagine that!

The Morning Show on March 7 featured the cast of, "Escanaba In Da Moonlight," presented by the Community Players of Southwest Wisconsin. Phil sat down with the cast to talk about the upcoming performances.
Guest: Phil Nee
Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day. We all knew the cuts wouldn't stop with foreign aid, disaster relief, or education. Now, veterans and their care land on President Trump's chopping block. Today, the VA announced that- directed by Trump's DOGE- they plan to reduce their workforce by more than 15%. There is no world in which decreasing the number of professionals dedicated to care does not also decrease the quality and availability of care. Is this what our veterans deserve? When President Biden took office, he increased funding to the VA in order to address pressing needs like long waits for critical care. In order to do that, the workforce expanded. These cuts seek to return the VA to 2019 levels- where they were when Biden addressed the needs of veterans. Significantly, the progress achieved through Biden's landmark PACT act will likely be erased in these cuts.
The atrocious proposed cuts to vital funding for veterans deserve censure. But you know who doesn't deserve censure? Representative Al Green of Texas, who stood up to protest massive proposed cuts to Medicaid during Trump's address to a joint session of Congress. Still, the House voted to censure him today. His response speaks volumes, and we applaud him for it.

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day. In no surprise to any of us paying attention, the economy devolves into chaos after conflicting tariff decisions. 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada. No wait, those tariffs are delayed. Or maybe they'll never come. Perhaps they'll be much bigger than that. In response, today's volatility index shows over a 13% increase, an enormous jump. The markets reflect the volatility of our own federal government, where no group is safe from a sudden slash or funding freeze.
With chaos the only constant, it's no wonder even Wisconsin's own conservative US Senator Johnson expresses deep concerns over his party leader's tariff indecisions. The volatility and chaos will bring pain. In fact, Earl's friend and frequent cohost Sandy Williams, a trained economist, predicts a pending recession due to the uncertainty.

The Morning Show on March 6 featured dieticians from the Richland Hospital as they were on the program to provide health living tips during National Nutrition Month.
Guest: Phil Nee
Matt Rothschild joins as cohost for the day. Over the past few weeks, the 47th POTUS' administration has trumpeted their efforts to cut the federal budget down to a reasonable size through the unconstitutional DOGE. And as we've seen, DOGE not only lacks integrity and focus, they lack receipts for anything substantial. In fact, the only verifiable cuts amount to, well, budget dust. And the cuts to our federal income in the form of massive tax decreases for the wealthy will absolutely dwarf any supposed savings from DOGE.
Last night, President Trump delivered an address to a joint session of Congress. Read the transcript if you wish, but save yourself two hours if you haven't already watched the sorry proceedings. More importantly, read fact checks, because the speech was- unsurprisingly- riddled with lies, falsehoods, and absolute bogus. And watch a real speech addressing the state of our union, delivered by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Because the needs of We the People are more than budget dust. And the cuts proposed to essential spending like Medicaid in the President's "big beautiful bill" are far more than budget dust.
And of course, we end with something good. Matt, as always, brought a poem. Listen again to Joy Harjo's "Remember," and take time to recall the beauty and wonder of life.

Guest: Matt Rothschild
Matt Rothschild joins as cohost for the day. In local inefficient news, US Rep. Van Orden (R- WI, 3) threatened a veteran with termination from the VA for inefficient use of his time. Why? Well because the employee sent a message to Van Orden over LinkedIn asking for assistance against the federal firing sprees. Oh and one note, the veteran had already been fired in the mass purge of all probationary federal workers when he messaged Rep. Van Orden...
Also in the local markets proving his true inefficient nature, the king of it all- Elon Musk. This week, a Musk-backed group dropped big bucks on ads aimed at influencing the race for Supreme Court in Wisconsin. With lies. The most inefficient of communications. We do hope they backfire and end up pulling in some disenfranchised progressives who actually believe in the positions they're falsely tying to Crawford. It's also disgusting just how MUCH money Musk can legally pour into this race. Read Matt's take on that situation here. Regardless, remember that our next election is April 1st, when you can vote for our next SCoWis Justice, Susan Crawford! Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot at myvote.wi.gov.

