The townhall that wasn't by US House Rep. Derrick Van Orden, and the smug video to troll constituents in La Crosse trying to make it look like he showed up. Van Orden has been scheduling and cancelling town halls in Wisconsin's 3rd District, including in La Crosse and Eau Claire. William Garcia talks about having a ticket to go to the La Crosse event, before it being rescheduled and moved to a secret location. Hours later, Van Orden attempts to troll the La Crosse County Democratic Party on Twitter but this comes after he can't show up to a scheduled event.

Wisconsin Republican Derrick Van Orden: MIA

We recap the spring elections that saw incredible turnout that saw Democratic wins for Susan Crawford on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Jill Underly to lead, again, the Department of Public Instruction. 

We hit on how Elon Musk's money couldn't buy the Supreme Court seat and how Donald Trump still needs to be linked to all of this.

We also talked about some of the potential cases that the new state Supreme Court would take up, including Act 10, the 175-year-old abortion ban and one to potentially redraw the US House district lines in Wisconsin. That comes as Republicans claim that with Crawford's win, those lines will be gerrymandered toward Democrats, which is hilariously untrue — not to mention they've been rigged to benefit Republicans since 2011. 

We also discussed the local races out of La Crosse and the Republican constitutional amendment that did pass.

Spring election recap — Musk couldn't buy Wisconsin

Legislation was recently introduced by Democratic Wisconsin state Senators Brad Pfaff and Sarah Keyteskiu to help improve housing affordability. One of the highlights from the bill is prohibiting hedge funds from buying single-family homes. Those hedge funds suck up all a majority of housing stock in a particular area, which skyrockets prices.

We don't know if Elon Musk has ever stepped foot in Wisconsin, but he's spent more money here these past few weeks than most of us will ever make in our lifetime. We discuss the many ways Musk is entrenched in Wisconsin politics from trying to fund Brad Schimel in the race or bash Susan Crawford over the airwaves. We also discuss the potential lawsuit that would affect Tesla sales in the state, depending on how this race goes, plus many other ways Musk involved in things he shouldn't be.
