10.5.22 – Greg Bach’s last words

Co-host Greg Bach is back. Will you just stop? Domestic violence in Wisconsin. The Onion gets onion-y.

(7:07) – WILL you just stop?

• The Brown County Taxpayers filed a lawsuit Tuesday under claims that Biden’s plan to cancel student loan debt has “improper racial motive.”
• While there are disparities in who has student loans, there are no racial criteria for loan forgiveness.

(38:14) – Domestic violence in Wisconsin

• CEO of Sojourner Family Peace Center, Carmen Pitre talks about the rise of domestic violence in Wisconsin.
• Governor Evers announces additional investment in domestic violence programs.
• You can refer to The Waukesha Women’s Center and Sojourner Family Peace Center for resources.

(1:29:44) – The Onion gets onion-y

• The Onion — a satirical publication known for poking fun at everything from popular culture to global politics — is taking a stab at a serious issue.
• On Monday, it filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of an Ohio man who faced criminal charges over a Facebook page parodying his local police department.
• Despite its sarcasm and hyperbole, the legal brief isn’t a joke. It aims to suggest shortcomings in the legal system when it comes to protecting those who use comedy to question people in positions of authority.
