Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has been in the spotlight lately – more than usual, anyway – facing questions about his pushback on federal immigration policies, multiple state lawsuits, unique biennial budget challenges, and whether he will run for a 3rd term. Governor Evers joins WisconsinEye's Newsmakers on May 20, 2025, to answer all of these […]

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the budget-making process in Wisconsin as legislators remake Gov. Tony Evers' budget proposal. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

 Ah -- Romance is in the air. And by romance in the air – we mean Governors giving their annual state of the state addresses and budget speeches in front of state legislatures. Like Tony Evers. Here's what the Wisconsin Governor said during his 2025 state of the state address:    “My forever prom date, Kathy, is up in the gallery, as well. Kathleen Frances, you are the cream to fill my cream puff.”   In the next episode of C-SPAN's podcast “The Weekly” – we hear more governors say more lovely things about their spouses – just like Governor Evers did.   • How long has Kathleen Frances Evers been the cream to fill Governor Tony Evers' cream puff?   • Which Governor revealed a – shhhh -- bedroom secret?   • And which Governor not only said something lovely about her husband – but then said something lovely about her in-laws?   Find out in “The Weekly” – as we present the loveliest things governors said about their spouses in 2025 State of the State addresses.

‘Inseminated person' vs. ‘mother'? Dems keep proving they've lost common sense Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers' budget proposal has created quite the stir in recent days. Now, before you yawn with boredom, hear me out. Evers, a Democrat, has attracted the ire of Republicans in his state and around the country for some interesting word choices. Those include booting pesky terms like “mother,” “father,” “husband” and “wife.” Instead of “husband,” “spouse” is inserted. “Mother” is crossed out in lieu of “inseminated person.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/inseminated-person-vs-mother-dems-101140469.html Postliberalism could reshape the Conservative party The intellectual movement of postliberalism is gaining attention and is likely to...

We discuss breaking news in the fight to save Medicaid this week as House Speaker Mike Johnson rules out cutting the federal match to states for Medicaid Expansion states. This is huge for Governor Tony Evers' plan to accept federal money to expand BadgerCare in the state budget. We renew our call for the Governor to publicly declare that he will veto any state budget that fails to expand BadgerCare. Despite the victory in Congress for Medicaid Expansion, Speaker Vos and Republicans in the Joint Finance Committee deleted expanding BadgerCare from their state budget Thursday afternoon. It's time for the Governor to fight for his budget. We urge our listeners to call Governor Tony Evers at 1 (608) 266-1212 and urge him to use his most powerful in the nation veto and publicly declare that he will veto any state budget from the Legislature that does not include proper funding for our public schools and BadgerCare expansion. Citizen Action member and child care provider, Julia Bennker, joins us to discuss the Joint Finance Committee's disastrous decision to remove child care funding from their state budget. Julia tells us about how child care providers are organizing a strike that will start Tuesday. Listen to the show. Read Citizen Action's statement on the removal of BadgerCare Expansion from Legislative Republican's State Budget. Citizen Action calls on Governor Tony Evers to use veto powers to leverage BadgerCare Expansion. Attend a “Hands off Medicaid” Town Hall this week. Learn about what's at stake for all of us, hear from our neighbors who are directly at risk, and talk about what we're doing to fight back and how you can get involved. Questions?

Wisconsin Senator Pat Testin from the 24th District was getting his hands dirty when he chatted with Pam Jahnke. As chair of the Senate Agriculture and Revenue Committee, Testin is focused on staying connected to the people that policy impacts. He says one of the major areas that he's focused on is funding for the Agriculture Road Improvement Program(ARIP). Testin says while the governor has been short on funds proposed, the consensus from people he's heard from are that the program needs to be fully funded.

