Abortion Act 10 Brad Schimel Declinism DEI Donald Trump Elon Musk Episode Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) George Monbiot Gerrymandering Natioinal Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Scott Walker Susan Crawford Target Wisconsin Supreme Court Workers Rights WSUM

TMI 02/21/2025 – Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Race Gets Hidden in the Newscycle, the EEOC and NLRB Are Under Attack to Destroy Workers Rights, George Monbiot Shows How International Our Troubles Are, more

You might not be aware of it, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump taking virtually all the air out of the news lately, but the State of Wisconsin has one of the MOST important elections in the USA for 2025 coming up in just over a month! On Tuesday, April 1st, Wisconsin’s GOP wants to pull the most cruel April Fool’s joke ever by ripping control of our state’s Supreme Court away from us after just two short years. With Ann Walsh Bradley retiring after 30 years of liberal rulings, the 4-3 liberal mix of the court would be put back in conservative hands if Scott Walker’s former Attorney General Brad Schimel is allowed to beat Susan Crawford in this spring election. We got over what is at stake.

Next, we review how the recent strategic firings at the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (The NLRB and the EEOC, respectively) hamstring those organizations’ ability to act in any way, robbing them each of the quorum necessary to act on behalf of workers nationwide. Then we read, with permission, the writings of our UK friend George Monbiot, as he details how there, those who had been pointing out the ways in which their society needed to be improved to forestall calamity were pushed aside in a way that’s all too familiar here in the United States.

American Medical Association (AMA) Big Oil CDC Climate Donald Trump Episode Ezra Klein Howard Hamm WSUM

TMI 02/14/2025 – Confronting Ezra Klein’s Naive Denial of Trump’s Nascent Dictatorship, the AMA Steps Up to Help Mitigate the Loss of Vital CDC Info, Howard Hamm Uses Trump to Attack Climate, more

Ezra Klein typically has good instincts when it comes to political analysis, often proving to be correct when countering “common sense” views that don’t fit reality. Sadly, this time his attempt to be the calm voice of reason has backfired, as he has woven a rosy picture about how Trump has limits to what he can do – limits that often don’t exist, with a hard look at what has happened in just the twenty-five days of his new administration. We discuss.

Next, we show how private medical establishments like the American Medical Association are stepping up to try and preserve and SERVE the vital medical information that Trump is having scrubbed from the CDC, DHS and other government websites before it is lost forever. Finally, we reveal how oil tycoon Howard Hamm has been leading the charge in goading Trump 2.0 into giving Big Oil everything it could ever have wanted, at the expense of the environment’s future.

AI Climate Data Centers Election Integrity Episode Greg Palast Linux Thom Hartmann Vigilantes Vote Stealing WSUM

TMI 02/07/2025 – Greg Palast on the Hard Numbers of Trump’s 2024 Election Theft, How Linux Kernel 6.13 and DeepSeek Could Usher In an Era of Climate-friendly AI, more

Investigative Reporter Greg Palast has recently been on The Thom Hartmann Program to give the news that Trump and his allies STOLE the 2024 Presidential Election, just as Greg had predicted with his documentary on electoral shenanigans “Vigilantes Inc”. He joins us today to get the most airtime ANY program has yet given him to go over the hard numbers that took MONTHS to fully compile – it takes time when not everyone wants to cooperate with an investigation! Tune in for a DEEP dive that shows that not only does Trump have NO “mandate” to do what he’s doing, he has no right to be President at all!

Next, we find out that the energy-ravenous data centers that are expanding tremendously to accommodate the exponential growth of AI have been given a tool to use LESS energy in all that computing from an unexpected source: just 30 lines of code in the Linux kernel used by many of those servers! Combine that with the reported efficiency of the nascent AI DeepSeek, and we may be able to include AI in a future that DOESN’T destroy the environment… that is, if we don’t blow the rest of the effort.
