Summary

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey are joined by Joe Zepecki and Bill McCoshen to break down the collapse of Wisconsin’s bipartisan tax relief and education funding package, debating who’s to blame and what it means for both parties heading into 2026. The panel also discusses President Trump’s overseas trip, the ongoing war with Iran, concerns about attacks on journalists, and the latest redistricting battles across the country. The show wraps with Say Something Nice, Grab Bags, the Week-In-Review, and a preview of next week’s Salute to Service Hero Week.
