Walker’s plan to drug test the unemployed and food stamp recipients, we kick off a series of discussions on the future of Wisconsin’s progressive movement and the Democratic Party that will continue on future podcasts. The panel also reacts to new video of a Milwaukee TV reporter declaring that “public school suck” as she received an Emmy last week for her reporting.
