Republican senators again shot down a bill to protect IVF access in the United States. We hear from Sen. Tammy Baldwin about the need for such protection—and discuss how offensive it is that her colleague from Ohio, JD Vance, skipped the vote so he could mislead people about abortion while campaigning in Wisconsin. Plus, our Homeroom segment includes the superintendents from Superior and Eau Claire outlining the referendums that will be on the ballot in November because a lazy legislature refuses to adequately fund our public schools.
