An 1800s Wisconsin outright abortion ban could get reenacted

On this Labor Day weekend, we break down why Wisconsin could be on the cusp of a major labor union surge, while Republicans in the US House cut their month's work down to four days and focus on "trolling" bills.

With new legislative maps in play, we look at how a potential Democratic trifecta could clear the path to repeal Act 10, restore prevailing wage, and overhaul worker rights across the state.

Before we got to that, however, we open looking at what the GOP priorities are in the US House, including bills to defund universities that boycott Israel, condemning socialism/communism and e capping Supreme Court justices.

Episode Highlights:


House GOP Priorities: Republicans push symbolic floor votes on condemning socialism, Supreme Court caps and defunding universities while ignoring pocketbook issues.


Labor Day Shift: A massive coalition of state unions unites behind David Crowley for governor to push a landmark worker-rights reset.


Repealing Act 10: How overturning Scott Walker's legacy policy would restore collective bargaining rights for public sector employees.


The $15 Goal: David Crowley’s plan to raise the minimum wage and eliminate low base pay for tipped workers.


The PRO Act: How federal legislation could weaken right-to-work laws and shield workers from anti-union pressure tactics.


Contrast on Unions: A look at Tom Tiffany’s legislative track record on labor compared to current union momentum.

House GOP wastes september, WI Dems eye union surge

Wisconsin Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor candidate Sarah Godlewski joins for a quick-hitting dive into the state’s political landscape.

(This interview happened before Mandela Barnes dropped out of the governor's race)

Godlewski breaks down why she’s seeking the Lt. Governor’s office to serve as an effective economic partner for Wisconsin's next governor.

Drawing on her financial background as former State Treasurer, Godlewski addresses the pressing costs facing working families — from skyrocketing healthcare premiums and hospital closures in the Chippewa Valley to closing corporate tax loopholes like the "dark store" loophole.

She also talks about being 1st Vice Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Godlewski shares why a competitive Democratic primary strengthens the ticket against extreme opponents, how the party maintains strict neutrality while building statewide infrastructure, and why the best way to listen to voters might just be a statewide supper club tour.
