Head Start provides free and low-cost early childcare for more than 12,000 kids across Wisconsin. That includes many immigrant families and families dealing with the impacts of poverty.  But new changes to the program proposed by the Trump administration may remove class size limits and require all instruction to be in English.  To learn more about the proposals, WUWM education reporter Katherine Kokal speaks with Jennie Mauer, the executive director of Wisconsin's Head Start Association. 

Giving your kids a financial head start may be one of the most valuable lessons you can teach them. Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty explain how a Custodial Roth IRA can help children with earned income start building tax-free retirement wealth early, while learning the importance of saving, investing, and paying themselves first.

This Day in Legal History: The War on PovertyOn August 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act, the legislative centerpiece of the “War on Poverty” he had declared in his State of the Union address seven months earlier. It was among the most ambitious pieces of social legislation in American history. More fundamentally, it committed the federal government to the idea that poverty was not merely an individual misfortune, but a national problem the country could organize itself to confront.The Act was broad by design. It authorized roughly $1 billion and created a collection of programs whose names remain familiar: the Job Corps, which trained young people; VISTA, conceived as a domestic version of the Peace Corps; the Neighborhood Youth Corps; and the Community Action Program. The last of those sent federal money directly to local organizations and required the “maximum feasible participation” of poor people in designing the programs intended to help them. The Act also created the Office of Economic Opportunity to oversee the broader effort. Head Start, which continues operating today, grew out of the same framework.The legacy of August 20, 1964, is genuinely mixed, which is precisely why it is worth remembering honestly. The War on Poverty created durable institutions, including Head Start, Job Corps, and legal-services programs for poor Americans, while embedding the principle that the federal government has some responsibility for expanding opportunity. But the “maximum feasible participation” requirement also produced fierce battles between local activists and city governments that were accustomed to controlling federal money. The initiative was then starved of funding as the war in Vietnam consumed both the federal budget and the country's political attention. The Economic Opportunity Act remains a reference point in nearly every argument about what the government owes its most vulnerable citizens. It also pairs pointedly with a day of legal news dominated by criminal prosecutions and judicial power—a reminder that law is not only a mechanism for punishment, but, at its most aspirational, a tool for creating opportunity.In the trial of the man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, the defense has settled on a genuinely remarkable strategy: asking the jury not to believe its own client. When we covered the opening of the trial, I noted that the case largely rests on Duane “Keffe D” Davis's own words. Over the years, Davis said in media interviews and in a 2019 memoir that he was inside the Cadillac on the night Tupac was shot and that he handed the gun to the men in the back seat. Police had long suspected Davis, but they did not have enough evidence to charge him until he began publicly talking about the crime. His lawyer, Michael Sanft, is now attacking the reliability of those same admissions, at one point displaying a slide for jurors bearing a single word: “b******t.” The defense theory is that Davis is a braggart who exaggerated or invented his involvement to sell books and improve his street reputation—and that self-aggrandizing talk is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.Legally, this is a fascinating position because Davis's statements are doing much of the work a live confession ordinarily would, except that he made them for money and status rather than during a police interrogation. His effort to claim immunity based on a 2008 proffer has already failed before the Nevada Supreme Court, clearing the way for the statements to be used at trial. The case therefore turns on a basic but difficult evidentiary question: when someone publicly brags about participating in a notorious crime for personal gain, is that a confession the government can use to convict him, or is it just talk? The jury must decide whether Keffe D was telling the world the truth—or, as his own lawyer now argues, lying for profit.Defense strategy in Tupac murder case: don't believe my client | ReutersCNN · KELOPresident Trump has announced nine new judicial nominees for federal courts in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Alaska as the November midterms approach. The group notably includes an Oklahoma state attorney who supported allowing taxpayer-funded religious charter schools, offering a preview of the church-state disputes these judges could eventually be asked to decide. The larger legal point is that lifetime federal judgeships may be the most durable form of power a president exercises.These nominees, if confirmed, will continue interpreting federal law and the Constitution for decades after the president who selected them has left office. There is an unusual wrinkle this time, however: Trump's pace of judicial appointments has slowed because there are not many vacancies left. His first term substantially reshaped the federal judiciary, and an aggressive beginning to his second term further reduced the number of available seats. That is why a nine-person slate spanning six states is meaningful in a year when there simply is not much left to fill. The “as midterms loom” framing matters as well, because control of the Senate determines whether a president's nominees receive confirmation votes at all. The administration therefore has every reason to move nominees while the current Senate math remains favorable. Even a comparatively modest batch of nominations illustrates the quiet, cumulative way presidents shape American law—not through the executive orders that dominate a news cycle, but through lifetime appointments that survive countless news cycles. Each of these nine nominees, if confirmed, would represent a decades-long imprint on the federal judiciary.Trump names nine new judicial nominees as November midterms loom | ReutersLaw360 · Bloomberg LawAnd finally, we have a genuinely novel legal argument—literally. The Justice Department is prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly threatening President Trump, and prosecutors are now pointing to Comey's own novel as evidence against him. The charge arises from a May 2025 Instagram post in which Comey shared a photograph of seashells arranged on a beach to spell “86 47.” In that formulation, “86” is slang for getting rid of something, while “47” refers to Trump as the 47th president. Comey said he encountered the shells while walking on a North Carolina beach and posted the image as a clever piece of political commentary. Prosecutors have adopted a much darker interpretation. In a new filing urging the judge not to dismiss the case, the Justice Department cites Comey's legal thriller FDR Drive, published that same month, in which a right-wing podcaster uses coded language to incite followers against political opponents.The government's theory is that the novel demonstrates Comey understood how coded language can function as a threat and therefore knew what “86 47” would communicate. Prosecutors also suggested that he exploited the resulting controversy to sell books, quoting a message to his agent in which Comey wrote that the attention was “not my intention, but I'll be OK if it sells books.” The First Amendment does not protect “true threats,” but it strongly protects political criticism and hyperbole, and the Supreme Court has held that the government generally must prove a speaker was at least reckless about how a statement would be understood. The central question is therefore whether “86 47” amounted to a genuine threat of violence or protected political speech. Using a defendant's fictional writing to establish his state of mind is an aggressive and unusual prosecutorial move. Comey's lawyers describe the case as retaliation for his criticism of Trump. The prosecution sits directly on the fault line between criminalizing a threat and criminalizing dissent—and the government is effectively asking the court to treat a novelist's imagination as evidence of criminal intent.DOJ argues Comey novel shows he knew ‘86 47' post was a threat against Trump | ReutersCNBC · The Hill This is a public episode.

