May Day 2026

May Day 2026

A packed U.S. Supreme Court guts what is left of the Voting Rights Act while cynically claiming not to overturn it. We delve into the the implications for civil rights and for the 2026 and 2028 elections We welcome Christine Neuman Ortiz, the Executive Director of Voces de la Frontera to discuss their huge May Day marches and rallies in Milwaukee and Madison. Christine educates our listeners on the federal and state agenda for immigrant rights and urges everyone to attend one of the May Day events. Attend a May Day Strong event near you Robert reviews a wild week in A.I. data center news, including: (1) the Public Service Commission makes major changes to the We Energies proposed rates for data centers; (2) Wisconsin data center tax break to cost the state more than $2 billion in lost revenue; and (3) a new Marquette national poll shows the same public opposition to data centers it has found in state polling. Meanwhile on the health care cost crisis, Citizen Action and allies continue with well attended Health Care Town Halls, this week in Wisconsin's Northern Tier in Superior and Ashland. Robert explains why politicians saying it is no longer possible for Wisconsin to expand Medicaid or enact a BadgerCare Public Option miss the mark. Global warming sparks surge in tick bites, lymes disease, in Wisconsin. Robert provides us with the latest tick report for hikers and campers for the outdoor season. We close with more on the “electability” debate in the Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, as a new “leaked” memo from Tiffany consultants touts the electoral strengths of Francesca Hong. Is their claim that Hong’s populist appeal could supercharge Democratic turnout and cut into the GOP rural base mere subterfuge to aid a less electable opponent, or a compelling indictment of the conventional wisdom of the Democratic consultant class?
