This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by Newslaundry's Anmol Pritam and The News Minute's Nidhi Suresh.While the rest of the country exhaled a sigh of relief at the announcement of a ceasefire in the India-Pakistan conflict, Poonch held its breath – and bled quietly. Nidhi and Anmol were on the ground, when the cross-border shelling began. Thirteen lives were lost. Thirteen names that won't make it into strategic briefings or celebration speeches. Parents buried their twins, Zain Ali and Urwa Fatima – born five minutes apart, and died five minutes apart. In another home, a wedding that was about to be planned turned into a funeral when the father of the bride-to-be never came home. These aren't just tragic anecdotes. This is the aftermath of a conflict that never really ends for the people living on its edge. Nidhi and Anmol's reports on the families in both the city and the villages reveal that all of them carry the same expression – numb, disbelief, and tired of being forgotten. Their stories don't scream, they ache. And in that ache lies a quiet question: why is Poonch always left behind?They came back with more than interviews. They came back with grief, with names, with stories that deserve to be told. Stories of loss, of resilience, of people who live through war long after the last gun falls silent.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:15 - From Tension to Tranquility: Ceasefire was announced 00:09:34 - Shelling without Warning: The Unseen Threat Lurked in Poonch00:36:56 - Misinformation flooded in mainstream and social media 00:43: 58 - RecommendationsRecommendationsNidhiSociety Girl: A Tale of Sex, Lies, and Scandal AnmolSaving Private RyanBasantAmerican Man Hunt: Osama Bin Laden Produced and edited by Hassan Bilal, Ashish Anand and Tista Roy Chowdhury, recorded by Anil Kumar.

It was a disappointing, but all too predictable, start to the state budget writing process last week. The Joint Committee on Finance began by tossing the governor's $120 billion budget proposal – choosing instead to use the current budget as its starting point. The current $100 billion budget. In other words, they don't plan to cut anything. Current spending is now locked in – and throughout the executive hearings this month, committee members will just be adding to the pile. How much more do they plan to spend? Well, that will depend on the new tax revenue estimates that are scheduled to come out this Thursday. Sen. Marklein wants to increase spending on public education and healthcare. He says the estimates will determine how high they can go. It would have been nice to see the committee start the budget at $0 and make every agency and program justify all its funding. Instead, it's just business as usual in Madison, and no one can say they're very surprised.
One of the secret perks of being governor is the ability to take foreign vacations on the taxpayer dime. Oh sure, officially they're called “trade missions,” and their purpose is to promote Wisconsin products overseas, but their results are nothing to write home about. Evers' first big trip was to Japan in 2019. Of course, he took his wife. There were 28 people in the delegation all together. Since then, total annual exports from Wisconsin to Japan have dropped 11%. That's $83 million a year. Agricultural exports even worse. They've plummeted by 35%. Evers choose Europe for his second vaca- trade mission. That was two years ago. He visited Belgium, a fast-growing market for Wisconsin goods – at least it was until Evers' visited. Since then, exports have dropped by 15%. Now, Evers just got back from a third trip. This one was to Germany, another hot market for Wisconsin goods. We'll see if it stays that way now that Evers stopped by to shake hands.
If you make less than $48,000 a year, the state of Wisconsin will pay to have you sterilized. You heard that right. The state of Wisconsin actually has a program that sterilizes poor people. It's all part of the department of health services' family planning only services program, which falls under medical assistance. Apparently, this has been going on for the past 40 years. It flies below the radar because DHS never mentions it in its budget requests – and the department doesn't really keep track of it either. When the MacIver institute asked for the costs and participation numbers in its sterilization program, DHS said the records were buried its database and could not be easily retrieved. So, sinister and unaccountable. The whole idea of sterilizing poor people harkens back to progressive era eugenics programs, that sought to improve the gene pool. Wisconsin banned the practice back in the 1970s, but apparently, progressives simply rebranded it as “family planning.”
Nothing in life is simple or easy when the government gets involved. Take the city of waterloo Wisconsin for example. Not really a liberal place. Trump won there. But when some residents wanted to get backyard chickens – the city government lost its mind. Following months of committee meetings, draft proposals, hearings and debates, it finally hatched a plan. The city will issue up to six licenses at $50 each. There are 21 requirements. Seven different breeds are not allowed. And the best part – this is only a 2-year pilot program to figure out whether residents should be allowed to keep chickens or not. The city can pull the plug on the whole thing at any time. You might get all ruffled up about what's going in Washington or even in the state capitol – but this is a great example of what happens when you overlook what's going on in your own backyard.
This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, and Manisha Pande are joined by The News Minute's Sudipto Mondal and Supreme Court lawyer Talha Abdul Rahman.On the controversial Waqf Amendment Bill, passed in Parliament this week after long fiery debates, Talha says: “Every Waqf that is now created will have to register themselves with the central depository.” He adds that the statute is “a translation of a WhatsApp forward.”Sudipto questions the motivation behind bringing in the legislation and the manner in which it will be used. He says that the new bill will now “weaponise” bulldozer demolitions, which are increasingly becoming the norm. Manisha puts focus on the misinformation being spread in mainstream media about the bill. She mentions one anchor claiming that the new bill will ensure “no one can stop the Prime Minister's plane from taking off because Waqf can no longer claim the airport.”The panel also discusses the student protests in University of Hyderabad against tree felling on 400 acres of forest land. Commenting on the Supreme Court taking suo-moto cognizance of the case, Sudipto says, “It's a great victory for people's movements, students' movements.” This and a lot more.

