To some, this question seems obvious, but not everybody agrees.  The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio n...

We begin today’s show with some breaking news from Washington, D.C. that’s very pertinent to Wisconsinites. The House Judiciary Committee met yesterday to sort out some budget concerns.

Per their own operational policies, it is already illegal for ICE to arrest or detain US citiz...

This morning, Amazon announced that they would show consumers price breakdowns...

Now that Trump has had the wheel of the country for 100 days, polling from Fox News shows that Americans aren’t too happy with the results. From the economy to foreign policy, his numbers are underwater. Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, went on Fox News to demand that they fire their pollsters, stating that they are “always wrong” about President Trump. This is simply false. Despite...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: no clouds or a cloudy day?

Earlier today, the FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly obstructing justice by aiding an undocumented person in an escape from ICE capture.