When Head Start was founded, the idea was simple: give low-income kids a running start before kindergarten — not just with preschool classes and childcare, but with health screenings and support for their families.Some 60 years later, it serves more than 750,000 children — and their families — every year.But the Trump administration thinks the program is too costly and inefficient. Last week, it proposed the most significant changes to Head Start in decades. The proposed rules would eliminate many of the federal standards for how programs are run and hand those decisions to the states. They would also cap how much programs can spend on administrative costs.Officials say the changes would save money and open up new slots for hundreds of thousands of kids. Critics say stripping these standards is the first step towards dismantling the program entirely.  What does the evidence say about whether Head Start works? And what happens if those federal standards go away?Find more of our programs online.

The early education program, Head Start, serves roughly 12,000 children in Wisconsin and about 800 in Dane County. On today's show, host Douglas Haynes speaks with Jennifer Bailey, executive director of Reach Dane and president of the Wisconsin Head Start Association, about proposed federal cuts to and looming deregulation of this program.  Head Start is a comprehensive early childhood program that serves pregnant people and kids ages 0-5 years. It's unique because of its wraparound services, from mental and physical health to family services. Bailey says that when parents are doing well, kids will do well. So they support parents to reach their goals, like getting a GED, finding stable housing, or going back to school.  Head Start is a federal-to-local program that also serves the most vulnerable families, those at 100% of the poverty level. Bailey says that she's seen a rise of unhoused families in Madison and the kids who make it into Head Start “are living in trauma.” Reach Dane serves more unhoused children than any program in Wisconsin.  The Head Start program has faced other proposed cuts and challenges during the second Trump administration. About half of the regional offices have been closed, including one that served Wisconsin. And the recent proposed changes to the program would compromise the standards that have been put in place by many providers. New provisions would raise child-staff ratios and mandate English-only instruction, even though low child-staff ratios and multilingual education are supported by decades of research. They also discuss the broad-scale childcare crisis especially in rural areas, what Bailey envisions for a brighter future, and how people can leave comment on the proposed federal changes. Jennifer Bailey is the executive director of Reach Dane in Madison which provides early childhood services to over 800 underserved children in Dane and Green Counties.

