b'We say goodbye to panelist Claire Zautke who is leaving Citizen Action to join Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson\\u2019s new administration in a senior policy position. The panel discusses the GOP effort to stop Governor Evers Administration from using the state\\u2019s energy efficiency program to lower carbon emissions, showing yet again how dangerous conservative ideology is for the future of humanity. The public wants to respond to the climate crisis, but will Democrats finally be effective at holding them accountable at the ballot box? We take a deep dive into Wisconsin\\u2019s new Congressional maps and compare their competitiveness over the last two decades and the role the urban/rural divide plays in the expansion of \\u201csafe seats.\\u201d Citizen Action Driftless Cooperative organizer Ben Wilson joins us to promote a La Crosse Earth Day event next Friday. We close by welcoming Justice Global\\u2019s Tobita Chow to discuss his In These Times Magazine editorial on the war in Ukraine. We also dig into U.S. Senate Candidate Alex Lasry\\u2019s anti-China ad. Are Democratic politicos urging China-bashing as a political strategy in 2022?'
