Guests: Dom Salvia, Jill Rosenthal

Jill Rosenthal, Director of Public Health Policy at the Center for American Progress, joins Maggie this hour to discuss the proposed cuts at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Jill explains that these cuts could affect how diseases are treated, medicine development, research, and our overall well-being, but they also affect the economy. Wisconsin, for example, receives over $600 million in NIH grants for research. Trump's proposed cuts put nearly 8,000 jobs in jeopardy. It also puts the rural hospitals and clinics at risk and hurts the training infrastructure for young scientists. For more information on the NIH, you can check out these articles:

Dom Salvia also joins Maggie for "In Case You Missed It." They discuss Steve Bannon and his CPAC Nazi salute, and Elon Musk's email blast asking federal employees what they did last week.