Guest: Phil Nee
Jess P-S and Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat co-host the show today! In the first hour we discussed the vital matter of truth. Now, we turn to the true conflict in our country. It's not a matter of Democrats vs. Republicans. The true conflict comes between We the People and oligarchs. We the People bear rights enshrined in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Oligarchs- those financial megapowers that seek to hoard wealth and power, who FDR called economic royalists- limit democracy. And they form the basis of the 47th President's Cabinet and advisory team. That's a scary thing.
So what can we do? Well, we can resist. We can resist by joining with our communities. Our resistance needs to start at the grassroots, but national organization certainly helps. Check out 50501- 50 states, 50 local organizations, 1 national peaceful movement. We can choose to listen to the voices of our history that proclaimed that We the People are entitled to economic safety, like FDR did in his 1941 and 1944 State of the Union Addresses. And we can choose to follow an alternative national address tonight as our current president speaks to a joint session of Congress. Instead of the pandering to oligarchs, check out 50501's We the People address!

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, guest hosts on what marks a dark day for our democracy. Indeed, this is a dark day for all those who believe in the right of We the People to self governance. Because on this day, our President demonstrated his alignment not with the will of the People but with the oligarchs and autocracy of Russia. President Zelensky of Ukraine met with our nation's President and Vice President to negotiate and sign a deal today exchanging Ukraine's natural resources for our support in Ukraine's existential struggle against Russia. Instead, our chief executives berated, belittled, and bullied the leader of a sovereign democratic nation. And the groups parted without committing to a deal. A dark day indeed.
Still, we end the day with something good. As difficult as it is to summon up anything good to share, that itself marks the importance of doing so. On dark days like today, we must- MUST- resist the temptation to fall into despair. For celebrating love, light, and human connection is itself a form of resistance to the darkest intentions of authoritarianism.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, guest hosts for the day. On this, a momentous and frankly terrifying day as the world order, which has for centuries now ticked along towards governance by We the People, once more shifts. Today, the 47th President of the United States met in the Oval Office with President Zelensky of Ukraine along with our nation's Vice President. The exchange began professionally- though not warmly- and ended in disaster. In what may be a moment of reflection in future years as a moment of dramatic shift in the world order, our nation's highest executive ejected an allied leader from the White House. Watch the full exchange here, events turn fully contentious around the 37 minute mark.

Matt Rothschild guest hosts for the day. At the top of the hour, Matt talks with Dave Zirin, sports editor at The Nation. In a contrary opinion to Matt's guests in the first hour, Dave calls for a deep reckoning within the Democratic party to address the failings that led to our 2024 loss. While he portrays a pessimistic attitude towards democracy, he urges us to resist. Resist the lies, resist the hate, and resist the temptation to curl up and consign our country to the dustheap. Instead, let's raise aspirations of what the world, and what this country can be. We must stretch our wings and reach out for better for all of us. And it starts with accountability.
Speaking of wings, in the bottom of the hour, we shift from Matt's passion for politics to his passion for birds. Jeffrey Worrel joins us representing the Raptor Resource Project. Just this week, the Raptor Resource Project caught- and after some research, released- the oldest known golden eagle in North America! Jeff shares a wealth of information with us, as we end our day with an extended "tell us something good" segment. Of course, with Matt, we formally end with a poem. Today, we share "Beside the Golden Door" by Rita Dove.