No one ever questions the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) and with good reason. It is a non-partisan office of absolute professionals who serve as the legislature's official accountants. But they are dead wrong when they say that Gov. Evers' budget would raise taxes and fees by $2.6 billion. It's not even close. $2.6 billion is less than half of what it would actually be. The biggest omission is Evers' plan to increase hospital assessment fees by $3.3 billion to increase funding to Medicaid. Hospitals will, of course, shift those costs onto other patients who are not on Medicaid. That brings Evers' total up to at least $5.9 billion. There's even more to this story that you can apparently only get from the MacIver Institute.
What do you do when you wake up one morning and learn your local government is hell-bent on making a terrible decision. It could be anything – a bad real estate deal, an idiotic public works project, maybe it's a high-density housing project in your sleepy suburban downtown. I get calls about these things all the time, and I hate to say it, but it's usually too late to do anything about it. Sure, you might be able to flood the council chambers with enough angry residents to move the needle, but you're just throwing a “Hail Mary” at that point. You have to realize that when you elect someone to public office, you give them the authority to make decisions on your behalf. So, you have to make sure to elect the right ones up front. Then you have to attend their meetings regularly to make sure they stay on track. You can't just expect to pop in at the 11th hour and exercise a “citizen's veto,” because there's no such thing. I call these situations painful lessons in civics, and they're going to keep happening until conservatives start taking their responsibilities as citizens seriously.
This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri and Manisha Pande are joined by The News Minute's Dhanya Rajendran and The Wire's Seema Chishti.The panel first discusses the recent crackdown on pro-Palestine student protests in US campuses and deportation of two Indian students, Ranjani Srinivasan and Badar Khan Suri. Dhanya says, “Ranjani insisted that she was not a huge part of the protest, but Indian newspapers had already labeled her a Hamas supporter”.As the panel draws parallels between what is happening in the US and the clampdown on student protests in India, Manisha says: “I always thought that in American universities, despite their issues, there was a certain freedom to voice your opinions. For that to go away is quite something to see."Abhinandan then moves to discussing if the concept of patriotism can be considered primitive. He says: “Patriotism is love for your country, but your country may be pursuing values based on whichever government is in power. And that value system may not align with yours.” As the panel debates what it means to be a patriot, Seema adds, “True patriotism should be about wanting better lives for fellow citizens, not blind devotion to the government."The panelists then talk about how the English news media gets to set the narrative in India. On regional media's limited influence compared to its English counterpart, Manisha says: "English newspapers still have an outsized influence because bureaucrats, judges, and policy-makers read them”. However, English news channels, she points out, “are losing relevance”. “Politicians now prefer giving interviews to local YouTubers and regional media because that's where the numbers and voters are”.This and a lot more.

