Who Wants to Be Gov’? (Hour 1)
There’s always a lot of behind-the-scenes chatter at a political convention—state as well as national. And when Wisconsin Democrats meet in just over two weeks, there will be no shortage of chatter about whether Gov. Tony Evers will run for a third term—and if not, how many (many, many) Democrats are likely to crowd into the primary field. Plus, Dan Hagen tells us what he’s following up north for WJFW-TV in Rhinelander.

It’s Only Day #100? (Hour 1)
Welcome to the 100th day of the Trump administration, a milestone opportunity to outline the many, many, many, many, many ways it turned out to be a not-very-good idea to elect a convicted criminal with a chip on his shoulder, who’s willing to take out his frustrations on every non-billionaire American. On the bright side: Trump’s attempt to meddle in Canada’s election just backfired spectacularly. Also: Gov. Evers joins the parade of lawsuits looking for court to remind Trump of the things he’s not allowed to do—in this case, slash education funding for Wisconsin kids.

Brad Schimel’s Worn-out Knees (Hour 1)
As a Waukesha County judge, a state Supreme Court candidate, and a former state attorney general, Brad Schimel knows the law is clear that candidates for judicial office “shall not personally solicit or accept campaign contributions." So why is he always joking about wearing out multiple sets of knee pads, begging people to support his campaign? It might a punchline, but it also tells us about the signals he’s sending to far-right groups who want to take back control of the court this April.
