## Resource

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey react to comments from President Trump prioritizing foreign policy over domestic economic concerns, asking listeners whether it’s shifting their support amid rising financial pressure. They also examine messaging challenges facing both political parties and what voters are looking for ahead of the midterms. Later, Dr. Will Flanders joins to discuss a new documentary on why teachers are leaving public schools, followed by conversations on school board controversies, healthcare politics, and a rare bipartisan deal in Wisconsin on tax relief and education funding.