Matt Rothschild guest hosts for the day. At the top of the hour, Matt talks with Earl Ingram on the death of longtime Milwaukee journalist Joel McNally. Known for his progressive legacy and self-proclaimed "cockeyed optimism," Matt and Earl remember Joel extremely fondly. He leaves behind work for us all- to carry on a progressive agenda with good humor and kindness. At the bottom of the hour, Joe Zepecki, progressive communications maestro, joins us for a talk on messaging and moving forward. He asks, and it's an important question, do we want to fight or do we want to win? Well, let's fight to win for all of us, and only so. Because the people we're "fighting" are our neighbors.

Matt Rothschild fills in as guest host for the day. Angela Lang, executive director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Community- joins as cohost for the hour. We discuss efforts towards countering the hate, the divisiveness, and the absolute nonsense of the second Trump administration. In this hour, we address the world's richest person, unelected and unqualified, dominating the first Cabinet meeting and AI generated videos about ethnically cleansing Gaza. So what can we do about it? How can we bring some sense to this all as a form of countering the destruction of our democracy? Well, we can protest. As several hundred did yesterday outside Senator Ron Johnson's Madison office to voice their concerns over Medicaid cuts forecast in the next national budget.
Another powerful way of countering the divisiveness is to find what brings us together. Like the first signs of spring in the calls of a sandhill crane or buds on a tree. Or in poetry. As he often does, Matt chose a powerful poem to share to end the show. Listen to the full session of Clint Smith reading his poetry or choose only the poem we shared here.

At the top of the hour, Heather duBoi Bourenane, executive director of the Wisconsin Public Education Network, joins us. Today marks the middle of Public Education Week, an annual celebration WPEN holds to honor the incredible work of our state's public schools. The week caps with a day of action to support public schools, get involved!
At the bottom of the hour, Matt talks with Lisa Lucas, from All In Wisconsin about how to take action to protect democracy. In a time when so many of us feel paralyzed by the intentionally overwhelming noise of federal chaos, we need help moving to action. Here's a helpful guide on how to get there.

Guest: Phil Nee
Carrying over the discussion from last hour on religion and education- because goodness Dom got fired up. Let's start with a simple question: should children be beat in schools for any reason? What about disabled children? Is it okay if it's a teacher rather than a student? Some Oklahoma Senators, 16 in fact, seem to think that adults in schools have the God-given right to use corporal punishment on disabled children. One went so far as to say that banning educators from using corporal punishment- aka physically abusing- children was "socialist" ideology. Well mark us down as socialist in that case. Because in our book, hitting children is NEVER ok, full stop. As an aside, the same can't be said for Wisconsin state Rep. Shae Sortwell, who faced investigation for striking his child so vigorously a relative found five bruises days after the latest beating.
Keep schools as places for children to learn. And especially, keep public schools places where all children, regardless of religion, thrive and don't fear physical abuse from the adults they should trust. Goodness that seems simple.
We end the day with something good. Today, we hear from our pal and favorite Delano Democrat, Harvey Kaye in a pre-recorded message. Harvey delivered the key toast for the Florida Veterans for Common Sense 288th birthday party for Thomas Paine. As always, Harvey knows how to pair progressive passion with inspired eloquence!

Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. Did we plan to spend a full hour talking about vouchers and how they drain public school funds? Nope. But y'all had a lot of thoughts and experiences to share, and we've got an election coming up that will determine the future of public education in the state. So here we are, with a full hour on vouchers and where public money should go. If you love your public schools- and we hope you do- vote for Dr. Jill Underly on April 1st to remain Superintendent of Public Instruction for Wisconsin.

Matt Flynn, former chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, joins us for most of the hour. Our democracy faces grave threats as the 47th President of this nation seeks to subvert our Constitution, isolate us from our allies, and disregard the will of We the People. And is it possible- is it AT ALL possible- that our President is a Russian asset? Matt Flynn, known firebrand for democracy and fierce opponent to fascism and Communism says "Yes." When asked what Trump would do if he were or were not a Russian asset, Matt lays out exactly what Trump would do were he NOT. And it turns out Trump's not doing any of that. His actions instead align with someone intent on furthering the objectives of Putin, a known dictator, while isolating the United States and We the People from our allies. Scary stuff.
Still, we end the day with something good. Because we need the good. We need the reminders that amidst the chaos and the uncertainty and the fear, we have each other. And there are good moments worth cherishing, sharing, and preserving.

