Guests: Jordana Green, Matt Blake, Matt Rothschild

In this hour, Maggie Daun and guest co-host, Matt Rothschild delve into the political tumult of the weekend. A Reagan-appointed judge, William Young, declared cuts to NIH grants by the Trump administration illegal, citing them as discriminatory against racial and LGBTQ communities, delivering a rare judicial rebuke with startling language. Simultaneously, Minnesota reels from targeted political assassinations, including the killing of Speaker Melissa Hortman. Matthew Blake, reporter at minnpost.com, and Jordana Green, host at WCCO AM in Minneapolis, join to explain Minnesota's reaction to the weekend's events. Maggie and Matt also discuss the shocking responses from some Wisconsin politicians, underscoring the endemic vitriol in today's politics. Amidst the chaos, there's a call for unity and a reevaluation of the toxic political landscape.