Two weeks ago, Bernie Sanders came to Wisconsin parading some crossdresser around who was singing the most vile and vulgar songs about God in front of cheering crowds of everyday liberals. Last week, a democrat representative from Ashland lectured republican lawmakers about how there are just as many hermaphrodites in the us as there are redheads. You would think stunts like these would alienate the left from the general public, and yet, they only seem to be getting bolder, louder, and crazier. That's probably because the right keeps voluntarily giving up ground to them. Bernie and his friends essentially got a pass on their outright blasphemy. No one dared correct that democrat in committee about her make-believe transgender statistics. For some reason, the right allows the lunatic left to set the terms, conditions, and definitions for all public discourse. Until they decide to get serious about pushing back – the culture war will continue to be a rout against rational thought.
ALEXANDRIA - In this episode of the Echo Press News Minute, reporter Celeste Edenloff profiles an Alexandria woman being honored for more than 40 years volunteering for her community. We look into an idea being floated for chickens in the city limits, a project that would add 64 units of workforce apartments, and the results — and a recipe — from the Great Hotdish Bakeoff. Check out the top headlines from March 9-15 below: Helen Feda of Alexandria chosen as the 2025 Volunteer of the Year Chickens, cannabis, replica of Kensington Runestone and more discussed by city, county leaders Loan agreement approved for Twenty08 apartments in Alexandria Winner of this year's 'Great Hotdish Bake-Off' in Alexandria was Central MN Elder Network Boys Swim and Dive: Alexandria finishes in upper-echelon of Class A with 5th place finish at state Women's History Month: Theresa Thomas Hicks 1836-1918 TJ Maxx to open in Alexandria on Sunday, March 16 Alex College to host 'Battle in the North 2025' eSports event Felony theft charge dropped in Wendy Hoff case involving signs Area Scouts take part in annual Klondike Derby at Kensington Rune Stone Park Girls Basketball: Alexandria wears down DeLaSalle in MSHSL Class 3A State Tournament quarterfinal win
India is the world's most populous nation, it has a young population and dynamic growth rates – yet problems persist. This debate, from the country's technology capital, Bengaluru, tackles pressing issues such as IT workers' rights, the city's struggling infrastructure, and the national situation for religious minorities. The discussion is led by questions from the audience and chaired by Jonny Dymond.The panel: Surabhi Hodigere: BJP spokeswoman Kumar Naik: MP for the opposition INC Party T.V.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Jayashree Arunachalam, and Shardool Katyayan are joined by Nitin Pai, director of Takshashila Institution, and The News Minute's Shabbir Ahmed.The panel first discusses the inception and functioning of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) – a new department set up by the United States government and headed by tech billionaire Elon Musk.Nitin says the reason behind something like DOGE “is not just efficiency.” “The ideological reason is to create a government full of people who will act according to the rules of Donald Trump,” he says, adding that federal government employees were laid off en-masse to create fear and uncertainty in the minds of rank and file civil servants. On the importance of “small governments,” Shardool says that any system meant to be working fairly working for citizens will be complex. “Mandates given to governments are not for them to run in a fiscally efficient manner, but to run fairly and independently,” he adds. Jayashree then delves into the ongoing “language wars” between the Tamil Nadu government and the union government over the National Education Policy's three-language formula. “The implication that Hindi means the extermination of a local language is true,” she says. Shabbir adds that the union government demands the NEP to be accepted in its entirety: “The problem the TN government has is that NEP is a uniform policy on education, but education is in the concurrent list. States were not consulted before forming it.”This and a lot more. Tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows. If you want to write to Hafta, click here.

Today is Tuesday, February 18th, and tonight Gov. Evers will tell us how he plans to tackle the state's $860 million structural deficit. What's that? You thought we had a $4 billion budget surplus? Well, that's how much the state expects to have in the general fund this June. However, based on spending requests from Evers' agencies, two years from now Wisconsin will be deep in the red. Now to be fair, agencies don't get everything they ask for, but they did base their requests on Evers' direct guidance. So now Evers is going to have figure out where to cut $860 million from, or where he wants to increase taxes and borrowing to make up the difference. Whatever he comes with, it's sure to be a mess, so don't be surprised when the legislature scraps his entire budget and starts over from scratch, as usual.

Gov Evers has declared 2025 to be the year of the kid, and if you're a parent it should make your skin crawl. In Evers vision, everything your kid needs is provided by the state. You're not even in the picture. When your kids are in school, they'll get fed, taught, and nurtured by government employees. When your kids aren't in school, they get fed, taught, and nurtured by daycare workers. If this messes them up, Evers wants $300 million for mental health services. And if they end up trans, Evers vows to protect them from anyone not being accepting and inclusive. You better believe that includes you, their parents.