Dom and Jess pick up the episode with a bit of carryover from Dom's time with Maggie right before. Because there's more to say on the growing trend of Trump's close advisors performing Nazi salutes. Then, we move into Wisconsin news, where the world's richest person is investing in a new preferred justice for our state's Supreme Court. However, as usual, Musk's efforts lack accuracy, truth, and- well- efficiency. In what way? The new ads funded by Musk's superpac claim that Susan Crawford is wrong for Wisconsin... while showing an image of a woman who is not running for Supreme Court of this great state. Now, of course, Judge Susan M. Crawford is an exceptionally qualified candidate and will make a phenomenal Wisconsin Supreme Court justice.
Then, in both Wisconsin and national news, elected Republican lawmakers face down unhappy constituents in town hall events. Here in Wisconsin, Congressman Fitzgerald and Grothman held town halls where they received choruses of boos and demands for accountability.

Catch up on the best segments of this week's Dom Salvia Show!
First, from Tuesday's second hour- is Social Security riddled with abuse? What about fraud? How about tens of millions of 'deceased people who aren't living' collecting and cashing SSi checks? As fact, reason, and personal testimony from our audience asserts, a big fat NO to all the above.
Next, from Wednesday's second hour with Matt Rothschild- we here in America say "NO" to doofus kings. Especially the orange self-declared ones.
Then, from Wednesdays first hour- checking in on the budget priorities of Wisconsin governor Tony Evers. Clean water, feeding kids in school, and tax relief for those who need it? Sign us all the way up!
Finally, you know how we roll. Wrapping up with something good, from the second hour of Thursday's show with Jim Santelle. And boy we have a lot of good in this one segment.

Is our President a Russian asset? According to one report, yes- the report alleges he was recruited with the codename Krasnov. That's horrifying news. And made all the more pertinent as Trump continues to align his interests with Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin. Trump's planned trip to Moscow in May to celebrate a Russian national holiday with Putin leaves us similarly concerned. Not just us lefties say this- the Wall Street Journal, never known to trend liberal- asserts that Trump is leading us to a new world order with his abandonment of Ukraine and democracy as a governing ideal. And not a more democratic world order. An authoritarian one. So what? What do we do? Well, we gotta get back to our basics. Do We the People in this country bow to kings? Hell no. Do We the People condone repressive authoritarian regimes? Absolutely not. It's basic. We the People are a democratic republic, with leaders elected by and held responsible to US.
As always, we end the day with something good- challenging as the transition is some days. First, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, delivering a 5-minute speech rebuking Trump's alignment with Putin and urging us to embrace democracy. Another thing that's good? This live rendition of Jay Ferguson absolutely JAMMING Thunder Island. And finally, one more good thing: we've got a playlist for all the songs we play on our bumpers! Go give it a listen!

Beginning the show with Wisconsin news, we look first to the race for Supreme Court. As Judge Susan Crawford continues to accrue support from those who seek equitable justice, Judge Brad Schimel seeks and receives mega support from Elon Musk. The uber billionaire this week invested over $1 million in Brad Schimel. We say invested, because of Musk's company's pending lawsuits in the state that may elevate to the Supreme Court. We know which candidate he prefers take that case. Then, moving on to the matters that impact real Wisconsinites. Wisconsin Farmers Union organized a meeting with lawmakers to discuss concerns among their members and the agrarian communities at large over the chaos and lack of stability infused into an already turbulent practice by Trump's tariffs and economic disruptions. The elected Republican lawmakers representing the region declined to attend or send representatives.
For the remainder of the hour, we turn to the economy and concerns over Trump's ties to Russia. This week, the stock market trended significantly downwards. In a worrying sign, a frequent conservative troll thinks this is GREAT news. Sheesh, we don't!