Republicans running the Wisconsin Legislature have just released the first list of actions they plan to take on the next state budget—starting with killing 612 items requested by Gov. Tony Evers and a parade of Wisconsinites testifying at Joint Finance Committee hearings. Help for childcare? Gone. Help with children being poisoned by lead paint or water lines? Gone.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 123: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Don't be silly, Stephen Miller - you're taking the fall. For contempt of court in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Rogue Deportation Flight cases. The target to at least be fined, maybe jailed, for contempt of court has got to be Stephen Miller. The picture is clarifying slowly, the focus is sharpening painstakingly, but it seems evident now that contempt cases being built by District Judges Jeb Boasberg and Paula Xinis – the effort to get depositions about, and charge somebody with, contempt of court in the abduction of Mr. Abrego Garcia AND the renditioning of dozens of others to El Salvador after Boasberg ordered the plane to NOT take off – the slow, methodical attempt to finally, at long last, about damn time, hold SOMEBODY in the Trump Crime Administration responsible for SOMETHING… this whole move to put somebody behind bars, is, in both courts, targeting… Stephen Miller. Based on reporting by NBC, by the Akron Law Journal, by Brian Beutler in "Off Message" and otters: the finding by Judge Boasberg of probable cause for contempt citations against the Trump Gang, and these depositions scheduled by Judge XINIS are apparently designed to confirm what Miller and the other Trumpian monsters are boasting about in private – Miller is the architect of the deportation scheme and especially its baseline component of cruelty. The man who has allegedly hated Hispanics since a girl he asked out in high school turned him down, is also the architect of the scheme to disobey the District Court orders to bring Abrego Garcia home AND to disobey the Supreme Court in the process. The man who greets every warning from a court or an attorney or a human with a conscience to stop now before it is too late for him, by getting louder, and angrier, and more monstrous, the man behind whatever step towards Ethnic Cleansing is next, is Stephen Miller. And it sure looks like Judges Boasberg and Xinis want to put the man Beutler refers to as the "monstrous twerp-fascist" behind bars. AND TRUMP GETS CRAZIER: Literally wants 11-year olds to give up their dolls and pencils for the sake of his delusion, and doesn't know if he has to uphold the constitution and has just infuriated all the Veterans by re-naming Veterans Day "Victory In World War 1 Day" and creating a "Victory In World War 2 Day" on the anniversary of a day when... World War 2 wasn't won. B-Block (34:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump clowns Labor Secretary Lori DeRemer-Chavez and Secretary of Lies Karoline Leavitt tie with some whoppers. Jesse Watters goes into a cave with Elon Musk. And a pretend reporter named Myles gets told to Eff Off by Ilhan Omar. (41:17) SPORTSBALLCENTER: Tomorrow is the 71st anniversary of the day in 1954 when Roger Bannister became the first to ever run a mile in less than four minutes. Except that he WASN'T the first to ever run a mile in less than four minutes. He wasn't even the first in England, where it had been done 200 years earlier. Never mind, say, in Kenya. (59:30) SPORTSBALL CENTER, CONTINUED: The reason all Bannister's predecessors are unknown is: they were erased from the records by the self-appointed "Amateur Authorities" of the 19th Century who wanted to make sure only "Gentlemen" held the honors. Gentlemen - and White People.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The weekend was filled with all sorts of stories, so hold on, because we cover a lot in the first hour of the show! It seems like Governor Tony Evers, just trying to do his job got a threat from The Border Czar, so that's super cool. Then we saw Congressman Scott Fitzgerald pop his head out and look for his shadow, we look forward to next year's appearance. Pope Francis passed away two weeks ago and The Papal Conclave begins on Wednesday, which is the perfect window of time for The Felon President to offend Catholics around the country...don't worry, Archbishops have "harsh words" on the matter. And finally, what would you do with $45-90 million? Well, the president wants to throw a birthday party, for himself with his very own parade!!

Could Governor Evers really be arrested over a story Dan broke? He discusses on Friday's edition of "The Dan O'Donnell Show." Plus, an exclusive on a feud between a massive hip-hop star and...The Milwaukee Mile?!?!?

