To begin this hour, Maggie and guest co-host Matt Rothschild discuss some big news: Governor Tony Evers draws a hard line, threatening to veto the entire Wisconsin budget unless critical childcare funding is restored—setting up a high-stakes clash with the Republican-led legislature. On the international front, President Trump’s unilateral missile strike on Iran ignites a constitutional firestorm, bypassing congressional approval and heightening fears of retaliation, including cyberattacks. The decision sends shockwaves across the globe and stirs anxiety among Wisconsin families with loved ones in the military. All the while, a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East teeters on the edge. Back at home, ICE faces renewed scrutiny after targeting a California immigrant with three Marine sons—another troubling sign of expanding federal power.