When Gov. Evers wants something, he doesn't let anything stand in his way, and the thing usually standing in his way is the state constitution. During covid, he led us through one constitutional crisis after another while trying to seize autocratic control over the state. Fortunately, Evers lost those fights in court, but ever since liberals won a majority on the state supreme court, he's had the legislature on the ropes. First, he stripped away its constitutional authority to draw voting maps. Then, he eroded its power of the purse. Now, he's trying to stop its oversight of regulations and rulemaking. Evers' next big move is cutting lawmakers out of the lawmaking process. He wants the “people” to be able to write laws and pass them through statewide referendums – hoping to mobilize the mob to push through his radical agenda piece by piece. So, you might say Wisconsin is on the verge of entering a post-constitutional era, and it seems like Gov. Evers can't wait to get us there.

Tony Evers did not become governor to drain the swamp in Madison, but he might accidentally do just that. He's suing the legislature because he doesn't think it should have any say in what rules and regulations his bureaucrats write. The supreme court heard the case last week, and Evers might get more than he bargained for. It seems there's nothing in the state constitution that gives bureaucrats the authority to write rules and regulations at all. Justice Rebecca Bradley said the legislature never had the authority to transfer that power to the bureaucracy. Justice Hagedorn described it as a gentlemen's agreement between the governor and the legislature to do it anyway for the past the hundred years. If the supreme court sides with Evers and rules that lawmakers can't provide oversight to the rulemaking process, or if they go further and rule that bureaucrats don't have the authority to write rules in the first place, well as the defendant's attorney explained, the natural consequence is, “the administrative state's got to go.”
This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Jayashree Arunachalam, Raman Kirpal and Shardool Katyayan are joined by The News Minute's Pooja Prasanna.The panel begins with protests in Bihar against a ‘paper leak' in the Bihar Public Service Commission preliminary exam. Jayashree explains, “The normalisation process for exams has been rejected outright by the BPSC, but it's a standard procedure in other competitive exams.” Shardool emphasises systemic delays and negligence, stating, “Students are aging out of eligibility because of these recurring delays – it's a vicious cycle.”The conversation turned to the lynching of a Muslim man in Moradabad over allegations of cow slaughter. Shardool calls it an “economic issue as well as a social issue” since “most victims of lynchings are from the lower economic strata, unable to defend themselves legally or socially”. Jayashree criticises the media's reportage of such incidents: “We don't report these as murders; they are contextualised as actions driven by allegations – almost a justification.” Abhinandan adds, “It's telling that the prime minister and government are quick to comment on global issues but remain silent on hate crimes within the country.” Pooja highlights the impunity enjoyed by repeat offenders: “In Karnataka, a hate offender live-streamed attacks and continues to engage in hate speech, even while out on bail.”The panel closes with predictions for 2025. Raman predicts worsening economic conditions, saying, “Public sentiment is unlikely to favour large-scale protests despite growing discontent.” Abhinandan sums it up, “If we want systemic change, citizens need to harness collective power to push politicians to act. Protests alone won't be enough.”This and a lot more. Tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows. If you want to write to Hafta, click here.

Charity is on a lot of our minds this time of year, and hospitals throughout Wisconsin thought it was perfect time to brag about their supposed largess. The Hospital Association just released a report about all the charity that non-profit hospitals are doing and claimed things like that don't happen in the free market. Too bad for them, the MacIver Institute, Wisconsin's premiere free market think tank, saw that report, and decided to look into that claim. We quickly found multiple academic studies from places like Harvard and John Hopkins that show for-profit hospitals actually provide more charity care than non-profits both in Wisconsin and across the country. Also, according to the IRS, non-profits are required by law to provide that care. True charity doesn't come from government compulsion. It has to be given freely, and the only place you'll find the conditions to do that is in the free market.
So, you got your property tax bill, and you're wondering why it went up so much for the school district. Across the state, school district property taxes went up $327.2 million this year. That comes out to 5.7% A lot of that was because of referendums, but that's not the whole story. You probably forgot the big budget deal republicans made with gov. Evers last year. They agreed to increase the revenue limits for school districts by $350 per pupil last year and again this year. There are two ways that $350 gets paid, either with more state aid or with higher property taxes. There wasn't that much more state aid. Last year, property taxes went up $150 million to make up the difference. This year, it was $65 million. It's going to get worse. Gov. Evers really doped republicans in that deal. He used his line-item veto to make the annual increase go on for another 400 years. That means, lawmakers can either use money from your income taxes to increase state aid, or they can let you pay it directly through higher property taxes. Either way, the school districts will get theirs, and you'll be paying for it.