Last day of the week for me…then I'm off to Nashville for Metallication! The storms in La Crosse weren't nearly as bad as the forecasts were predicting. More rain possible in the area on Thursday. In the news this morning, a former WI prison warden is ordered to pay a fine in the death of an inmate, Governor Tony Evers announced a new lawsuit against the Trump administration, a judge in Wisconsin has delayed the release of one of the "Slender Man" girls, the WIAA has approved NIL deals for high school students, and a man in Tomah is arrested for attempted homicide. In sports, the Brewers start a 3-game series against the White Sox in Chicago tonight, Damian Lillard tore his achilles and might be out for ALL of next season, a recap of last night's NBA & NHL action, and a look at tonight's playoff schedules. Elsewhere in sports, some penalties announced by NASCAR following Sunday's race at Talladega, and the Trump administration said that the University of Pennsylvania violated Title IX by allowing a transgender swimmer to compete on the women's team. We let you know what's on TV today and what's new on New Release Tuesday. And we spoke to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show. Plus, a list of things to look forward to in the month of May! Couple of viral videos from the last few days…one is a mailman who returned some money he found in the driveway of one of the houses on his route, and another is a woman who painted her cousin's nails before she was taken off life support. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a bank robber who got busted by his rental car, an inmate who escaped jail with just two days left on his sentence, a baby that nearly bled to death from a circumcision, a family is suing a school district after their child committed suicide, and a neighborhood in Seattle is upset about RAMPANT masturbation in a city park.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision that upheld the governor's line-item veto authority after Gov. Tony Evers edited the '23-'25 state budget to extend a two-year school funding increase by 400 years. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We’ve all known it would come to this; we’ve all WARNED it would come to this; we’ve all PREDICTED they’d try to ease the knife in slowly, they’d take the boiling frog route, and here it comes. It’s in every piece of political science fiction from "1984" to "Brazil" to "V For Vendetta." And it is now real: if everything Trump does deserves criticism and gets criticism there is only one thing for Trump and his gang to do: prosecute criticism of Trump and claim those WHO criticize him are aiding and abetting terrorists. The ultimate Thought Crime was given voice by no less a figure than Trump's Counterterrorism Director, who, since Trump found the worst possible person to do each job (and bin Laden is dead) is Sebastian Gorka. The threat is connected to the push to send not just immigrants to rot in a For-Profit El Salvador Rendition Center, but American citizens too, especially those who standup to Trump's attempt to purge Hispanics from this country. Axios reports that one of the other potential new Orwellian crimes would be advising detainees of their rights. If that's not directed at AOC I don't know what could be. B-Block (25:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Derrick Van Orden attacks Wisconsin's governor because Van Orden thinks Milwaukee kids are stupid - and he misspells the word "how" in his post. Brian Kilmeade's Hegseth spoiler alert: he calls him "former secretary." And we are all very proud here that one of 'our own' has reduced Bill Maher to graffiti. Further details on "My Dinner With Adolf." C-Block (37:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I had literally forgotten - until I literally worked through the neighborhood - that I made my Broadway singing and dancing debut seven years ago. I mean literally, on stage, during an actual Broadway show. If it made that much of an impression on me, imagine how bored the audience was! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bill to extend Medicaid coverage to new mothers passed with overwhelming support in the state Senate. It may not get a vote in the Assembly. Gov. Tony Evers and Republicans talk tax cuts. And, new guidance for state workers on dealing with immigration enforcement.

Tenzin and Stacy Botsford are farmers in Marathon County who've done everything right— growing a variety of vegetables and fruits that can be found at farmers markets, local restaurants, schools, and food pantries. But the Trump-Musk budget axe is coming down on the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program, which buys food from local farms, like the Botsfords' Red Door Family Farm, and distributes to those pantries and schools. We'll get into the many ways this is a bad plan. We'll also update the state budget negotiations going on between Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and the Republicans who control the Legislature. The GOP seems content to again sit on and squander a multi-billion dollar surplus if they don't get a tax cut plan they like—while Evers has proposed nearly $2 billion in tax relief in his version of a new budget.

For the second time this month, Wisconsinites across the state took to the streets to protest the policies of the Trump administration. The state Supreme Court upheld a line-item veto by Gov. Tony Evers that changed school funding for centuries. And, the Milwaukee School Board considers legal action against paint manufacturers.

On Monday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan breaks a major exclusive story: Governor Evers' Department of Administration sent out a memo this morning ordering all state employees not to assist ICE investigations. Plus, thoughts and reflections on the passing of Pope Francis.

It won't be much longer until the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee of the Legislature starts to write its own version of a two-year state government budget. It will certainly be different than what Democratic Gov. Tony Evers proposed, but that doesn't mean some valuable priorities can't be included. We'll get an update from a couple of grassroots groups about how they'd like the public to reach out to their state senators and representatives and push for their priorities.

