Senator Tammy Baldwin discusses the pressures facing Wisconsin farmers, including record-high diesel and fertilizer costs, tariffs, lost export markets, and the impact of Trump’s trade decisions on beef and soy producers, while also warning that climate change, flooding, drought, and water contamination are adding to agricultural challenges. She then turns to election security in Wisconsin, arguing that local clerks are carefully safeguarding voting and criticizing election denialism and threats to ballot security, before explaining that flipping the Senate would allow Democrats to set the agenda, block harmful bills, shape potential Supreme Court nominations, and begin advancing policies that make life more affordable and improve opportunity. Plus as a bonus we have journalist and author Beth Macy about her run to flip Virginia’s 6th congressional district.

The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson argues that the Trump DOJ exists mainly to protect Donald Trump by targeting his enemies, shielding the Epstein files and related tapes, and blocking investigations such as the one involving Zorro Ranch, while also using antitrust actions against TV networks in ways he sees as tied to media consolidation and foreign money. He then shifts to election politics, saying Democrats are gaining momentum and could flip the Senate and House, with possible wins in places like North Carolina, Texas, Alaska, and other states, driven by strong candidates, Republican scandals, and a broader “blue wave” fueled by early voting and rising turnout among Latino and Black voters.
