In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys dive into last week’s bombshell: conservative Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley announced that she won’t seek reelection in 2026, leaving the court’s 4-3 liberal majority poised to potentially expand to 5-2, further straining the conservative minority. The hosts unpack the Democratic Assembly’s escalating civil war, where Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez faces accusations from fellow Democrats of making gun threats, a claim she denies as political sabotage tied to her upcoming testimony against Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley in committee. Smelling like a setup, the hosts question the timing and motives. They also dissect a new Wisconsin GOP report urging better out-of-state fundraising and stronger campaign roles to reverse losses in non-presidential elections, like the recent Supreme Court races. Gov. Tony Evers’ claim that mass deportations of undocumented immigrants would collapse Wisconsin’s economy and draws sharp criticism as out-of-touch.