Wisconsin is an island of prohibition in a sea of legalized cannabis. But that hasn't stopped entrepreneurs from selling weed-adjacent products in the state legally. This gray zone in which Wisconsin operates has left many calling for proper legalization and regulation of cannabis. Gov. Tony Evers outlined two paths for legalization in his 2025 budget proposal, though they're not likely to make it past the Republican-controlled State Assembly. So where do we go from here? Phillip Scott, the owner of Crone Apothecary and head of Wisconsin Hemp Farmers and Manufacturers Association, has some ideas.  Wanna talk to us about an episode?

If the state budget is going to live up to Gov. Tony Evers' wish that it reflect what he calls “The Year of Kid,” legislators are going to have to do more to shore up support for child care and for special education in our schools.

This hour's guests each have reason to not be pessimistic about politics right now, but that's no reason to put their guard down. Gov. Tony Evers' veto pen and this week's state Supreme Court win mean the most extreme conservative proposals won't be enacted—though it's not like Republicans won't stop trying to remove women's healthcare rights, enact anti-trans laws, and pass tax cuts for the very wealthy.

The USDA’s Prospective Plantings Report confirmed that U.S. corn acreage surpassed expectations. John Heinberg, Market Advisor with Total Farm Marketing says this increase came at the expense of wheat and cotton acres, while soybean acreage saw only a slight decline. Meanwhile, concerns over potential tariffs and their impact on global trade continue to add uncertainty to the market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Holy thunderstorms, Batman! The sky was lit-up during the overnight with lightning and rain cleaned up some of that sand on the roads. But clearing up for a beautiful Friday afternoon with high temps in the upper-70's! Unfortunately, it's going to crash back into the 40's this weekend with some snow possible. In the news this morning, a sentencing in a 50 year cold case in Dunn County, Elon Musk paid a man in Green Bay $1 million for signing a petition, around 60 Macy's stores will be closing soon, Governor Tony Evers launched a job portal for federal workers who got fired under the Trump administration, and a teacher in Wauwatosa is in some hot water after an email from 2023 surfaced where she referred to an eighth grader as a "hooker". In sports, the Brewers kicked off the regular season with a 4-2 loss to the Yankees in New York yesterday, the Bucks are back at home tonight against the Knicks, and the men's Sweet 16 kicked off last night. The men's & women's Sweet 16 continues tonight. Elsewhere in sports, NBA commissioner Adam Silver finally admitted that this year's All-Star Game was an unmitigated disaster and that the league is going "back to the drawing board". We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's in theaters. And Doc joined us at 8:15am for the Racing Report, courtesy of County Materials in Holmen. A new ice cream is set to hit grocery store shelves that apparently tastes like breast milk, without using any actual breast milk.

Republicans on the state's building commission have rejected the governor's four billion dollar capital projects plan. And, what we know after almost a decade of voter ID requirements for Wisconsin elections.

Milfred and Hands analyze Gov. Tony Evers' prospects for a third term, should he decide to run for governor again next year. Only one governor in state history -- Tommy Thompson -- has served a third (and part of a fourth) term. Milfred thinks Evers could be well-positioned as the antithesis to President Donald Trump. Hands isn't so sure, suggesting the left is hungry for new faces and younger blood. Evers recently met with the Wisconsin State Journal editorial board, talking about his future, school testing and cellphone distractions.

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.

Welp, it's more about tariffs, because just before we went on the air, The Felon President said he would impose more tariffs on Canada. We also speak to how Wisconsin businesses are being affected and dealing with the uncertainty surrounding this topic. Next, Congressmen Wied and Tiffany held town halls meetings, well...tele-hall meetings, only taking phone calls from constituents and from the sounds of it, nothing really happened. Then, Todd Allbaugh is our guest to talk about the news that Rebecca Cooke is going to run (again) against current Congressman and Professional Yeller, Derrick Van Orden.

Gov. Tony Evers directed another $5 million in federal funds to support the expanded Well Compensation and Well Abandonment Grant Program. Evers created an expanded Well Compensation and Well Abandonment Grant Program in 2022, using federal funding to help support more private well owners and increase access to clean drinking water, including expanding eligibility to those facing PFAS contamination in their wells. Thanks to the expanded eligibility, many individuals who would otherwise be ineligible under a similar state-funded program applied for and received assistance, including some small Wisconsin businesses with a non-community well, such as daycare centers, rural restaurants, and churches. The application period for this additional $5 million is open now: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/aid/WellCompensation.htmlSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