Elections have consequences, which is a concept that liberals struggle to grasp. Take the city of Madison for example. It's trying to figure out why housing costs are out of control. The median rent in the city is now over $1,400 a month, far above what the median household can afford. And those rents keep going up. One guy on the local news just said his rent has gone up 35% over the past four years. Of course, the city has its theories; greedy land developers only building luxury homes is a popular one. Here's one theory no one in Madison wants to consider. Its residents just voted to approve three referendums this month: one for the city and two for the school district. Combined, those will increase the average property tax bill in Madison by $1,600 a year – about $130 a month – that's a 25% increase from last year. You'd think at some point, Madison residents would start to see a connection. We'll see if it comes up next month when property tax bills are mailed out, and the rent increase notices inevitably follow.
On election day in Wisconsin, the polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm, and as long as you're in line at 8 pm, you still get to vote. Wisconsin state law is very clear about this. That's why what happened in whitewater on Tuesday night is so alarming. The DNC filed a last-minute lawsuit, because of long lines on campus there. A county judge then ordered that two polling sites stay open until 10:30, and as long as you got in line by 10:30, you could vote. That's 2 and a half hours longer than what is permitted by state law. There is nothing in state statutes that allows a county judge to extend voting hours. In his order, the judge cited a statute explains what to do if a federal judge extends voting hours. He, himself, is not a federal judge. Democrats didn't look that gift horse in the mouth. The call went out to get every potential voter on campus to the polls. It's possible that this won them an extra assembly seat. Their candidate in that district only won by 840 votes. But even more important, if one rogue judge could get away with this now, there's nothing to stop others from doing the same thing in future elections.

2024 is not 2020, and the left is finding that out the hard way. Multiple national crises gave liberals an excuse to break every election law they thought they could get away with. Absentee voting was key by maximizing turnout among low information voters willing to go with the flow. It was aided by illegal ballot harvesting operations in cities across the state. Ballot drop boxes figured prominently in their plans. This year, they can't blame a republican incumbent for the nation's problems. Absentee ballot requests are way down in battleground Wisconsin. There were twice as many absentee ballots floating around Wisconsin at this point in 2020. There are fewer drop boxes too. Only a fraction compared to 2020. It must be frustrating, because they're clearly lashing out. Ask Mayor Diny in Wausau about that. He can tell you, don't underestimate what liberals are capable of. When the left thinks it's losing, that's when it's the most dangerous.

You probably haven't given much thought to the next state budget yet, but the budget writing process is already underway, and fortunately the MacIver institute is on top of it. Last week state agencies submitted their individual budget requests to the governor, and they are fascinating. Every agency is required to include a self-assessment on their performance over the past two years. The criteria are measurable and objective, but the agencies themselves get to pick them. They do their best to set themselves up for success. For example, none of the criteria for the Department of Public Instruction have anything to do with academic achievement. But, even with their fingers on the scale Wisconsin's major state agencies are failing to achieve even half of their performance goals. That says a lot about government effectiveness. And it's something we hope lawmakers bring up during agency briefings this coming spring.

Work on the next state budget has just begun, and Governor Evers is already struggling to keep up. Every state agency is required to submit its funding request to Evers by Sep. 16th, according to the deadline he set. However, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) says that Evers still hasn't released all the details agencies need to complete that request. WEC decided to submit a partial request for now and amend it later to meet the deadline. Evers better get his act together fast. The deadlines for work on the budget are going to start piling up fast. His budget proposal is due in February. Five months might sound like a long time, but not when you're talking about preparing a 750-page document that spends around $100 billion - especially when it depends on the input from 68 state agencies that are being kept waiting because of you. Not a great start to what's sure to be yet another contentious budget cycle.

This week, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande and Anand Vardhan are joined by The News Minute's Dhanya Rajendran and digital creator Akash Banerjee aka TheDeshbhakt.On sustainable and profitable revenue models for news, Anand says that the subscription model might be prone to the problem of becoming “a groupspeak”, where “financial influences have been insulated, but the editorial leadership has a view” that becomes the identity of the platform. Abhinandan responds to this, saying, “This is not the limitation unique to the subscription model, but a limitation of the human condition.” Dhanya adds to the subject, saying the paywall adds a lot of pressure on reporters, who judge the value of their work based on whether it goes behind paywall or not.On the difference between journalists and digital content creators, Akash says creators are appropriating information available through journalistic platforms. Dhanya says that the line between commentators and journalists is already blurring.This and more, tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows.
