Gov. Tony Evers proposed a capital budget of more than four-billion-dollars yesterday. The largest asks are for building projects. Wisconsin voters will decide this spring election whether to enshrine a voter ID requirement in the state's constitution. And, Waukesha County Judge and former Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel is running for the empty state Supreme Court seat. WPR's Rich Kremer will have more on the candidate.

You might not be aware of it, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump taking virtually all the air out of the news lately, but the State of Wisconsin has one of the MOST important elections in the USA for 2025 coming up in just over a month! On Tuesday, April 1st, Wisconsin's GOP wants to pull the most cruel April Fool's joke ever by ripping control of our state's Supreme Court away from us after just two short years. With Ann Walsh Bradley retiring after 30 years of liberal rulings, the 4-3 liberal mix of the court would be put back in conservative hands if Scott Walker's former Attorney General Brad Schimel is allowed to beat Susan Crawford in this spring election. We go over what is at stake.Next, we review how the recent strategic firings at the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (The NLRB and the EEOC, respectively) hamstring those organizations' ability to act in any way, robbing them each of the quorum necessary to act on behalf of workers nationwide. Then we read, with permission, the writings of our UK friend George Monbiot, as he details how there, those who had been pointing out the ways in which their society needed to be improved to forestall calamity were pushed aside in a way that's all too familiar here in the United States. All this and more on TMI for Friday, February 21, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Attorney General Brad Schimel recently announced the Department of Justice has resolved the longstanding problem of a backlog of untested sexual assault kits. That might puzzle the average consumer of mainstream media reports, which have painted Schimel as a skinflint who put the decades-old backlog on the back burner. The media's been ignoring key facts about the backlog in order to push a narrative - they put the facts on the back burner.

Attorney General Brad Schimel's legal team scored a major victory in one lawsuit challenging Obamacare. In this conversation with MacIver's Matt Kittle, originally airing on News/Talk 1310 WIBA, Schimel announces that Wisconsin won a judgment for nearly $90 million after a District Court ruled one hefty Obamacare tax was an illegal tax on states. Just hours later, the mainstream media followed and reported the story. Schimel discusses that and a second lawsuit challenging Obamacare's constitutionality in this week's MacIver Report Extra podcast.

We dig into the results from Tuesday’s special legislative elections in Wisconsin and the ramifications for the general election. Next, we welcome Lindsay Dorff, Northeast WI Organizing Cooperative Steering Committee member, to discuss gerrymandering in Wisconsin and the pending Supreme Court verdict for the Gil v Whitford case. Lindsay also tells us about the Citizen Action Northeast Cooperative’s member assembly this Saturday and their Governor candidate forum next Saturday, June 23rd.

Recently, 20 States, led by Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas and Attorney General Brad Schimel of Wisconsin, filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare based upon Chief Justice John Robert's reasoning in NFIB. The Chief Justice had reasoned that Obamacare's individual mandate is only constitutional because it can be read together with a related tax penalty provision as a single tax. In the recent tax reform law, Congress eliminated the tax penalty, but left the individual mandate in place. Misha Tseytlin, Solicitor General of Wisconsin, explains the States' argument that this change in law renders the individual mandate unconstitutional under the Chief Justice's reasoning and that other portions of the law are inseverable from the mandate. Professor Jonathan Adler explains why he is skeptical of the state AGs' claims and identify potential obstacles to this suit's success.Featuring:Prof. Jonathan Adler, Johan Verheij Memorial Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Business Law & Regulation, Case Western Reserve University School of LawMisha Tseytlin, Solicitor General for the State of WisconsinTeleforum calls are open to all dues paying members of the Federalist Society.
