Earl Ingram joins Dom and Jess P-S to cohost for the day. For the first time in decades, Christmas and Hanukah share a calendar day. PLUS, the first day of Hanukah (the first night this year was yesterday, December 25th) lines up with the first day of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa, the newest holiday of the bunch, is a week-long celebration of African-American history, culture, and community, established in 1966. Regardless of the name of the holiday you may celebrate, all of these and many more of the more than a dozen winter holidays focus on cherishing peace and love amongst humans.

Turning to less joyful news, President-elect Trump has a long list for his Day 1 priorirites. And a large majority of Americans are so exhausted by all this crap that they've tuned out.

Happy holidays everyone! Earl Ingram cohosts today with Dom as we reflect on Christmas and the start of Hanukah. It seems so simple to wish our fellow humans a happy holiday season. President Biden managed it, with a unifying message about what we all share. President-elect Trump, however, chose to share a very different holiday message. Here's a little compare-and-contrast between the two and historic Presidential holiday messages. From bizarre threats to reclaim the Panama Canal to invitations for Canada to become our 51st United State to offers (threats?) to buy Greenland, Trump's Christmas message is a doozy.

Regardless of the messaging you choose and the holidays you'll be celebrating, we wish you much happiness and peace in these final days of 2024. May light always triumph, and may we share in love this season.

Congress passed a Continuing Resolution to keep the federal government open, now it heads to the Senate. Hopefully, that'll pass the Senate, Biden will sign it before midnight, and the lights'll stay on! It's worth mentioning that yesterday the House had a bipartisan bill that looked ready to pass with strong support. That is, until an unelected man- the richest one in the world- ordered it taken out back and put down. To do this, Musk wrote over 100 posts, laden with lies, on X lambasting the bill and threatening Republican legislators who would vote for the original bill with a primary.

At the end of the hour, we're trying something new: ending it all with a little light. Jess P-S and Dom want to hear what's good, what's keeping you going. We'll keep this as a recurring segment to share what makes life worth living!

As Congress heads into Plan C to avoid a federal government shutdown, we're left wondering how "efficient" Musk's curveball to kill the bipartisan funding bill is. And in that line, who the hell elected this guy? He's the world's richest man, and isn't accountable to anyone but his own pocketbook. Now he's poised to be Shadow President of the United States in the incoming chaos machine masquerading as an administration.

Dom's back! Earl Ingram joins to cohost today.

Moving on from the local news of the last hour as we discussed developments in the ALCS shooting, Dom and Earl look to national governance. The federal government has, from the time this airs and posts, about 30 hours to avoid a shutdown. Though the House had a bipartisan deal at the beginning of the day that seemed likely to pass, President-elect Trump and incoming shadow president Elon Musk demanded a new bill. They heavily pressured Congress to reject the bipartisan bill in order to suspend the debt limit, a strange move for an incoming administration supposedly obsessed with efficiency. Musk's involvement here is leading us to beg the question: who the hell elected this guy???

Dom's back, rested, and ready to radio! Earl Ingram joins to cohost.

While Dom was away, Wisconsin featured in the national news- and not for the things that make our state so wonderful like cranberries and scenery. No, our great state was in the national news because of yet another school shooting. Dom checks in on the Abundant Life Christian School shooting, what we know about the shooter, and most importantly- what we do now. What changes do we need to see to prevent more children from the deep trauma of gun violence in our places of learning? This school shooting was only the latest of 971 this year according to the Gun Violence Archive. 2024 has seen nearly 1000 school shootings. How many will it take for legislators to admit it's too much?

As we process through the day after yet another mass school shooting, many of us are looking for ways to help. One path is to donate to help the community. Among many options, United Way of Dane County has organized a fundraiser you can contribute to here.

Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC, guest cohost today.

At the top of the hour, Matt and Angela wrestle with the aftermath of the Abundant Life Christian School mass shooting on Monday. What should be done to protect students, teachers, and all those who use our schools? And what right do we have to know the personal information of those impacted by these tragedies? If you are searching for a way to help those affected by the shooting, one path is to donate to help the community. Among many options, United Way of Dane County has organized a fundraiser you can contribute to here.

We end the show with Wisconsin Poet Laureate, Nick Gulig. He talks with us about how to return to ourselves through poetry. How can we navigate the 'cacophony of ailments' that plague the MAGA cult and the poisonous narcissism of Trump?

US Rep Mark Pocan (D, WI-02) joins Matt and Angela at the top of the hour to discuss where we are, where we've been, and where we're going. They're big topics, and worth exploring. The three begin with a somber reflection on the Abundant Life Christian School mass shooting on Monday. Then, they move into where the Democratic party needs to move to retain voters and attract new demographics.

At the bottom of the hour, Farmer Hans Breitenmoser joins Matt and Angela for a talk on representation and immigration. What lessons did we learn from the fight for fairer maps in Wisconsin? And what lessons do we need to learn in this fight over immigration that President-elect Trump is waging?
