We discuss how a Wisconsin bill to help pregnant mothers get healthcare is related to the fight over releasing the Epstein Files.

The bill would allow pregnant mothers to get postpartum Medicaid coverage for 12 months. Wisconsin is one of only two states not to do this. 

How it’s related to the Epstein Files is the way Democrats tried to push the bill to a vote, bypassing Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who has — like House Speaker Mike Johnson — blocked the bill being voted on.

The Wisconsin bill passed 32-1 in the state Senate. Vos has not brought it for a vote in the GOP-controlled Assembly, despite the fact that it will easily pass.

We talk about how Democrats tried to force a vote and the tricks Vos played to even block that. So, unlike the Epstein files, the bill has still not passed and the Legislature only works 17 more days before taking off until 2027.
