    Protest and the Press (Hour 2)

    Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin with Harvey's reaction and take on the potential looming Trumpcession. Then, we shift to what We the People can do about the oligarchization (Harvey's word) of our government, press, and world. Well, we can protest. We can protest in our actions and in what we buy- as we are seeing with mass rejections of Tesla. And we can protest with how we choose to spend our time and to whom we give our labor. On that note, yet another Washington Post columnist and editor- Ruth Marcus- leaves, citing conscience and journalistic principles. In an age of decreasing diversity of major news outlets, Harvey sings praise of our own humble project here at Civic Media. We conclude news coverage two itmes. First, the platform formerly known as Twitter suffered multiple outages today, apparently due to cyberattacks from a group called Dark Storm. Second, our President cheered the arrest of a permanent resident immigrant on... well no charges at all. Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card carrying resident, was arrested by ICE following President Trump's executive order relating to campus protests. This is distressing, and a call to action for us all. Still, we end the day with something good. Because it matters. And because there is good to be celebrated, cherished, and protected in this crazy world.

    The Trumpcession Approaches… (Hour 1)

    \We'll be honest, the economic news today is not good. With our President refusing to rule out a recession as a consequence of his bullheaded and chaotic tariffs, markets are down and volatility are WAY up. This will be no standard recession should it come. It will be a Trumpcession. What can we do to stop a Trumpcession? Well, we can stay engaged. And we can work to oust the oligarchs who've taken over our government. To that end, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rallied with overflow crowds in Kenosha on Friday and in Altoona on Saturday. The theme of the rallies: get the money out of politics! It may not be enough to ward off a Trumpcession, but it will protect deomocracy.

    Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Mar 8

    Catch up on this week's best segments! First, from Wednesday's second hour with Matt Rothschild. Our president delivered an address to a joint session of Congress. We have thoughts... Next, we turn to Tuesday's second hour as Jess guest hosted with Harvey Kaye. The real conflict in this country has never been Democrat vs. Republican. It's oligarch "economic royalists" vs. the rest of us. Then, from Thursday's second hour with Earl Ingram as cohost with Dom. As we discuss the devastating cuts to veterans' benefits and care, friend of the network LuAnn Bird calls to share her and her husband's story. Then, should Rep. Al Green have been censured for his simple defiance during the 47th POTUS' address to Congress? Probably not. So we listen to his powerful remarks. And of course, we finish with something good. This also comes from Wednesday's second hour, as Matt shares a gorgeous poem. Guests: Matt Rothschild, LuAnn Bird, Harvey Kaye, Earl Ingram, Jess Plotkin-Sell

    This “self governance” thing never ends! (Hour 2)

    Self governance is a long game, and it requires each of our selves, constantly. With that in mind, a quick reminder! Our next election is April 1st, where our options for self governance in Wisconsin will include selecting a new state Supreme Court justice and State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Check your registration and all items on your ballot here! Part of self-governance includes holding your elected officials accountable. And those elected officials must submit themselves to OUR- We the People's- reckoning. Yet following cool welcomes and constituent dissatisfaction, Republican lawmakers are counseled to cease holding in-person town hall events. And one of Wisconsin's Congresspeople, Rep. Van Orden compares those upset constituents to Nazis... not a great look. Self-governance is a radically new idea. And it's one that We the People enshrined in a radical document in 1776, our Declaration of Independence. Now, our president wants to move that original document away from the public and into his office. Nu uh, says We.Sneaking in one last bit of news, some national Republicans are now admitting, Medicare cuts are absolutely in the cards. Why? Well, the system's going bankrupt! Who's saying that? Rick Scott, the richest senator and a guy who knows a thing or two about Medicare fraud. Since, y'know, he committed it. Still, with all the *bleh* we end the day with something good! Something like this video of Jay Fergusun performing "Thunder Island." That's really good! Join Dom Salvia every afternoon from 4-6pm for news (some), humor (more), and great conversation (always)!

    Consistency, it’s worth something (Hour 1)

    Whatcha got planned for tonight? If you're looking for something to do, why not listen to an old Jewish man rail against oligarchy with a message with incredibly consistency for damn near 50 years? Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is on the road, gathering with people who are all looking for "where we go from here". Tonight's stop brings him to Kenosha. Wisconsin's Congressman Mark Pocan will join him for this stop, adding his voice- also remarkable for its consistency to fighting for We the Poeple. In today's political world, consistency is rare. So we celebrate Senator Sanders and Congressman Pocan. But that which we see on the Republican side is a consistency of dismissal of We the People. Take, for instance, national Republican leaders instructing their members to cease holding in-person town halls. You know, that cradle of democracy and representation. Why? Because they don't like that constituents are frustrated with the actions of their elected officials. Imagine that!

    Veterans deserve more, not less (Hour 2)

    Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day. We all knew the cuts wouldn't stop with foreign aid, disaster relief, or education. Now, veterans and their care land on President Trump's chopping block. Today, the VA announced that- directed by Trump's DOGE- they plan to reduce their workforce by more than 15%. There is no world in which decreasing the number of professionals dedicated to care does not also decrease the quality and availability of care. Is this what our veterans deserve? When President Biden took office, he increased funding to the VA in order to address pressing needs like long waits for critical care. In order to do that, the workforce expanded. These cuts seek to return the VA to 2019 levels- where they were when Biden addressed the needs of veterans. Significantly, the progress achieved through Biden's landmark PACT act will likely be erased in these cuts. The atrocious proposed cuts to vital funding for veterans deserve censure. But you know who doesn't deserve censure? Representative Al Green of Texas, who stood up to protest massive proposed cuts to Medicaid during Trump's address to a joint session of Congress. Still, the House voted to censure him today. His response speaks volumes, and we applaud him for it.

    Volatility, just what the markets love (Hour 1)

    Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day. In no surprise to any of us paying attention, the economy devolves into chaos after conflicting tariff decisions. 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada. No wait, those tariffs are delayed. Or maybe they'll never come. Perhaps they'll be much bigger than that. In response, today's volatility index shows over a 13% increase, an enormous jump. The markets reflect the volatility of our own federal government, where no group is safe from a sudden slash or funding freeze. With chaos the only constant, it's no wonder even Wisconsin's own conservative US Senator Johnson expresses deep concerns over his party leader's tariff indecisions. The volatility and chaos will bring pain. In fact, Earl's friend and frequent cohost Sandy Williams, a trained economist, predicts a pending recession due to the uncertainty.

    Budget Dust and America’s Real Problems (Hour 2)

    Matt Rothschild joins as cohost for the day. Over the past few weeks, the 47th POTUS' administration has trumpeted their efforts to cut the federal budget down to a reasonable size through the unconstitutional DOGE. And as we've seen, DOGE not only lacks integrity and focus, they lack receipts for anything substantial. In fact, the only verifiable cuts amount to, well, budget dust. And the cuts to our federal income in the form of massive tax decreases for the wealthy will absolutely dwarf any supposed savings from DOGE. Last night, President Trump delivered an address to a joint session of Congress. Read the transcript if you wish, but save yourself two hours if you haven't already watched the sorry proceedings. More importantly, read fact checks, because the speech was- unsurprisingly- riddled with lies, falsehoods, and absolute bogus. And watch a real speech addressing the state of our union, delivered by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Because the needs of We the People are more than budget dust. And the cuts proposed to essential spending like Medicaid in the President's "big beautiful bill" are far more than budget dust. And of course, we end with something good. Matt, as always, brought a poem. Listen again to Joy Harjo's "Remember," and take time to recall the beauty and wonder of life.