Jim Santelle, host of the weekend show Amicus: A Law Review, joins us for the day. As one of Trump's final Cabinet-level nominees needing Senate approval squeaks past in Kash Patel, we stare down a full hostile takeover of our government. Patel enters the position of FBI Director with a fully articulated list of perceived political enemies for whom he will search for a crime. Not to mention Patel's other baggage that leaves us concerned for his ability to serve We the People faithfully. Meanwhile, the 47th President issued an Executive Order seeking to consolidate power of formerly independent agencies under his partisan flag. They've shown they're hostile. Trump is blatant with his intent to take over each and every crumb of power. How can this be anything other than a hostile takeover? We pray (well Jess does, Dom doesn't do the whole "praying" thing) and wish for remaining federal workers who believe in democracy to hold firm.
Is there a glimmer of hope though? Well, of course at the end of the show we each share something good. Today Jim shares a way to support federal workers who've been fired in these latest moves of wanton cruelty and hostility. With a beer!

Jim Santelle, host of the weekend show Amicus: A Law Review, joins us for the day. The United States Constitution lays out three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. Each branch bears the right and responsibility to check the others to ensure alignment with the Constitution. Yet now President Trump defies this sacred document as he defies the judicial branch and its authority to reign in his illegal acts. This contempt for the rule of law, the contempt for Constitution, and contempt for us all continues to shock us. And the real results of it terrify us as elected officials in Congress fear- legitimately- voting their conscience rather than Trump's will. Right now, federal judges are the final bulwark preventing some of Trump's illegal, cruel, and anti-American executive orders from taking action. Yet they face endless challenges, including now impeachment articles, introduced by Wisconsin Congressman Derrick Van Orden. Stay strong, judges. Hold the line.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost. There's something in the air, do you smell it? It's thick, ugly, and burnt. Smells like the authoritarianism we fought Britain against for our independence. It smells like the fascism we fought to eradicate in Europe last century. And it smells like crap. We don't do that "king" bs here. Yet President Trump asserts his desire to be a king daily, including today by posting "Long live the king" in reference to himself. In this hour we catalogue SOME of Trump's latest affronts to our nation's method of governance. We prophesy that Trump will go down in history as a traitor to everything this country holds dear. Of course, we already mark him as such. For the CONSTANT barrage of lies he spews to the public- most recently concerning Ukraine and who started that war. And for every torch he's taken to our constitution, our country's norms, and the foundations that serve We The People. In what's nearly a footnote to the day, it turns out DOGE isn't delivering on any of their promises as they continue to lie to us each day. Wow, how shocking.
We end the day, of course, with something good. And because we have Matt joining us as cohost, we have poetry. Listen to this 5-minute read of June Jordan's own "Poem About My Rights". Powerful, moving, and deeply relevant 50 years later.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost.
In this hour, it's all about Wisconsin and our path forward! Yesterday, citizens across the state cast their ballots in the spring primary. All wards voted in the State Superintendent of Public Instruction primary, and many wards also voted in school board primaries and for local referenda. After the tally, incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly and pro-voucher challenger Brittney Kinser advance to the general election. Also yesterday, Governor Tony Evers delivered the biennial 2025-2026 budget address to a joint session of the state Legislature. In it, Evers outlined his priorities for funding essentials in this state. At the top of his list: PFAs remediation, tax relief for those who genuinely need it, school funding, and expanded access to health care. Gee, how radical!

