Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for this final day of the Dom Salvia Show. We covered a bit of news in the first hour. Now let’s get to the good stuff. At the beginning of this year, Jess P-S (hi, that’s me, writing all these podcasts) convinced Dom to start a new segment. Each day, at the end of the show, we asked you to tell us something good. I felt it was necessary, what with so much of the news being so awful every day. And so I asked Dom if we could use the last segment of the day to refocus, recenter, and prioritize what really matters- our connections and the joy we find in life. And (almost) every day since, we’ve ended the show with something good. Now, for one last hour, we ask you to tell us something good. And we’ll tell ya something good in return.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for this final day of the Dom Salvia Show. There’s a bit of news to cover today, but mostly we’re here to celebrate 7 months of the Dom Salvia Show and Dom’s 13 years in radio! On the news side, we cover continued fallout from President Trump’s tariffs and the increasing likelihood that members of Trump’s DoJ will face contempt charges in federal court. Oh yeah, and AG Josh Kaul dropped the entire ball in his lawsuit against Musk right before the spring election. We also talk with Ajak Johnson, organizer for wome of the Wisconsin 50501 “hands off” protests for democracy and against Elon Musk. But beyond that, we really want to use this hour to thank you, the listeners. Thank you for being along with us on this ride, for listening, calling, texting, and rocking!

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. In this hour we continue our discussion on the disastrous effects of the Trump tariffs. Yesterday, our President announced, in a flurry of lies, untruths, and falsehoods, massive tariffs. Over the past two months, Trump has vacillated on tariffs, imposing, revoking, raising, and lowering them seemingly at whims. These actions directly affect US, We the People. He and his income bracket buddies won’t feel this pain. The rest of us will. And the shockwaves of these tariffs will disrupt world trade for years to come. We’re calling the oncoming economic mess the Trump Slump and we invite you to join us in that! At the end of the show, Dom and Jess share some news. Tomorrow will be the final day of the Dom Salvia Show. Not because of any Trump Slump, just because life happens! Join us tomorrow for a joyous celebration of all this show has been!

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. As we reflect on the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin, we consider good. We celebrate the victory of democracy in selecting Susan Crawford to be our next Justice while rejecting oligarchy and authoritarianism. At the same time, this was the most expensive judicial race in American history. With around $100 million spent on this race, we wonder how much good we could have done with that money invested in our community rather than on mud slinging ads and endless pieces of mail. Especially when federal funding cuts continue to pummel the most vulnerable amongst us. Today, we learn that Wisconsin food banks will lose millions of dollars from USDA cuts. This hurts Wisconsin. And it’s only 2% of the cost of the election. Why can’t we work together for good??? And on the matter of Tuesday’s election… we’ve got another bout of deniers. It’s not those pesky Milwaukee ballots this time. No, now it’s the old favorite: mail in ballots. I know you can’t see it, but we’re rolling our eyes real hard.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. This hour, we continue our democracy victory lap. We’ll settle down and get back to business tomorrow. But for today, we’re going to celebrate at least a bit. With this article as an anchor, we examine some of the winners and losers of the Wisconsin spring election. Some big winners: obviously Justice-Elect Susan Crawford, state Democrats, and democracy in general. And a few big losers: Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the Shady Shill BS himself. Likewise, some of BS’s hoped-for conservative colleagues on the state’s Supreme Court, like Justice Rebecca Bradley, who bemoaned Crawford’s win and says she’s not looking forward to working together! As we discuss winners and losers, let us never forget that We the People make this government. And We the People won last night. You know who else won last night? Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), who held the Senate floor for over 25 hours to protest the Trump administration’s cruel and reckless actions. Booker now holds the record for longest floor speech, stripping infamous racist Strom Thurmond of the title for his anti-Civil Rights Act filibuster.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Today, we celebrate a win after such a long season of darkness. Finally, after so many losses, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled it off! Oh, and yes a major victory for democracy as Judge Susan Crawford becomes Justice-Elect Crawford. And y’all this race wasn’t close. Wisconsin voters gave BS and his mega-billionaire backer an ass whooping 10-point loss! In her victory speech, Justice-Elect Crawford graciously thanked the people of Wisconsin. She also shared a quote from Justice Thurgood Marshall exhorting us not to give in to apathy but to fight for democracy. Right on Justice-Elect Crawford! Now some on the right claim that the loss wasn’t so bad. And in fact, our senior US Senator says things may have been much worse for BS if Musk hadn’t made this his campaign!

Wisconsin is not for sale. Our judicial system is not for sale. So why in the hell is the MAGA movement and the world’s richest man trying to buy our Supreme Court? We intended to move on from our discussion of the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court in this hour. Really, truly, we were going to move on. And then news broke again of more attempts to buy our election. This newest effort, $50 for a picture posing outside a polling place with an image of BS, gets to the very thing that our pal Maggie Daun called illegal in the first hour. It’s worse even that this is blatantly illegal electioneering within 100 ft of a voting location. Because this is against everything our country stands for. We the People are not. For. Sale. We end the day with something good from our callers and each other. Jess’s something good today is Senator Cory Booker, who at the time of our broadcast finishing today reached the 24 hour mark in an historic Senate floor speech. He passed the record for longest floor speech half an hour after our show ended. Look forward to our analysis tomorrow!
