Wall Street finance and compliance expert Sean O'Malley gives us his Wisconsin common sense take on the latest economic news—raw numbers that suggest things aren't as bad as people feared they might be, but there's no clear path out of the current sluggishness. And it goes without saying, the sluggishness wasn't inevitable, since we were enjoying a resurging economy when it was under adult supervision.

Evers' retirement. Mornings with Pat Kreitlow is powered by UpNorthNews, and it airs on several stations across the Civic Media radio network, Monday through Friday from 6-9 am.

Back to work on a steamy Monday. Looking at high temps around 90° today. Thankfully, some thunderstorms move in later this week & cool things off a bit. In the news this morning, some Pope stuff…including the video of him at the World Series a few years ago, and a restaurant in Chicago that has a new "Pope" sandwich on their menu.

The Wisconsin Legislature has scheduled a busy week of committee hearings. But some of the bills being put forward by Republican lawmakers are retreads—vetoed previously by Gov.

Can Congress get away with taking away health care from millions to fund huge tax cuts for the rich? We preview Medicaid Town Halls in Wausau, La Crosse and Eau Claire that will help organize resistance to proposed slashing cuts to Medicaid. Meanwhile, Rep. Van Orden continued to hunker down in his basement bunker, holding a virtual town hall where he can avoid answering tough questions after misleading his own constituents about Medicaid cuts he rubber stamped in Congress. We cannot win by surrendering in advance. We continue to encourage Governor Evers to veto any budget the Legislature produces that fails to expand BadgerCare. The Spring Election is around the corner and Brad Schimel rehashes voter fraud conspiracies about Milwaukee that he knows are false. So much for his phony stance as a high minded judge above politics. This week the only debate in the State Superintendent of DPI election was held by WPEN and other allies. This race remains about Jill Underly's dedicated support for improving and properly funding our public schools vs. her opponent who is a supporter of siphoning even more money to private unaccountable voucher schools. Robert educates us on a legal case against Greenpeace who was found liable for $645 million for Dakota Access Pipeline protests that has huge implications for the Constitutional right of free speech and protest. Will this be the beginning of a legal strategy to bankrupt progressive nonprofits to silence free speech and assembly? We close with a soul-searching discussion with James Causey, a longtime columnist with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, on adults forcing police officers back into Milwaukee Public Schools without ever listening to the kids.

Wisconsin Republican members of Congress are running scared from Medicaid cuts and the cowards are starting to do virtual town halls from bunkers, ducking open face-to-face dialogue with their own constituents. So much for the House of Representatives as the government closest to the people. Meanwhile House Republicans left Washington with no budget deal for a St. Patrick's Day vacation (we didn't know that was a thing), likely forcing a partial government shutdown Friday. Senate Democrats do the right thing and do not allow House Republicans to extort them into signing off on a bad deal which will give Trump and Musk a free hand to continue their unconstitutional assault on the civil service. As we are hurtling towards the critical April1st Supreme Court and Superintendent of Public Instruction elections, Crawford and Schimel debate. Was anyone listening? We welcome Citizen Action Organizer Kristie Tweed to clue us in on upcoming Medicaid Town Halls in La Crosse, Wausau, and Eau Claire later this month. Also, Citizen Action Climate Coordinator Kat Klawes joins us to discuss the path-breaking Climate Accountability Act and how you can get involved with our organizing. We also review the terrifying Mahmoud Khalil case, which reminds us of Red Scares and other dark moments in American history when civil rights were shredded.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Keep it Humane: The Podcast, hosts Daniel Ettinger and Ashley Bishop sit down with their very own co-host, Ashlee Bishop, to discuss the unexpected and challenging turn in her career as an animal control officer.Ashlee opens up about losing her position as Wausau's full-time humane officer following a controversial city council decision. The move, pushed forward by the police department to restructure animal control services, replaced Ashlee's full-time role with three part-time positions — a shift that city leaders claim will expand services without increasing costs.We delve into the emotional and professional impact this decision has had on Ashlee, as well as the community's strong reaction. Former council member Tom Kilian voiced concerns over the council's failure to implement the original plan, which would have included Ashlee and two part-time animal control officers. Instead, the city opted for a broader approach, assigning community service and code enforcement officers to handle animal-related calls alongside other duties.Ashlee shares her firsthand experience of what it means to be a humane officer, the importance of dedicated animal control professionals, and the real-life consequences of blending animal welfare with unrelated code enforcement responsibilities.This episode sheds light not only on Ashlee's personal journey but also on the larger issue of how cities balance budgets, public safety, and animal welfare. It's a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of animal control and the vital role of compassionate, trained professionals in our communities.Tune in to hear Ashlee's story — raw, unfiltered, and eye-opening.
