“Congressional cowards hiding from constituents over Medicaid cuts” Battleground Wisconsin Podcast PDF Print E-mail
Commentary

congressional-cowards-2025MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin Republican members of Congress are running scared from Medicaid cuts and the cowards are starting to do virtual town halls from bunkers, ducking open face-to-face dialogue with their own constituents. So much for the House of Representatives as the government closest to the people. Meanwhile House Republicans left Washington with no budget deal for a St. Patrick’s Day vacation (we didn’t know that was a thing), likely forcing a partial government shutdown Friday. Senate Democrats do the right thing and do not allow House Republicans to extort them into signing off on a bad deal which will give Trump and Musk a free hand to continue their unconstitutional assault on the civil service.

As we are hurtling towards the critical April1st Supreme Court and Superintendent of Public Instruction elections, Crawford and Schimel debate. Was anyone listening?

We welcome Citizen Action Organizer Kristie Tweed to clue us in on upcoming Medicaid Town Halls in La Crosse, Wausau, and Eau Claire later this month. Also, Citizen Action Climate Coordinator Kat Klawes joins us to discuss the path-breaking Climate Accountability Act and how you can get involved with our organizing.

We also review the terrifying Mahmoud Khalil case, which reminds us of Red Scares and other dark moments in American history when civil rights were shredded.

Sign up to volunteer in the Supreme Court and DPI election with Citizen Action.

school-kidsMADISON - On Tuesday, the United States Department of Education initiated the termination of more than 1,300 employees, cutting its workforce in half and opening the path to a significant overhaul of its operations. This decision follows President Donald Trump’s threat to dissolve the department through an Executive Order, as well as a series of budget cuts imposed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). These cuts have already resulted in the termination of numerous important contracts within the department and the gutting of the Institute of Education Sciences—the independent research arm responsible for collecting and disseminating data on a wide range of education topics.