Local Government Minister Simon Watts says work will start now, and they'll make final decisions early next year. He told Mike Hosking the plans for those who haven't participated will come later down the track. Watts says there will be a back stop for them, but work won't start on those until next year.

The deadline for local councils to submit their amalgamation plans was yesterday, and Local Government New Zealand is calling for clarity on the next steps. In May, the Government gave councils three months to come up with proposals on how leadership in their regions should be reshaped - with 48 councils submitting Head Start proposals and 17 abstaining. LGNZ President and Gisborne mayor Rehette Stoltz says the organisation would love to have clarity on the next phase of this plan, given some councils didn't participate. "We now know that several councils have not participated, for whatever reason. They did try, but also, some councils like Gisborne and other unitary authorities did not have to take part in the Head Start. So we would love to have clarity about that."

The other is grifting for clout. Radell explains why the difference matters heading into November. Then the debut of a new weekly segment: Follow the Money, This Week in Trump Corruption. Trump Media launched Truth API on August 1, selling financial firms a real-time feed of the President's Truth Social posts milliseconds before the public sees them, at up to 100,000 dollars a month, while Trump holds roughly 41 percent of the company and announces tariffs and military action on that platform first. Warren and Schiff have asked the SEC to investigate. Also covered: Capital One telling a federal judge it closed more than 300 Trump-linked accounts over money laundering concerns, framed accurately as a litigation position rather than a finding, plus the 1.776 billion dollar slush fund and the tax immunity deal at the center of the Todd Blanche confirmation fight. Nuanced News: hackers compromised water systems in twelve states while the President blamed Minnesota, and the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act expires September 30. Blanche advanced out of committee 12 to 10. Elon Musk authorized up to 120 million dollars for America PAC across eight states including Ohio and Michigan, one year after saying he was done with politics. Plus the ADP jobs miss, 25 states suing over tariffs, the Minnesota nudify app ruling, Iran talks, the stalled Gaza roadmap, Colorado River water cuts, and the measles elimination review. Research on a Dime goes deep on Michigan: who Abdul El-Sayed actually is, his real policy positions, the 49 to 47 result, the immediate unity from Haley Stevens and Mallory McMorrow, the down-ballot picture including Michigan 7 and 10, and why the DSA platform is a separate question from El-Sayed himself. Radell lays out why MAGA is the primary enemy, why DSA is not an ally, and why the money story is really a media attention story. Breakdown in the Public: Supreme Court approval hit a record low 33 percent in Gallup polling, driven almost entirely by Republicans defecting after the Court ruled against Trump. Trump approval sits at 32 to 34 across three polls. Plus new data on who Americans actually consider elite. Good News: global hunger fell below 8 percent for a third straight year, the first at-home tick test launches this month, and the Phoenix Species Project puts 200 million dollars behind 100 critically endangered species.

Proposed regulation changes for the Head Start program have now been posted. AP's Lisa Dwyer reports.

The Trump administration is preparing to replace Head Start's 122-page rule book with a much shorter set of federal standards. Supporters say the proposal would reduce administrative burdens, while critics warn it could weaken protections tied to staffing, health screenings and expulsions.

