TMI 3/21/2025 – Musk Pours Millions Into Wisconsin’s April 1st Election, YouTuber Shows How DOGE’s Targets Are Musk’s Revenge, Walz Rallies in Eau Claire and Eichorn Gets in Minor Trouble, more

In case you haven’t paid much attention to the statewide election coming up on April 1st here in Wisconsin, then you aren’t thinking like a billionaire. And not just ANY billionaire, either: Elon Musk has put over $13 million into our little State Supreme Court race between Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford. Usually you’d be excused for not worrying about what Elon might know that you don’t, but in this case, you might want a quick primer. Next, we keep our sights on Mr. Musk as YouTuber (and engineer) Mark Rober puts his Tesla Autopilot through a series of tests to see if it is safe. It becomes rapidly apparent why Musk has DOGE going after Executive Branch departments like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Then we review how Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (of Kamala Harris running-mate fame) came to Eau Claire this week to not just rally the faithful, but to so what Representative Van Orden has refused to do: hold a town hall meeting in his district and LISTEN to the constituents. Finally we look at how Minnesota’s most MAGA-devoted State Senator, Justin Eichorn, got himself into some “minor” trouble that forced him to resign his seat in the Senate.

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!

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.

Climate Conformity Diversity Episode Gerrymandering Mexico City Mike McCabe Water Shortage Wisconsin Wisconsin Supreme Court WSUM Zero Day

TMI 03/01/2024 – Mexico City Faces a “Day Zero” Water Crisis, Wisconsin’s Horrific Gerrymandering Ends with New Maps, Mike McCabe on How the Conformist Backlash to DEI is Fundamentally Un-American

At 22 million people, situated on what was once a mighty lake roughly 700 years ago well over a mile above sea level, Mexico City has a lot going against it when it comes to keeping its citizens’ water supplies well-stocked. Add to that a long climate-crisis exacerbated drought, and there is no small chance that by June there may come a day when most of the city has no running water – a “day zero”. We discuss.

Next, we look at the improvements made to the horrific gerrymandering that Wisconsin had been suffering under for all state legislature elections since 2012, and the difference it makes in having the lines moved. Finally, we look at Mike McCabe’s post discussing how the people who are pressing for conformity in their fellow American citizens aren’t just wrong headed – they are acting un-American!

COVID-19 Donald Trump Election Integrity Episode Fascism Kamala Harris Mitch McConnell Wisconsin Supreme Court WSUM

TMI 12/18/2020 – So Close to Peril, Mitch Can Be Ditched, How the Pandemic Wounds Society and the Season of Treason

On today’s TMI: While everyone was watching the Electoral College cast their votes, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin put themselves ONE VOTE AWAY from leading us into chaos. We discuss. Then: even IF the Democratic Party loses either (or both) Senate seats in the upcoming GA runoff election, there’s a way that Mitch McConnell could still be Majority Leader… and yet no longer be in the way of voting on key legislation. Next, we talk about the uneven burdens of the pandemic, specifically how the anemic federal stimulus has forced state and local governments to make cuts we are going to be dealing with long after we’re all safe from COVID-19. Finally, we see how 126 GOP Representatives could easily be seen as treasonous to the nation (if loyal to the President), and there’s a measure to stop them from being seated in January.
