Scenes from Madison’s ’No Kings’ Protest against the Trump Administration
Capitol? Packed. Protest? Peaceful. Message? LOUD🚫👑 The people of Wisconsin showed up in force in Madison for ‘No Kings Day.’ An estimated 15,000 people marched from Library Mall to the Wisconsin State Capitol on Saturday, filling the streets with signs and chants.
The protest was part of a nationwide movement in response to President Trump's authoritarianism.
The protests remained civil and peaceful, with city police reporting just three arrests in relation to minor vandalism.

This WI Lawmaker Has a “Remarkably Unhinged Social Media Presence”
TROLLIN’ TROLLIN’ TROLLIN’ – 📱 If it’s the weekend, a Wisconsin congressman is likely spending lots of time on a tiny keyboard. US Rep. Derrick Van Orden has almost made a second career out of social media trolling. The 3rd District Republican from Prairie du Chien frequently hurls insults at political opponents, constituents, and those who make critical comments about his job performance.
But Dan Shafer, Civic Media’s political editor and founder of The Recombobulation Area, says it’s important to note that the congressman doesn’t have much else to talk about, given that he’s in his third term and hasn’t passed a single bill into law.

Wisconsin Republicans Are Failing The “WI Smell Test”
⁉️ WHAT DID I JUST VOTE ON? – There’s understandably some blowback to the bill House Republicans passed recently that makes massive cuts to important programs, but who expected it would come from GOP lawmakers who voted for it and now say they didn’t know what was in it?
A Nebraska congressman admitted not knowing the budget bill includes language that would make it harder for judges to hold people in contempt of court, a provision helpful to President Donald Trump. And Georgia US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she wouldn’t have voted for the bill had she known it would limit states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI) to protect people from misuse and harm.
US Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Black Earth) visited our daily radio show to say his Republican colleagues should have known better—and this might explain why so many of them aren’t holding public events.