On July 4, 2026, a groundbreaking opportunity opened for parents and guardians aiming to give their children a head start on their financial journey: Trump Accounts. Created as part of the OBBA Tax Act ("One Big Beautiful Bill" Tax Act) of 2025, these tax-advantaged investment vehicles provide a unique way to grow wealth for minors. In this episode, I break down what Trump Accounts are, who's eligible for generous bonuses, how to get started, and how they compare to other common savings options like 529 plans.   You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Understanding Trump accounts for children [04:22] What are the baby bonus qualifications? [09:04] Opening a Trump investment account [11:37] Comparing Trump accounts to 529 plans [16:07] Converting IRA for tax-free growth [17:15] Benefits of Trump accounts    Unlocking the Potential of Trump Accounts Trump Accounts are designed for children under 18 who have a valid Social Security number. Funded with after-tax dollars, these accounts work similarly to retirement accounts, with investments inside the account compounding tax-deferred. That means any dividends, interest, or capital gains grow without being taxed until withdrawal—effectively turbocharging your child's investment returns. Once the child turns 18, the account automatically converts to an IRA in their name. Withdrawals are then subject to traditional IRA distribution rules: generally, penalty-free access begins at 59½, although exceptions exist, such as those for first-time homebuyers or qualified education expenses.   Who's Eligible for Bonuses? One of the biggest draws of Trump Accounts is the potential for substantial bonus contributions.   $1,000 Federal Bonus: Children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, automatically qualify for a $1,000 government deposit. This eligibility is irrespective of parental or child income, provided the child is a US citizen with a valid Social Security number.   $250 Dell Foundation Grant: For children born before 2025 who are under 10 years old, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation offers a $250 grant. Eligibility extends to those living in zip codes where the median household income falls below $150,000.  Trump Accounts vs. 529 College Savings Plans Given the array of college savings vehicles available, how do Trump Accounts stack up to the well-established 529 plan? Here's a quick comparison: 529 Plans: Designed specifically for education expenses, 529 plans offer tax-deferred growth and tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses. They also allow conversion of up to $35,000 to a Roth IRA under certain conditions if the funds are unused for education costs. Trump Accounts: More flexible since, after age 18, the funds move to an IRA in the beneficiary's name. While distributions for education from a Trump Account IRA are taxed as ordinary income (with penalties waived for qualifying expenses), the account's chief power is in supercharging long-term retirement savings for the child. Should You Open a Trump Account? If your child or grandchild qualifies for the $1,000 or $250 bonuses, opening an account is almost a no-brainer. For others, the decision will come down to your savings goals. Trump Accounts offer unmatched momentum for retirement savings, while 529s are still preferred for pure college saving. The earlier you start, the greater the rewards of compounding.    Resources Mentioned   Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  Michael & Susan Dell Foundation Trump Accounts App   About Form 4547, Trump Account Election(s)   Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

Emergency Podcast! Our guests Sean Morrison, Ken Covinsky, and Stacy Fischer believe that you should care deeply about the proposed shakeup at the National Institutes of Health.  Major proposed rules changes at the Office of Management and Budget, would affect a huge range of government grants, from Headstart to Transportation to the National Science Foundation, as well as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the subject of today's podcast. You dear listeners should all care.  You should care because you care for older adults, or you're a researcher who studies palliative care, or you're a chaplain who visited with the family of a patient who died today.  You should care because these rule changes are so sweeping that they would remove standard components of the scientific review process and instead put them in the hands of political appointees. You should care because if rules like this were in place in the 1980s, we might not have developed treatments to stop the HIV/AIDS epidemic.  You should care because if these rules go into effect we will not be able to work with researchers in other countries studying outbreaks of Ebola or Hauntavirus.  You should care because these rules silence federal research into groups of people we care for daily. And if you're not a researcher, your voice is even more important here.  As Sean says, researchers who protest these proposed rule changes might come across as self-serving.  Clinicians who are not researchers -  who can say that these rules will negatively impact the science that improves care of older adults living with chronic conditions and their families - your voices may resonate even more. What can you do? Most of these rule changes are open for public comment here until July 13, 2026.  Every comment will be read and requires a response.  It's ok to respond anonymously.  Personalized stories matter more than form responses. Tips: 1: Say (or just describe to keep anonymous) who you are and why you are qualified to comment. Telling the story of how patients and families you care for or study is enough.  Get your partner and parents to respond too.  Simply being a concerned citizen is perfectly fine. 2: List the exact provision #s that concern you, and explain what they would do. You do not need to quote the rule directly. Just explain what you understand it to mean in plain terms. Political Appointees Take Control of Grant Awards (§200.205); Peer Review Is No Longer Binding (§200.205(d)); Active Grants Can Be Terminated at Any Time, for Any Reason (§200.340);  DEI, Gender Research, and Related Topics Banned as Grant Conditions (§200.300);  Prohibition on International Scientific Collaboration (§200.220);  Conference Attendance Now Requires Express Agency Pre-Approval (§200.432);  Publication Costs and Open Access Fees Presumptively Unallowable (§200.461) 3: Explain the concrete harm. What would happen to your patients and their families if this provision takes effect? 4: Closing: State clearly what you want OMB to do. This can be as simple as: "I urge OMB to withdraw these specific provisions: §200.340, §200.202, §200.205." or "I urge OMB not to finalize this rule." Submit your comment in opposition here: The deadline is July 13, 2026.  You can also email your congressperson or senator.   Times they are a changin'.
