These three women are organizing in their counties and getting the job done. They say we all have more in common than not. In fact, we can agree that money should be eliminated from politics and that change starts in our communities. People are scared right now. Take the D and R out of the equation, we need to pay attention.

Dr. Melinda Brennan, Executive Director of the Wisconsin ACLU, joins Maggie to discuss the current administration's immigration policy. The hard question - why should we care about what happens to immigrants? Caring means we care about due process, respect human dignity, and want the best outcome for our schools, communities and families and not destroy the economy in the process. This should be a problem we all care about on an ideological level. Dr. Brennan also explains that basic human rights are on the ballot on April 1. So vote early or vote on election day, but make your plan to vote. To see more from each of the Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates, take a look at the ACLU's questionnaire: https://www.aclu-wi.org/en/publications/2025-supreme-court-wisconsin-candidate-questionnaire.

We are in a Constitutional crisis. We have an administration that is actively and intentionally ignoring court orders. And as Maggie points out, courts do have jurisdiction over the president. That is a fact. Plus, Jason Stein from Wisconsin Policy Forum joins Maggie to discuss the state budget. Jason points out that the legislature is losing control of local school funding so it's being passed on through referendums and your property taxes. Governor Evers has proposed school funding to help alleviate that pinch. Ultimately, Jason believes schools will not see enough from state funding and will still look to referendums and property taxes. Jason also says the federal cuts could trickle down to the state.

Mini Timmaraju from Reproductive Freedom for All and Amanda Zurawski, reproductive rights advocate, joins Maggie to discuss women's rights. They are rallying for Judge Susan Crawford celebrating the first day of early voting. Wisconsin knows how to elect fair judges, and we have the chance to do it again. Amanda, a Texas native, shares her personal story and the lack of reproductive options that almost killed her twice. The spring election is a referendum on the GOP's draconian policies.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! The celebration continues. Maggie shares her genealogy, which includes Irish roots. That's Maggie Hayes to you. In 1835, Maggie's family landed at Castle Garden in New York. And Ben Cottrell and Michaela Colestock from the Madison hurling team, the Madison Hailstones, joins Maggie to discuss the sport of hurling. The club is celebrating it's 18th birthday today, and it turns out Ben and Maggie have something in common - they are both from County Cork, Ireland. Hurling is an ancient sport that welcomes all ages and abilities. To check out this championship caliber team, check out https://www.madisonhailstones.com/.

It's St. Patrick's Day, and we're celebrating! Jeff Ksiazek from the Irish Fest School of Music in Milwaukee (https://irishfestschoolofmusic.com/) kicks off the festivities with a traditional Irish tin whistle (which is a lot different than his original jazz saxophone). Irish music has had a huge impact on music in general. There is a magical, interweaving that has taken place over the course of hundreds of years. And Corey Webster from the Irish Heritage Center in Milwaukee (https://www.ichc.net/)joins Maggie to talk parades, Irish traditions, and of course, culture and ancestry. Turns out green beer is not a traditional Irish drink. Who knew?

It's time for another edition of "Ask Maggie." Maggie has :30 or :60 seconds to answer your questions on anything. If you have a question for Maggie email us at [email protected]. Turns out Maggie loves the Swedish Chef from Sesame Street and a whole lotta movies. Plus, Teri Barr joins Maggie for "What's Good, Local and Overlooked in Wisconsin." New London, WI becomes New Dublin when the leprechauns show up for their St. Patrick's Day shenanigans.

It's finally Friday! But the news doesn't take a break. Senate Democrats are in a rock and a hard place when it comes to the continuing resolution. And Dr. Oz (yep...the guy from TV) is Trump's pick to lead Medicare and Medicaid even though he wants to gut the programs. These are wildly popular programs, and we all know someone who relies on them. Maggie also looks at Section 4 of the CR. There's a sneaky section that keeps Donald Trump's tariffs in place, and there's not a darn thing Congress can do. How's the price of eggs treating you?

Tom Palzewicz is back as Maggie's co-host. They discuss the Supreme Court debate between Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford. If you're sick of government not getting it done, then what you want is state legislators that can agree in good faith. As the spring election approaches, please do your research. Take off the party glasses and vote for the candidate that is going to ensure that your vote is going to count now and for years to come. Maggie and Tom are also joined by Daniel Bauman, running for Alderman in District 3 in Milwaukee. Daniel explains why he decided to run for office. He also explains why voters should cast their votes for him on April 1. He's a guy that's going to hit the ground running from day one. Daniel has already built connections and wants to work across all districts.

Tom Palzewicz, the most reasonable guy in politics, is back today as Maggie's co-host. Maggie and Tom discuss the lawlessness of the Trump administration. Who enforces these court orders that Trump is ignoring? And what is the point of all of these blatantly unconstitutional actions? The fear. And law firms, lawyers, journalists, media companies, governments, non profits are capitulating. Next, they are joined by Ben Wickler, Chair of Wisconsim Democratic Party, to discuss Elon Musk's desire to own the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Schimel's eagerness to bend the knee. Maggie explains why Schimel would never pass a bar exam.
