Summary

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey react to Team USA’s World Cup victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina before expanding the conversation into birthright citizenship, immigration, and what it means to represent America on the world stage. They also reflect on America’s 250th birthday and ask what the country’s next 250 years could look like. Later, City Stories with Urban Milwaukee’s Jeramey Jannene covers Milwaukee’s latest debates over data centers, Lake Michigan water access, school consolidation, Brady Street parking, Lime scooters, and increased ICE activity in the city.