We return to the conversation of last hour on Social Security. Following unverified and unsourced claims about massive fraud in Social Security from the musky powers that be, we try to ascertain the truth. Are there in fact tens of millions of "deceased people who are no longer living" receiving SSi checks? Has the system been overrun by fraud, abuse, and corruption? Well, we hear personal testimony and attestations to the contrary, over and over again, from our audience. They share stories with us of their experiences with the immediate revocation and recuperation of Social Security funds following loved ones' deaths. And the facts align with their stories. So folks, when you hear these claims, look for the evidence. Hear the testimony from people with real experience. And don't take what this bogus "dEpArTmEnT of eFfIcIeNcY" says at face value. They've demonstrated a clear lack of accountability.

Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. As usual, we turn to Maggie for advice and clarity on a few trending legal cases. Today, we look at New York City Mayor Eric Adams' entanglement with the second Trump administration. In what appears to be a clear quid pro quo, Trump advised the DoJ to dismiss federal corruption charges against Adams... without prejudice, meaning Trump will maintain a veritable sword of Damocles over Adams should the mayor backtrack on anything he's promised the 47th President. So the question becomes: should New York Governor Kathy Hochul remove Adams from his position? In a rare moment, Dom and Maggie disagree.
In the bottom of the hour, we turn to unsupported claims from shadow President Musk on Social Security. Without evidence, specifically without evidence, Musk claims massive fraud and abuse in Social Security.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. It seems this administration doesn't believe in law, nor order. Yeah that's right, this isn't the party of law and order. It's the party of assault, battery, and corruption. Still, it's shocking that law doesn't seem to matter at all. We begin the hour wrestling with the King of America's- oh sorry, President Trump's- declaration of immunity from lawlessness as he 'saves the country.' We don't think that logic holds. On any ground. Then, checking in on corruption and collusion in New York with Mayor Eric Adams. After cozying up to Trump, the president called for the Southern District of New York to drop corruption charges against the mayor. In response, multiple lawyers and four deputy mayors have resigned. Is this boldness and resistance? Or paving the way for Trump's chosen lackeys to step in?
Next, where are Democratic leaders? In all this chaos, we need firm guidance and action on the part of our elected legislative representatives. And it's been sorely lacking.
We end the day, of course, with something good. If you need a reason to go out and do something for yourself, something fearless, do it for Gilda.

Let's get this week rolling! We begin with a recap of local matters in Wisconsin, from the upcoming election for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, to tariffs. Tomorrow, February 18th, is the Spring primary, where we'll vote on which two candidates will advance to the general election for SSPI. Currently three candidates vie for the spot, incumbent Jill Underly, progressive-aligned challenger Jeff Wright, and conservative voucher-backed challenger Brittney Kinser. Hear a bit from them in Check your voter registration and what else is on your ballot at myvote.wi.gov.
Then, what effect will tariffs have on Wisconsin business and manufacturing? Well, there's just no way to know. There's too much uncertainty and too many unknown consequences, says conservative business lobbyist Kurt Bauer. After that, a brief touch in on the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court. Candidate Judge Brad appears to beg conservative megadonors to start funding an ad campaign.
Finally, we check in on the nationwide protests today opposing the current presidential administration and shadow presidency of the richest person in the world.

Guest: Phil Nee
Happy weekend, all! Let's review our best segments from this past week, eh?
First, from Tuesday's first hour, a bit of overtime with Maggie Daun. Do we want President Trump to be successful? Welllll... that really really depends on how you define "successful." Do we want our fellow Americans and this country to flourish? Of course. Do we want mass chaos and cruel policies? Absolutely the hell not.
Next, from Thursday's second hour: lawmakers in states that voted for Trump now find themselves facing down massive funding cuts that will hurt their constituents. Isn't it cute how they thought they were only going to 'own the libs' and not feel an ounce of the pain they so self-righteously crowed would befall Democrats? No, of course it isn't. No American's pain is good. And. And you get what you voted for.
Then, how is this presidential administration's first 100 days shaping up compared to FDR's? We ask and discuss with our favorite Delano Democrat, Harvey Kaye, from our second hour on Monday.
Finally, let's wrap it up with something good! Als from Thursday's second hour, a few moments of peace.
