Maggie tackles two explosive stories shaking the nation. First, she breaks down a new lawsuit alleging Elon Musk attempted to buy influence in Wisconsin’s elections. Joined by Jeff Mandell and Scott Thompson of Law Forward, the conversation explores how billionaire interference threatens to turn elections into auctions. Then, foreign policy expert Ilan Berman from the American Foreign Policy Council (afpc.org) joins to analyze growing tensions with Iran, as reports emerge that Trump approved—but paused—a military strike. With nuclear diplomacy hanging by a thread, the stakes are rising both at home and abroad. Democracy and global security are on the line.
