Act 10 American Medical Association (AMA) Billionaires Brad Schimel Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) Donald Trump Elon Musk Episode Jessica Wildfire Scott Walker Susan Crawford The Sentinel Intelligence Wisconsin Supreme Court WSUM

BEST OF TMI 3/7/2025 – Wisconsin Supreme Court race has been hidden in the newscycle, AMA Steps Up for the CDC’s Loss of Vital Info, Obsolescence Was Invented to Make Billionaires, more

On this BEST OF TMI episode, we look back at three of the most important topics of 2025 so far! First, the State of Wisconsin has one of the MOST important elections in the USA for 2025 coming up in less than 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 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, Jessica Wildfire’s post at The Sentinel Intelligence tells how obsolescence was an idea purposefully put into place to ensure the profits kept rolling in – right to the top! All this and more on TMI for Friday, March 7, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

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.

Act 10 Cognition Detroit Episode Gubernatorial Politics Jacob Frost Jessica Wildfire Media Mike Duggan Scott Walker WSUM

TMI 12/06/2024 – Bad Media Watchdog, No Biscuit!, Act 10 Struck Down in Mighty Win for Unions, Detroit Mayor Duggan Will Run for MI Gov as Independent, more

As the Cure for the Common Media, TMI aims to be an effective media watchdog, holding it to account for distortions and omissions… which means the piece from Jessica Wildfire on how human beings associate the ones giving bad news with badness itself was deeply troubling. We go over it all, showing how human cognition often serves us poorly when the news goes against what we WISH were true, even finding the narrow balancing act that can make truth-telling effective DESPITE the tendency to “shoot the messenger”.

Then, we take a moment to celebrate that Dane County Judge Jacob Frost ruled that a tremendous amount of the union-busting evil that was Scott Walker’s Act 10 went against the Wisconsin State Constitution. Finally, we turn our attention to the upcoming Michigan Gubernatorial race as Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan was declare he will be running, but not as the lifelong Democratic candidate one would expect – he’s running as an independent! We’ll keep our eyes on this to see if he meand to be a Bernie Sanders type (yaaay!) or more of a Joe Manchin (boooo!).
