1 If this US Supreme Court would repeal the right to same sex marriage and send it to each state to decide, will it be automatically banned in Wisconsin?
2. Back in the day, do you think this U.S. Supreme Court would have allowed the states to decide the slavery question?
Political Q: You foresee any change in how tax dollars are returned to cities, or is the WI GOP going to double down and continue to sit on the surplus?
For Wisconsin, how do you see the Legislature operating this year with a smaller majority (also with the GOP trifecta on the federal, if that even makes a difference).
2. What’s your opinion of third party competitiveness in Wisconsin this year and going forward? Do you believe it would benefit third parties, like the Working Familes Party, to build their candidates for ‘26 (possibly ‘28)?
Long time listener, first time caller, heh heh ... so anyway, will Charlie Sykes ever dish any dirt about how the right-wing noise machine worked, back when he was enmeshed in it? I'm curious who wrote the blast faxes, and most of all how message discipline was enforced. It was amazing how everyone from U.S. Senators to radio squawkers to pundits to people you argued with online all thought the exact same thoughts IN UNISON. Were there punishments for straying from the orthodoxy?
Did you know there are thousands of Wisconsin voters living abroad? We volunteers at www.votefromabroad.org try our hardest to reach them with the information they need, but it can be hard. Would you be willing to help amplify our GOTV message to Wisconsinites around the world in time for the spring 2025 election?
The Milwaukee metro area has the worst post-pandemic (2020 to present) job growth in the country (along with SF and Minneapolis), which seems under-discussed in all the talks of optimism, companies moving downtown and 1 Million milwuakeeans from local government officials. Is it irresponsible for the mayor and others to project optimism in a city with declining population, high crime and worst in the nation job growth?
In-state question: any thoughts on the long-running brouhaha (okay, yes, pun intended) between Oneida County and Minocqua Brewing Company's owner Kirk Bangstad?
Hey Dan!
Two questions:
1. Are there any big items we already know to be on the look out for in terms of Milwaukee gov/politics when the calendar turns to 2025?
2. What are your go to's for your Thanksgiving plate?
Thanks!

Non political: Bucks in six this year?
Hey, Dan! Happy Holiday season!

Thanks for the question! Can you share the source of that data?

Question: why such an unreasonably large judgement in the Stephanie Rapkin case?
